This page provides information on initiating the in-processing and out-processing of a contractor at NIWC Atlantic.
The new SWAT Check-Out application was released July 2023. This new tool will replace the 5500_3 Contractor Check List Form for contractors checking out of NIWC Atlantic. All contractors with access to the SWAT Check-In application will automatically have access to the SWAT Check-Out application.
Contractors performing work on a NIWC Atlantic contract must receive a Common Access Card (CAC) if physical or logical (Information Technology (IT)) access is required. Requests for CACs, IT accounts, assets and facilities access (badge) are submitted via the Check-In Application in the SWAT Tool.
Contractors no longer performing work for a NIWC Atlantic contract must be checked out of the command via the Check-Out Application in the SWAT Tool. The contractor must ensure the employee returns all applicable Government credentials (keys, CAC, site badges, tokens, etc.), ensure any assigned Government-furnished property (e.g., laptops) are returned to the appropriate locations, and all procedures are followed (see step by step guide located in the SWAT Check-Out application).
A SWAT Check-In account is required to request contractor check-in processing. Instructions for obtaining an account can be found in the Access Instruction - Check In Guide
When requesting IT accounts and facilities access, the following training and documentation is required and should be attached to the SWAT Check-In request.
CAC appointments may be scheduled once the NIWC Atlantic MPAS (Mission Partner Affiliation Sponsor) has emailed approval and instructions to the contractor applicant.
Contractors with access to the SWAT Check-In application will automatically receive access to the SWAT Check-Out application. The contractor is responsible for the return of government property and will be held responsible for any outstanding procedures not completed at the time of Check-Out. Please see the step-by-step guide located in the SWAT Check-Out application.
