A Draft Request for Proposals (DRFP) HM047619R0019 was posted to the UNCLASSIFIED Intelligence Community Acquisition Research Center (IC-ARC) website (https://acq.westfields.net) on 03 January 2019. In addition, the Government will establish a Contractor Bidder's Library (CBL) on the UNCLASSIFIED and CLASSIFIED IC-ARC websites. Potential offerors should monitor the UNCLASSIFIED IC-ARC website for the official release of the NSE RFP package. The NSE RFP package will not be posted on the Federal Business Opportunities website (https://www.fbo.gov/). It is incumbent upon the interested parties to review the IC-ARC websites frequently for any updates and amendments to any and all documents.

Instructions to access the IC-ARC websites are provided below:

1) For people with TS//SCI clearances and access to a TS//SCI system:
For accessing the CLASSIFIED ARC, you must first create an account on the UNCLASSIFIED ARC at https://acq.westfields.net/. Approximately two (2) working days after creating your UNCLASSIFIED ARC account, a CLASSIFIED ARC account will automatically be created for you. After waiting the two (2) days, on a TS//SCI system, go to https://acq.nro.ic.gov. Try to log onto the CLASSIFIED ARC using your use name and password that you created on the UNCLASSIFIED ARC. Note: This will not log you onto the CLASSIFED ARC, but it will generate an email that will be sent to your classified email (which you were required to enter when you created your unclassified account) that contain a time-sensitive token that will allow you to access the CLASSIFIED ARC. You will need to link your PKI certifications.

2) For people with TS//SCI clearances and no access to a TS//SCI system:
Follow the steps from above for creating you unclassified account. After two (2) working days, call the ACE Front Desk (703-230-6100) and request an appointment to get access to the ACE Reading Room. Let the Front Desk know that this is your first attempt to access the ARC to ensure Help Desk support is available. At your appointed time, go to the ACE (14660 Lee Road, Chantilly, VA 20151).

3) ACE Helpdesk support can be reached at (703) 230-6300 if you have any issues with PKI certifications or logging onto the ARC on a contractor classified system or at the Reading Room at the ACE.
