Additionally, electronic copies of the Technical Library will be available at the Pre-proposal Conference for those interested parties that request a copy and already obtained a JCP certification (see below note regarding registering for JCP certification) no later than October 12, 2012. Please be advised that only one copy of the Technical Library will be available per company. For those interested parties that are not able to attend the Pre-Proposal Conference and/or Site Visit, please submit a request to the individuals in the paragraph above, and provide the company mailing address where FedEx packages can be received and we will mail you a copy of the Technical Library.

PLEASE NOTE: To access the secured documents on the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) website, all vendors must be registered in Central Contractor Registration (CCR) first and foremost. If you are registered in CCR, once you click on the secured document link in the FBO, it should prompt you with the corresponding link for the DD2345 - Military Critical Technical Data Agreement Form, in order to complete the Joint Certification Program (JCP) certification. All vendors are required to fill out and submit the DD2345 form. Instructions for submission of that form can be found in that link as well.

If you are not registered in CCR, you will need to register in SAM. The System for Award Management (SAM) is a Federal Government owned and operated free web site that consolidates the capabilities found in the old CCR/Federal Agency Registry (FedReg), the Online Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA), and the Excluded Parties List System (EPLS) websites. All records from CCR/FedReg, ORCA, and EPLS, active or expired, were moved to the SAM website. If you have a registered account in CCR, you can utilize your CCR user name and password in SAM, but only after creating a SAM account. Keep in mind that it takes 48-72 hours for the registration process in SAM to be complete. The SAM website is located at https://sam.gov/. Vendors must also request and be approved for explicit access to each solicitation in order to view the secure packages.
