CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

CNIN-NOTICE-0002 NSWC CRANE GENERAL PROCUREMENT INFORMATION (FEB 2016)

1. NSWC CRANE VISITOR INFORMATION: PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE POLICY

NSWC Crane has implemented full compliance with the NAVSEA Access and Movement Control Instruction 5510.2C, dated 25 February 2014, which restricts the use of portable electronic devices (PEDs) in all NAVSEA spaces. In accordance with NSWC Crane Policy Letter 14-02 dated 20 March 2014, all Government civilian, military and contractor personnel assigned to NSWC Crane and all visitors are prohibited from bringing any device or equipment capable of recording, transmitting or exporting photographic images or audible information of any kind into NSWC Crane spaces . This policy prohibits all personal electronic devices other than personal cell phones. For the purpose of this policy, “spaces” include outdoor ranges and test areas. NSWC Crane areas will be clearly marked. Prohibited devices include: MP3 players, e-readers, digital recording devices, laptop and tablet computers, and/or other electronic devices not provided by the Government or specifically authorized. One-way pagers are allowed for fire, safety and security purposes. These devices can be used in non-NSWC Crane areas.

2. RAPIDGate NSA/NSWC CRANE INSTALLATION ACCESS

NSA/NSWC Crane is implementing the Navy Commercial Access Control System (NCACS) projects. The NCACS is the standard identity management and perimeter installation access control solution for the access management of vendors, contractors, suppliers and service providers who are not authorized a Common Access Card (CAC). The rationale for implementation of this system is to increase security while reducing impacts to the contractor community by improving efficiencies for base entry.

A new protocol being implemented to fulfill this NCACS requirement is the RAPIDGate system. The system meets Presidential Directive (HSPD-12) requirements by providing background checks of contractor personnel.

A personal badge that affords base access (and/or multiple base access) for one year will be issued to each Contractor employee that meets background check criteria. While Contractors are not required to participate in this program, those Contractors who choose not to participate will be required to obtain daily passes for base access.

For contracts which include the FAR 52.204-9 Personal Identity Verification of Contractor Personnel or will otherwise require frequent access to the Naval Support Activity (NSA)/NSWC Crane site, contractors should consider taking advantage of the benefits available from the RAPIDGate program. A Government Sponsor is required to validate a Contractor’s request for RAPIDGate access, and shall be the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR). If there is no COR, then the Government Sponsor is the Contracting Officer.

The Government does not guarantee the contractor’s successful enrollment or the successful enrollment of any contractor employees in the RAPIDGate program. Significant delays may result from choosing to access the installation by obtaining a one day pass. The Government will not be held responsible for any access delays associated with using the daily pass process. Please address any questions or concerns regarding RAPIDGate to the COR or the local Base Security Office personnel listed below.

NSA/NSWC Crane RAPIDGate Primary Program Point of Contact is Jon Thomas, and can be reached at Jon.M.Thomas@Navy.mil or at 812-854-5642.

Additional information is available at http://www.rapidgate.com/rapidgate

HQ G-2-0009 SUPPLEMENTAL INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING INVOICING (NAVSEA) (APR 2015)

(a) For other than firm fixed priced contract line item numbers (CLINs), the Contractor agrees to segregate costs incurred under this contract/task order (TO), as applicable, at the lowest level of performance, either at the technical instruction (TI), sub line item number (SLIN), or contract line item number (CLIN) level, rather than on a total contract/TO basis, and to submit invoices reflecting costs incurred at that level. Supporting documentation in Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) for invoices shall include summaries of work charged during the period covered as well as overall cumulative summaries by individual labor categories, rates, and hours (both straight time and overtime) invoiced; as well as, a cost breakdown of other direct costs (ODCs), materials, and travel, by TI, SLIN, or CLIN level. For other than firm fixed price subcontractors, subcontractors are also required to provide labor categories, rates, and hours (both straight time and overtime) invoiced; as well as, a cost breakdown of ODCs, materials, and travel invoiced. Supporting documentation may be encrypted before submission to the prime contractor for WAWF invoice submittal. Subcontractors may email encryption code information directly to the Contracting Officer (CO) and Contracting Officer Representative (COR). Should the subcontractor lack encryption capability, the subcontractor may also email detailed supporting cost information directly to the CO and COR; or other method as agreed to by the CO.

(b) Contractors submitting payment requests and receiving reports to WAWF using either Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) or Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) shall separately send an email notification to the COR and CO on the same date they submit the invoice in WAWF. No payments shall be due if the contractor does not provide the COR and CO email notification as required herein.
