Due to the sensitivity of this project, all Solicitation materials will be provided via a secure site by the Government only to offerors that have been vetted and approved via the procedures described below. Potential offerors must submit the following prior to being able to receive solicitation materials:

(1) Potential offerors must submit a letter certifying that their company is owned by US citizens, and that all personnel are US Citizens; and

(2) Potential offerors must verify that their company is currently certified in the Joint Certification Program (JCP) run by DLIS. Information on this certification program is available at: https://www.dla.mil/HQ/LogisticsOperations/Services/JCP/FAQ/.

Potential offerors are encouraged to begin the registration process as early as possible as it may take 6-8 weeks for new registrants to be certified.

Please submit your US-Owned Certification Letter as well verification of your JCP certification to M. Renee Booth at Meranda.R.Booth@usace.army.mil.

After submission of your US-Owned Certification Letter and JCP certification, a follow-on vetting by the Government will take place to ensure there is no adverse information on the company that demonstrates a risk to national security or could demonstrate a vulnerability to the project.

NOTE: No documentation need be submitted by potential offerors for completion of this step. This final step is to be completed by Government personnel.

Please NOTE: Only after completion of this vetting process will potential offerors be granted access to the secure solicitation documents, which are estimated to be released around 15 November 2021. Potential offerors will receive an email with confirmation after the firm has been successfully vetted. Also, this process is project specific. Potential offerors that have been previously vetted for other secure projects must still be independently vetted for this project. Therefore, please respond and submit the required documentation if interested.
