Parking is available near the intersection of Craig Street and Navajo Street and also at Craig Street and Saint Louis Street. Time: The site visit will begin at 08:00 AM on 28 July 2014. Attendees should plan on arriving to WSMR at least one and one half hours (1.5) prior to the site visit so you may process through security, obtain a visitor's pass and check-in at the event. Check-in for the site visit will begin at 07:30 AM MST. All questions will be held until after the site visit. All questions and answers discussed at the Site Visit will be published for all Contractors via the FBO website.

No foreign nationals are permitted.

Any response submitted after 23 July 2014 will not be accepted. Due to security procedures, the persons attending the Site Visit must be listed on the RSVP form. Las Cruces, NM is the closest city to WSMR, NM. The closest WSMR access gate is located off of US Highway 70. El Paso International Airport, El Paso, TX is the closest regional airport. Contractors are solely responsible for all expenses associated with their attendance at the Site Visit. Please visit the WSMR website, http://www.wsmr.army.mil/Pages/Home.aspx for more information about WSMR. Maps of WSMR are available at: http://www.wsmr.army.mil/testcenter/Pages/WhereWeAre.aspx. Occasionally, WSMR will block roads (including US Highway 70) in the area for missile testing. Please call the Road Block phone number, 575-678-1178, for recorded updates on planned roadblocks. The information is usually updated each weekday in the afternoon for the following day. Since the actual firing schedule can slide due to any number of circumstances like weather or equipment problems, travelers should also check the recording right before leaving to ensure nothing has changed. Installation Access: All visitors must bring photo identification. To obtain a vehicle security pass you must have a driver's license, vehicle registration and proof of insurance. All visitors MUST enter WSMR through the Las Cruces main gate (located off of US Highway 70). Visitors MUST stop at the WSMR Reception Center to obtain their visitor's pass. Safety: As a tri-service Department of Defense Range, White Sands has tested nearly every type of deployable ordnance developed in the United States since 1945. Quite a number of these munitions were deliberately designed to blend in with the terrain, and their presence may not be immediately obvious to the casual observer. Consequently, even though WSMR performs extensive Range Clearance activities, there is no assurance that any area of the Range is truly 100% free of unexploded ordnance. More information concerning unexploded ordnance hazards can be viewed at http://www.wsmr.army.mil/ux/Pages/default.aspx. The contractors are responsible to view the video found at this link under the title, UXO Hazards Video. You will be asked to sign a form, acknowledging that you have viewed this video at the check-in event. No person will be allowed to tour the range without first viewing this video. Photography & Video Ban: NO photographs or videos are allowed on WSMR except in the WSMR museum missile park area.
