The AMC protest decision goal is to resolve protests within 20 working days from filing. To be timely, protests must be filed within the periods specified in FAR 33.103.

Send protests (other than protests to the contracting officer) by U. S. Postal Service to:

HQ Army Materiel Command Office of Command Counsel 9301 Chapek Rd, Room 2-1SE3401 Fort Belvoir, VA 22060-5527

(2) Contractors shall submit the name of a point of contact responsible for security requirements through the Contracting Officer to the Installation Security Management Office upon notification of contract award.

(3) Ten calendar days prior to the date Contractor employee will begin work in the controlled area of ANAD (within the gates), a Personal Data Questionnaire/Privacy Act Statement (SIOAN Form 380-2) must be completed and signed for each employee. The form authorizes ANAD to conduct a local background check for any criminal record or questionable reliability. No contractors or employees will be issued a badge without a favorable local background check. SIOAN Forms 380-2 may only be submitted for persons who are current employees of the Contractor or who hold a letter of intent to hire issued by the Contractor. Forms will be submitted to the Badge and Vehicle Office, Building 367, located at the main entrance to ANAD. NO PRE-EMPLOYMENT LOCAL BACKGROUND CHECKS WILL BE CONDUCTED BY ANNISTON ARMY DEPOT. The prime contractor is responsible for checking with the Badge and Vehicle Office, Building 367, phone number 256 235-6820, to ensure that employees have been cleared for entrance to ANAD.

(4) Also, at least ten calendar days before the Contractor expects to begin work on the installation, prime Contractor shall submit, on company letterhead, the name, social security number, date/place of birth, and citizenship of all persons entering ANAD to perform contract work for the prime and any subcontractors. Letter shall be submitted through the Contracting Officer to the Badge and Vehicle Office.

(5) Violation of any security or safety requirements will be grounds for immediate suspension of the individual's badge. DLE will notify the Contracting Officer when suspension actions are taken. The Contractor can appeal the suspension to DLE, who is the final adjudication authority of the individual's reinstatement or revocation of badge privileges.

(6) See clause entitled Identification of Contractor Employees for Contractor employees working on Anniston Army Depot.

(b) AMMUNITION LIMITED AREA. Yes , No work to be performed in the Ammunition Limited Area (ALA). Contractors working within the ALA must abide by the above guidance plus the following additional requirements:

(2) No privately-owned vehicles (POV) are authorized in the ALA.

(3) Contractor-owned, rented, or leased vehicles which are construction-type (i.e., pickup trucks, dump trucks, etc.) may be authorized within the ALA upon being inspected and registered with ANAD. ALL VEHICLES AND

PERSONS SHALL BE SEARCHED UPON ENTERING AND EXITING THE ALA.

(4) Contractor vehicles may not remain overnight within the ALA without obtaining permission from DLE and by disabling the vehicle (by removing the battery or some other method approved by DLE).

(5) No alcohol, photographic equipment, firearms, flame producing devices (to include lighters and matches), or other items prohibited by safety requirements are permitted within the ALA.

(2) Contractors working within the CLA must be escorted by a member of the security force or an ANAD employee qualified to escort. Escorts remain with the Contractor the entire time the Contractor is within the CLA.

(3) The requirement for a security escort must be coordinated through the Contracting Officer to DLE two weeks in advance of initial required work date. The number of available escorts is limited, which may affect the amount of work area available to the Contractor each day.

(4) Escorts will be conducted with a "line of sight" being maintained at all times between the escort and the Contractor. This will limit the amount of distance one crew may spread out to perform work. Escorts may direct Contractor employees regarding the distance to travel from the escort.

(5) Contractors working within the CLA may be required to cease work and evacuate from the CLA up to six (6) times per year for exercises and/or emergencies.

Safety Stand- Down Day consists of either two half-days occurring at six-month intervals or one full workday per year. Employee Appreciation Day generally occurs on a Friday (half of an 8-hour day) and is usually held in the afternoon. The Contractor’s services may not be required during these periods. In such cases, the Contractor will be notified in writing by the Government. These interruptions will be at no cost to the Government.

(3) Schedule Changes. When situations warrant, the Government may change the hours of operation to adjust for certain conditions, i.e., weather conditions (extreme heat or cold). For example, during summer production, shops may begin work at 6:00 am and leave work at 3:30 pm to avoid the afternoon heat. The Contractor shall be provided as much advance written notice as possible when these situations occur and will be expected to support any schedule change provided by the Contracting Officer.

