L-6 SHIP & BASE ACCESS (APR 2013)

Vendors are responsible for correctly submitting forms/applications. Vendors are encouraged to monitor email using “Request a Read Receipt” function and to confirm receipt of facsimile transmissions.

1. El Paso Intelligence Center (EPIC) personnel screening requirement

2. Base/Repair Facility Access Request

3. Vehicle Access Request

4. Ship Access List (vendor-provided)

All forms are available for download on the MSC contracts webpage at http://www.msc.navy.mil. Click on “Contracts” in the upper right corner. Click on “Online Library of Common Documents” for all forms.

EPIC: Required for access to MSC vessels. Complete EPIC form strictly adhering to format requirements. For CONUS East and Gulf Coast repairs, forward request to msc.norfolk.epic@navy.mil and for CONUS West Coast and HI repairs, forward to MSC.SSUSD.EPIC@navy.mil EPIC personnel screening requests are desired seven calendar days prior to performance start date. Requests will be managed as expeditiously as circumstances permit. Vendor will be notified by MSC of personnel who are denied access to the vessel.

Delays that may result from inadequate planning are contractor responsibility. Vendor instructions and program information is available at http://www.RAPIDGate.com or tel. 877.727.4342. RAPIDGate® access requires (in succession) (1) Individual Base Commander approval for vendor to access base, (2) Successful vendor RAPIDGate® company annual enrollment, (3) Company employee individual enrollment and possession of RAPIDGate® identification badge for single base or multiple base (enterprise) access. Vendor is responsible to confirm that each employee held annual RAPIDGate® badge is active for the specific facility and performance period in accordance with RAPIDGate® User Agreement (http://www.RAPIDGate.com).

Enclave Access request may be selected on the “Naval Base Point Loma (NBPL) Access Request Form.”
