See p.45 of SOW for map for location of DSCR B54A In order to attend the site visit interested parties MUST follow the instructions below, not later than 3 business days prior to the site visit. This is to allow time for screening by base security. Plan on arriving at DSCR an hour prior to the site visit time, as the processing time through the visitor center fluctuates. Follow the link below to register through DBIDS, and a QR code should be provided for each visitor. The QR codes MUST be emailed to the Project Manager, Jose Reynoso (Work Cell: 804-944-0869). The QR code MUST be emailed to the project manager no less than three working days prior to the site visit. The project manager will also serve as the sponsor for site visit attendees. A new system was implemented on 3 January 2023 to screen visitors and contractors for installation access at DSCR.The new system is designed to increase efficiencies, enhance the protection of personal information during the vetting process and eliminate the use of hard copy DLA Form 1815s. The new screening system will require visitors and contractors to pre-enroll in DBIDS (Defense Biometric Identification System). To begin the process, visitors and contractors will complete registration through the pre-enrollment website: https://dbids-global-enroll.dmdc.mil. Upon entry of their information, visiting personnel will be provided an electronic form to download, which will have an individualized barcode and alpha numeric code. The codes need to be sent to the visiting person’s sponsor. Once in receipt of the barcode, the sponsor will email Security and Emergency Services and provide the barcode and sponsorship information. Once the visitor/contractor is vetted and approved for installation access, Security & Emergency Services will notify the sponsor that the visitor/contractor can go to the DSCR Visitor Center to obtain his/her pass. At the Visitor Center, the visitor provides the barcode and code provided earlier in the process and completes the credentialing process. See attached SOW and SF1442 Solicitation for full requirement details. Parties interested in submitting a quote for this project are advised and expected to have reviewed the entire SOW prior to site visit attendance.
