Instructions for access to secure documents: Documents related to this solicitation may be posted as "secured" in the FedBizOpps website. Please use the below instructions to access secured documents in FedBizOpps. Instructions for access to the FBO Secure Site: To access the secured, but unclassified, documents in the Federal Business Opportunity ("FedBizOpps" or "FBO") system, offerors must: 1. Be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). Please note that SAM has replaced the previous system Central Contractor Registration (CCR). If an entity was previously registered in CRR the information should have transferred into SAM. You just need to set up a SAM account and migrate your CCR roles. 2. Once registered in SAM, go to the FBO website at www.fbo.gov https://www.fbo.gov/ and log in. Verify your registration within the FBO system. The FBO Vendor Guide is available at https://www.fbo.gov/downloads/FBO_Vendor_Guide.pdf to provide assistance. 3. Once your SAM registration is verified in the FBO system, click on the secured document link, which should then provide you with the corresponding link for the DD2345 - Military Critical Technical Data Agreement Form. You can also find the DD2345 at http://www.dlis.dla.mil/JCP/forms/DD2345Form.pdf. Fill out the DD2345 form and submit a hard copy of the original form, together with all required documentation, to the Defense Logistics Information Service (DLIS), U.S./Canada Joint Certification Program (JCP), at the address listed on the form. JCP will return an approved and signed certified form, which will include your certification and expiration date within five days of receipt. Please note that delays may be incurred if forms and/or required documentation are incomplete or incorrect. Additionally, it can take up to 24 hours for the JCP information to reach all systems. 4. Once you receive the approved DD2345 form from JCP and have verified your status on the JCP website, http://www.logisticsinformationservice.dla.mil/jcp/search.aspx, enter the FBO system and click on the secure document link. The FBO system will require you to enter your MPIN. The MPIN number is a mandatory data element created by the CCR registrant and must have nine characters: at least one letter (upper or lower case) and one number. No spaces or special characters are permitted. It allows access to related acquisition systems (i.e. ORCA and PPIRS). It also serves as a validation to access sensitive but unclassified documents associated with a notice posted to FBO. 5. Following verification of the MPIN in FBO, vendors will submit a request for explicit access to the secure documents through the FBO system by clicking on the secure document line, then clicking the "Request Explicit Access" button. Once vendors request explicit access, the FBO system will send notification to the DLA Energy personnel assigned to the procurement, who will approve the request in the system. Vendors will receive an email once the access request has been approved by DLA Energy. 6. After the MPIN has been verified in the FBO system, and explicit access has been granted, vendors will be able to enter the system and view the secure documents.
