Notes:
- Contractors may submit up to 3 names (2 primaries and 1 alternates), but only 2 participants, 1 driver, and 1 vehicle, per company shall be allowed to attend the PPSV. The driver can enter the base but must remain in the vehicle throughout the site visit. The driver is not permitted to attend the site visit or replace any of the attendees during the site visit and must present a valid form of identification or passport for base access. Only the first three (3) names on the list will be submitted if more than three names are submitted.
- Due to limitations imposed by the host nation, Contractors not included in the base access request will not be allowed to attend the site visit. Contractors with no access to the base that show up to the site visit on their own, will not be allowed to participate.
- Late requests to be added to the US Government request will not be entertained and will not be responded to. Requests for changes to the base access request after the deadline will not be considered or responded to.
- Contractors are not allowed to inspect the project sites outside of the scheduled site visits. Any Contractor that does a site inspection outside of the scheduled site will be disqualified and ineligible for award due to having a competitive advantage.
- The US Government will not perform quality assurance on base access requests. The Contractor is fully responsible for inaccurate or blurry documents.
- The US Government will only confirm base access request information is received and added to the list for submission. Inquiries to verify if Contractor was approved will not be responded to. Contractors will only receive an email if the Host Nation specifically informs the US Government that a person was denied.
- It is highly recommended that Contractors bring a copy of the email stating their base access request was received to the site visit. The US Government will not track down Contractor’s access request submissions for Contractors not on the list.