(f) Traffic: The Contractor will be required to conform to Depot regulations concerning:

(1) Designated routes

(2) Parking regulations

(3) Insurance--See clause entitled "Insurance Requirements." The Contractor will also insure that all POVs brought on the installation are fully insured for minimum amount of personal injury and personal damage liability required by Federal Acquisition Regulation 28.307-2.

(g) Highway Barricades, Warning Signs, and Parking: The Contractor shall comply with Depot Regulation ANADR 190-5 and Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, ANSI D6.1, Part VI, Latest Edition. Contractors are permitted to drive their vehicles inside buildings to load and unload supplies and equipment. However, when finished loading and unloading, the Contractor should move the vehicle outside to a designated parking space.

(h) Temporary Structures: The Contractor shall comply with Corps of Engineers Manual (EM) 385-1-1.

(i) Fire Prevention and Protection: The Contractor shall comply with all fire prevention measures prescribed in the installation fire prevention and protection regulation, a copy of which is on file in the office of the Contracting Officer. A written hot work permit shall be obtained from the installation fire department for use of any heat producing devices such as blowtorches, portable furnaces, tar kettles, or gas and electric welding and cutting equipment. The Contractor shall be liable for any fire loss to Government property attributable to negligence on the part of the Contractor, including failure to comply with fire prevention measures prescribed by the terms of this contract.

(j) Utilities: Government-owned and operated utilities are adequate for the needs and use of the Contractor as well as the Government. All reasonably required amounts of water and electricity are available to the Contractor without charge.

(k) Vehicle Searches: All vehicles entering, moving throughout, and exiting ANAD are subject to random searches as directed by the Depot Commander.

(l) Land Use Control: Contractors who will be required to “disturb soil” in the performance of this contract shall review and strictly adhere to the Standard Operating Procedure for Land Use Control Implementation. The SOP is available in the Directorate of Risk Management, Building 1, for review by Contractors.

(m) Cellular telephones with built-in cameras are prohibited on this installation. If a cell phone with camera is found, that cell phone is subject to confiscation, and any violation may be punishable by fine or imprisonment or both.

(n) Air Emissions: The contractor is responsible for early coordination with the Directorate of Risk Management on any action that might result in air emissions (dust, volatile substances, etc). ANAD's Title V Air Permit requires the installation to obtain construction permits for new or modified air sources. The Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) must issue a construction permit before ANAD purchases and installs any equipment which will produce air emissions. Installation and/or start-up of this equipment without the proper permit and coordination with ADEM is a violation of State and federal environmental law. The violation could result in a possible civil penalty or fine of $32,500 per day per violation from the Federal Environmental Protection Agency. Contractors considering a new process or device, or a modification to an existing unit, must first coordinate with the Environmental Compliance Division, Directorate of Risk Management.

(o) Exercise Events: Contractors working on the installation are expected to participate in LEAN thinking, Value Stream Analysis, Rapid Improvement Events, and Six Sigma activities that may last from one to seven weeks in duration. These efforts, as defined below, are an integral part of the process improvements of ANAD on our journey toward building a LEAN manufacturing facility. The COR will provide detailed instructions when your involvement is required.

LEAN thinking is a coordinated response to today’s highly competitive environment. LEAN production is aimed at the elimination of waste in every area of production including customer relations, product design, supplier networks and factory management. Its goal is to incorporate less human effort, less inventory, less time to develop products, and less space to become highly responsive to customer demand while producing top quality products in the most efficient and economical manner possible.

A Value Stream Analysis (VSA) is an event that documents the current process, the planned future process and an action plan to get to the planned future process. The VSA normally last three to four days and includes representatives from all aspects of the process.

A Rapid Improvement Event is a seven-week process that focuses on events where teams of people from a broad range of parts of the business gather to streamline a process. The first three weeks are used to select an area and topic, create the team, and plan for the event. The fourth week is the actual event where waste is identified, removed, and changes to processes made. The last three weeks are to ensure changes are continuing to be used and process is working correctly.

Six Sigma is the leading quality improvement program for a rigorous and disciplined methodology that uses data and statistical analysis to measure and improve a company's operational performance by identifying and eliminating "defects" in manufacturing and service-related processes. Six Sigma differs from traditional quality improvement programs in its focus on input variables. While traditional process improvement methods depend upon measuring outputs and establishing control plans to shield customers from organizational defects, a Six Sigma program demands that problems be addressed at the input root cause level, thereby eliminating the need for unnecessary inspection and rework processes.

(p) ANAD Network: For access to the ANAD network, send a letter stating that a National Agency Check (NAC) has been initiated and furnish a copy of the SF 85P, Questionnaire for Public Trust Positions, for review prior to issuance of an interim password. The results of the NAC investigation shall be furnished to the Security Management Office, Security Office Identifier number A077, for the final adjudication.
