Please note that all materials used in the fabrication of this item shall be furnished by the successful offeror. This solicitation is subject to the Berry Amendment, which means all components and all manufacturing must be obtained / performed within the United States. All offerors MUST be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) in order to be eligible for award. All responsible sources may submit offers which, if timely received, shall be considered. --------IMPORTANT NOTICE: NEW REQUIREMENT-------- Due to a DOD regulation requiring "identity certificates" when accessing DOD computer systems, VIM-ASAP (https://vim.dla.mil) will soon become Common Access Card (CAC) enabled. This means in order to access the system a company representative must have an ECA Certificate. There is a cost involved in obtaining a certificate (approximately $125.00 to $150.00 per year per certificate). VIM is scheduled to begin using the new logon from 8/23/2013 through 9/30/2103. After that date, no one may log on using the old user ID and password. DODI 8520.2 Mandates the use of DOD PKI identity certificates when accessing DOD information systems. The DOD established the External Certification Authority (ECA) program to support the issuance of DOD- approved certificates to industry partners and other external entities and organizations. ECA certificates enable contractors to securely communicate with the DOD and authenticate themselves to DOD Information Systems. ECA Certificates are individually issued digital identity credentials. The DOD relies upon these credentials to ensure the identity of the user in online environments or when a certificate holder tries accessing DOD Information Systems. The following are the three entities authorized by the DOD to issue ECA Certificates. Review and apply for an ECA Certificate from one of the below organizations to access your VIM account: 1. IdenTrust: http://www.identrust.com/certificates/ecalindex.html 2. ORC (Operational Research Consultants): http://eca.orc.com/ 3. VeriSign: https://eca.verisign.com/ There are three types of certificates: Medium Assurance, Medium Token Assurance, and Medium Hardware Assurance. If one person always signs in from the same computer they can get the Medium Assurance which gets loaded to their hard drive. If one person logs on from different computers they should get the Medium Token Assurance which can be carried around like a thumb drive. Only one person can use an ECA certificate. Each user will need their own (like our CAC card). Each person who needs to access the system will need one. All offerors MUST be registered in The System for Award Management (SAM) in order to be eligible for award. All responsible sources may submit offers which, if timely received, shall be considered. Availability of solicitations, FAR 5.102(d) applies, as our office no longer issues solicitations or amendments in paper form. Interested offerors can obtain a copy of the solicitation after the issuance date at: https://www.dibbs.bsm.dla.mil/. Detailed system requirements and instructions for registration can be found on the DLA DIBBS home page accessed on https://www.dibbs.bsm.dla.mil/. A few highlights of the information that will be found include: 1. On the DLA Internet Bulletin Board System (DIBBS) home page, click the VENDOR REGISTRATION link to begin the registration process. 2. In order to register for access to secure portions of DLA DIBBS, the company you are representing must already be registered in The System for Award Management (SAM) system. All Contractors must register on the SAM website: https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/ in order to be considered for award. 3. A Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code registration will be processed immediately. A User ID will appear on the registration screen and a password will be sent separately to the email address of the Super User. If a CAGE is already registered on DLA DIBBS, the name and email address of the Super User will be provided. The Super User should be contacted to set-up additional accounts, logons and passwords for their CAGE. DIBBS Super User * If your CAGE has already been registered on DIBBS, the name and email address of the person designated as your super user will be provided. * The representative who starts the DIBBS registration process has the option to accept their (SAM) registration POC as the DIBBS super user, or they can designate themselves or another person to act as the super user for the CAGE. * The super user acts as the account administrator for a CAGE. They can add up to ninety-eight (98) additional users, provide user IDs and passwords, modify existing users, and control the login status of each user for their CAGEs through My Account (Account Maintenance). 4. Important Note on Foreign Content: a. The Defense appropriations and authorization acts and other statutes (including what is commonly referred to as 'The Berry Amendment') impose restrictions on the DoD's acquisition of foreign products and services. Generally, Clothing and Textile items (as defined in DFARS clause 252.225-7012) and 'specialty metals' (as defined in DFARS clause 252.225-7014), including the materials and components thereof (other than sensors, electronics, or other items added to, and not normally associated with clothing), must be grown, reprocessed, reused, melted or produced in the United States, its possessions or Puerto Rico, unless one of the DFARS 225.7002-2 exceptions applies. i.
