One preproposal conference/site visit is scheduled for this project and is scheduled for 10:00 AM local time on 5th of August, 2021.  All individuals wishing to attend will be required to request Center access no later than 24 hours prior to the site visit date. Those individuals wishing to attend must provide their name and corporate affiliation to William.hurley@dla.mil BY EMAIL.  The Defense Supply Center is a secure facility and individuals who do not preregister will not be granted access.  Registered participants can not bring unregistered personnel on center with them.   Individuals will need to enter the Center through the Visitor Processing Center located at the DSCC Main Entrance, 401 N.

Beginning on January 30, 2017 certain state ID’s may not be accepted for access to DSCC due to non-compliance of the Real ID Act of 2005. The Real ID Act of 2005 and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Guidance (lead for REAL ID enforcement) prohibits Federal agencies (includes DoD) from accepting drivers' licenses and state identification cards from non-compliant states. The Act was enacted to implement the 9/11 Commission’s recommendation that the Federal Government “set standards for the issuance...of sources of identification, such as driver's licenses.” It established minimum security standards for license issuance and production and assigned responsibility for determining whether a state is meeting these standards to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).   For more information on the Real Act of 2005 and a list of compliant and non-compliant states please go to the following DHS website: https://www.dhs.gov/real-id.
