3.3.4.3 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.
3.3.4.3.1 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.
3.3.4.3.2 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.
3.3.4.3.3 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.
3.3.4.3.4 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.
3.3.4.3.5 The Contractor shall immediately collect employee DBIDS credentials and notify the Contracting Officer in writing:
3.3.4.3.5.1 That an employee has departed the company without having properly returned or surrendered their DBIDS credentials.
3.3.4.3.5.2 That there is a reasonable basis to conclude that an employee, or former employee, might pose a risk, compromise, or threat to the safety or security of the installation or anyone therein.
3.3.4.3.6 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
3.3.5 The contractor shall prepare a Visit Request List Form with Cover Letter on Company Letterhead for all prime contractor and subcontractor personnel required to access Navy Vessels in the CIA. The visit request will be submitted via email to the Contracting Officer’s Security Officer at christina.tobin@navy.mil. The cover letter will be a formal request for badging and access during the contract or delivery period of performance. The letter shall include (1) the purpose of access, (2) dates of validity (period of performance),
(3) contract number, and (4) name of subcontractors to be employed. The cover letter shall be signed by the Prime Contractors Facility Security Officer (FSO), and shall be received by the Contacting Officer’s Security Officer NO LESS THAN FIVE (5) FULL WORKING DAYS PRIOR TO THE REQUESTED START DATE (8-10 calendar days prior is recommended). The prime contractor shall bear full responsibility for the accuracy of the Cover Letter and Visit Request List. Note: Submitting a cover letter and/or list with incomplete information, errors or a blanket list of all company personnel can significantly delay processing requests and result in not being authorized access in time to begin the period of performance. With good cause, as determined by the Contracting Officer or appropriate Security Personnel, access requests may be refused or amended at any time.
Updates to the Visit Request List shall be made on an as needed basis. The C400 security office may be contacted at (360) 979-3825 for questions regarding visit request processing.

3.3.9 Lack of a proper ID badge will result in denial of access to the Naval Installation, facility and/or the ship, resulting in a delay at the Contractor’s expense.

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.
(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--
(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.
(h) Multiple awards. The Government may accept any item or group of items of an offer, unless the offeror qualifies the offer by specific limitations. Unless otherwise provided in the Schedule, offers may not be submitted for quantities less than those specified.
