- Description
- The NATO Supreme Allied Commander Transformation (SACT) has released a notification of intent to issue an Invitation for International Bidding (IFIB) concerning its plan to hire a contractor(s) to develop a Disease Surveillance System Experiment.

Partners are asked to report systems and capabilities they are willing to demonstrate and to identify the conditions and location of their demonstration.
