Station Everett to be used by visitors 12 years old or greater, while being escorted by a Civil

CAC. Contact the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) or Contracting Officer’s Security

Officer for assistance as needed.

10.3.2.3.2 Single Day Pass: Visiting vendors/contractors requiring infrequent access may obtain daily passes directly from the individual Navy Installation by submitting identification credentials for verification and undergoing a criminal screening/background check. A new pass is required to gain access each day. Passes are issued by Naval Base Kitsap (NBK). The Federal

Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) National Crime Information Center (NCIC) criminal database and FBI Terrorist Watch List will be checked daily prior to entry. In addition, NBK must check the Navy’s Consolidated Law Enforcement Operations Center (CLEOC) database to ensure an unescorted visitor has no objectionable criminal record, is not on the Terrorist Watch List and has not been previously debarred from entry onto any Navy Installation.

10.3.2.3.4 Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS) Program: Commander, Navy

Installations Command (CNIC) has established the Defense Biometric Identification System

(DBIDS) for access control to CNIC Installations via Entry Control Points (ECP). DBIDS is an enterprise identity management and perimeter installation access control solution in which

Contractor personnel who enroll, and are approved, are subsequently granted access to the installation for a period up to three years, or the length of the contract, whichever is less, and are not required to obtain a new pass from the Base Pass and Identification Office for each visit.

There are no fees associated with obtaining a DBIDS credential.

10.3.2.3.4.1 The Government performs background screening and credentialing. Throughout the year the Contractor employee must continue to meet background screening standards. Periodic background screenings are conducted to verify continued DBIDS participation and installation access privileges. DBIDS access privileges will be immediately suspended or revoked if at any time a Contractor employee becomes ineligible.

10.3.2.3.4.2 Access to Installation. All Contractor personnel shall obtain access to the installation through enrollment and registration into the Defense Biometric Identification System

(DBIDS). The Contractor shall provide the Contracting Officer with the name of their designated Service Contractor Administrator (SCA) for enrollment in DBIDS. Contact the

Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) or Contracting Officer’s Security Officer for assistance as needed. Once enrolled, the Contractor must provide the DBIDS Registrar with an approved employee list and then direct their employees to register into DBIDS.

10.3.2.3.4.3 DBIDS Credentials. Contractor employees shall furnish a completed copy of the

SECNAV 5512/1 form to obtain the required background check and visit the local Navy

Installation Visitor Control Center to obtain a DBIDS credential once approved. The SECNAV

5512/1 form and additional information about DBIDS can be found at:

https://www.cnic.navy.mil/om/dbids.html.

10.3.2.3.4.4 The Contractor may initiate the adjudication process when a background screen failure results in disqualification from participation in DBIDS and the Contractor employees do not agree with the reason for disqualification. The Contractor may also apply for a waiver when a background screening failure results in disqualification from participation in DBIDS. The

Commanding Officer will be the final waiver determination authority.

10.3.2.3.4.5 The Contractor shall immediately collect employee DBIDS credentials and notify the Contracting Officer in writing:

10.3.2.3.4.5.1 That an employee has departed the company without having properly returned or surrendered their DBIDS credentials.

10.3.2.3.4.6 DBIDS Paper Passes. In the event that a visitor, vendor, or Contractor employee elects not to participate in DBIDS, the individual will be issued DBIDS paper pass from the Base

Pass and Identification Office in order to access to the installation. The time standard for the validity of a pass to access an installation will be not more than thirty (30) days and may be further restricted based on local policy or by Federal, DOD, Navy, and CNIC guidance. The

Government will not be responsible for any cost or lost time associated with obtaining paper passes or added vetting or inspections incurred by non-participants in the DBIDS credentialing process.

10.3.2.4 Transportation Workers Identification Credential (TWIC):

10.3.2.4.1 Trucking and Longshoremen industry, to include Military Sealift Command (MSC) personnel are authorized to use this credential for unescorted access so long as the holder also has in his/her possession an original Bill Of Lading indicating that the delivery of goods is within the perimeter of the host installation, or in the case of MSC personnel, the holder has in his/her possession, a current Merchant Mariner identification card.
