The installation Commander may deny access to the military installation to any individual in accordance with 18 U.S.C. 1382.

The three forms, described below, are as follows: (1) Common Access Card (CAC); (2) Long Term Unescorted Access Pass or Military ID; or an (3) Individual Temporary Pass. Installation access cards from other DoD installations (for example: Tinker Air Force Base, Sheppard Air Force Base, Fort Hood) do not meet the criteria for installations access. Fort Sill has a "stand alone" installations access process and does not share information with other DoD installations.
The Prime Contractor shall provide a completed FS Form 118 for each prime or sub-contract employee who requires a CAC or Long Tern Unescorted Access Pass in the performance of this contract. The required documentation shall be provided by the Prime Contractor to the Fort Sill Visitor Control Center (VCC) office between 7:00-5:00 Pm hours Monday- Friday.

Failure to receive required access shall not relieve the Contractor from execution of Contract Requirements. Denial of a request can be appealed by completing and submitted FS 117 and a letter of recommendation from the employer to the VCC for action. Submission of an appeal shall not relieve the Contractor from execution of Contract Requirements.
