Recent terrorist threats have resulted in more time-consuming sign-in and escort procedures and may impact the timely delivery of offers. See FAR 52.215-1 for rules concerning late proposals.

All vehicle occupants are required to wear seatbelts. Violators will lose their Base/Post driving privileges for this offense. Cell phone usage by vehicle operators while driving on Base/Post is prohibited.

Violators will lose their Base/Post driving privileges for this offense.

Visitors to Elmendorf Air Force Base Due to limited personnel, if a firm does not have a current pass to obtain entry to Elmendorf AFB, the firm must obtain a pass a minimum of three (3) days before the date proposals are due using the following procedures:

The visitor will have to go to the Boniface Gate for the vehicle pass* on day one. A USACE representative (or a CAC Card Holder) will meet the visitor(s) at the gate for the initial sponsorship and sign in before the pass is approved; this applies to anyone not on the Entry/Extended Authorization List (EAL = 90 days or more).

After initial access the visitor will be able to enter without someone physically being at the gate; this is good for the duration of the pass that is issued. Ensure that the visitor is prepared to provide the required documentation for the vehicle, proper ID and sponsor with ID in order to sign in.

*Short Term Pass = less than 90 day pass

*Long Term Pass = more than 90 day/EAL issued Installation Access ID Card (Joint Base Elmendorf -Richardson Card for non-CAC card holders)

Offerors must mail or deliver proposals to be received no later than the date and time stated on the standard form (SF) 1442 or subsequent solicitation amendment. Questions concerning proposal receipt can be directed to the Contract Specialist/Contracting Officer listed in the solicitation.

Offerors are advised to plan accordingly. No arrangements will be made by the government to assist in proposal delivery. Day-pass procedures will not be used for proposal delivery purposes nor are there proposal pick-up services. No escort services will be provided. It is incumbent on the offeror to plan for unanticipated delays in delivery of proposals.

All vehicle occupants are required to wear seatbelts and hand-held cell phone usage by vehicle operators while driving on base/post is prohibited.

Violators will lose their Base/Post driving privileges for these offenses.
