QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS FOR

SOLICITATION W912LC-18-B-0001

COARNG-Space Battalion Readiness Center Project No. 080115 17 September 2018

Date: 2 October 2018

Question 1: The Company has applied for clearance using DD2345 to the Joint Certification Office but has not receive the final approval. Would the Government consider accepting the emailed confirmation of receipt & processing, and providing access to the documents for this project via AMRDEC or some other safe site?

Answer 1: The government is not offering the drawings and specs via AMRDEC/email. The pre-solicitation notice for this project was published on 05/15/2018, which identified the requirement to obtain export controlled authorization AND MPIN.

Question 2: Are you able to grant us access to download the plans and specifications? I entered a valid MPIN, but am not able to view the controlled documents. The DD2345 is approved. Please assist.

Answer 2. No. You are required to have an approved DD 2345 and MPIN. If you have both, the U.S./Canada Joint Certification Program (JCP) office reported to this office that once a company is certified with the JCP office (normally 7 to 12 business days), the company should contact FBO to have them add their JCP number to their FBO account. The FBO help desk (Federal Service Desk) reported to this office that companies need to make sure that they are registered and login as a Vendor to FBO. When the Vendor click's to open an export controlled package/document, they should be asked for their MPIN. After entering the MPIN, the export controlled package/document should be viewable/downloadable by Vendors that have gone through the JCP process. If a Vendor still has problems, the Vendor should check to make sure that their SAM registration and MPIN are valid and up-to-date. If problems still persist, the Vendor may call the FBO help desk at 866-606-8220 and ask for troubleshooting assistance.
