MANDATORY ELIGIBILITY FOR INSTALLATION ACCESS

(a) U.S. and Coalition Commanders possess inherent authority to maintain law and order, provide security, and impose discipline necessary to protect the inhabitants of U.S. and/or Coalition installations, U.S. and Coalition personnel operating outside of installations, and U.S. or Coalition-funded developmental projects in the AOR.

This authority allows commanders to administratively and physically control access to installations and/or project sites, and to bar contractors - including prime contractors, subcontractors at any tier, and any employees, from an installation or site. A commander’s inherent force protection (FP) authority is independent of an agency’s contracting authority, and it may not be superseded by any contractual term or provision.

(b) The prime contractor/vendor acknowledges that submission of a bid, offer, or a proposal; acceptance of contract award of any type; or continuing effort under any contract that includes this clause; requires that the prime contractor/vendor, remain eligible during the entire period of contract performance to include any warrant period - for installation access to a U.S. and/or Coalition installation, regardless of whether the performance will take place on or off a U.S. or Coalition installation.

(c) To be eligible for installation access, prime contractors and subcontractors at all tiers are required to register for installation access in the Joint Contingency Contracting System (JCCS) and are responsible for keeping the information in this system updated at all times. Prime contractors and subcontractors at any tier may verify their registration at https://www.jccs.gov/jccscoe/ by selecting the “Vendors Login” module and logging in with their user name and password. The offeror must be registered, approved, and eligible for installation access prior to award, and remain eligible for installation access for the life of the contract.

1) The offeror is required to submit a listing of all proposed subcontractors, at all tiers, to the Contracting Officer with the submission of their price proposal in Phase 2, and provide updates during the life of the contract when subcontractors are added or removed. If no subcontractors are expected to perform during the life of the contract, the offeror must submit a negative response to the Contracting Officer with its proposal. After award, the prime contractor must submit a negative response to the Contracting Officer at the beginning of each performance period.

2) Failure to be approved in JCCS - and thereby be eligible for Installation access at the prime and subcontractor levels - or failure to inform the Contracting Officer of the names of all prospective subcontractors (or provide a negative reply), may render the offeror/contractor ineligible for award or continued performance.

Additionally, any firm that is declared ineligible for installation access will be deemed non-responsible until such time as that firm is again deemed eligible by the appropriate access approval authority.

(d) Installation access determinations arise from the Combatant Commander’s inherent authority and are separate and distinct from any law, regulation, or policy regarding suspension and debarment authority.

Contractor queries or requests for reconsideration related to U.S. or Coalition installation base access eligibility must be directed to the authority responsible for base access decisions.

2. Central Asia countries consist of:

• Uzbekistan.

• Kazakhstan.

• Kyrgyzstan.

• Tajikistan.

• Turkmenistan

3. A Pre-bid site visit will be conducted in Phase 2.

4. It is the intent of this solicitation that the prime contractor propose on the own past performance not the past performance of their subcontractors. An amendment is forthcoming.
