The Government’s preferred method of payment is Government Credit Card, if no additional charges apply. Please indicate acceptance of Government credit card on the quote. If additional charges apply, the Government will pay via Wide Area Workflow (WAWF). Performance of this requirement is at Naval Station (NAVSTA) Newport, RI 02841; please refer to Clause UW H-2-0004 (RFQ Enclosure 1). NOTE: This training will take place on NAVSTA, however the location of this class is a NUWCDIVNPT building, and must obtain a NUWCDIVNPT visitor pass as well as a DBIDS card as detailed in the two-step process below. STEP 1: All personnel need a visit request to visit NUWCDIVNPT because it is a restricted area. The preferred method is JPAS. If the offeror does not have JPAS, the offeror shall fax or email a visit request with the information contained in the attached Word Document (RFQ Enclosure 2). Incomplete visits will be rejected. The Government requires a minimum of 3 business days to process. STEP 2: One of the following is needed in order to enter the base, along with the NUWCDIVNPT visitor badge: (a) a CAC card; (b) a DBIDS card; or (c) a retired military ID Attached is the vetting spreadsheet (RFQ Enclosure 3) that NAVSTA accepts to conduct the vetting for a DBIDS card. The offeror will need a DBIDS card if it does not have the other required IDs. The spreadsheet may be submitted to Visitor Control (group email is nuwc_npt_access_control@navy.mil). NAVSTA requires 5 days to process a vetting spreadsheet. This 5-day period does not include the day of submission nor does it include weekends and holidays so the actual time is closer to two weeks. Except for denials, results are seldom returned so the general rule of thumb is that if there have been more than five days excluding day of submission and weekends/holidays, and you have not been notified of a rejection, you can assume the vetting is approved. Also, visitors must stop at Building 80 to receive their NUWCDIVNPT visitor pass before going to Naval Station Gate 1 to get a DBIDS card. Visitors must NOT try to enter NUWCDIVNPT with only their visitor pass without a DBIDS (or CAC) as the gate guard will confiscate their NUWCDIVNPT visitor pass and the individual will be turned around at the gate. Offerors shall include price, delivery terms, and the following additional information with submissions: point of contact (including phone number and email address) and contractor Cage Code. Quotes received after the closing date and time specified will be ineligible for award. Please submit a quote and all questions to Nicholas.salzano@navy.mil by 1400 on February 8, 2018.
