- Description
- The NATO Consultation, Command and Control Agency (NC3A) intends to advertise for International Competitive Bidding (ICB) on works and services within the framework of the NATO Security Investment Program. Eligible firms will be invited to provide bids on a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for the provision of a Generic CIS (Communications Information System) Assets Buffer for ISAF (Afghanistan). The scope of the project is to provide a temporary buffer pool of CIS equipment that will be used in support of the NATO expansion in Afghanistan. It mainly consists of workstations, laptops, printers, Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), switches, telephones, fax machines, and scanners. NC3A is serving as the Host Nation for this project, which was authorized by the NATO Infrastructure Committee. The envisaged bidding procedure for this RFQ will be the BOA procedure with the opportunity for nomination of firms in addition to those identified by NC3A as BOA vendors. The estimated value of this project is Euro 1.0 million (USD $1.2 million). The reference of the RFQ is RFQ-CO-11946-OPL. The U.S. Department of Commerce will be using the same RFQ reference. Bidding documents are expected to be NATO UNCLASSIFIED. BIDDING PROCEDURE The U.S. Department of Commerce does not serve as the Host Nation for NATO projects. Its role is to approve for bidding those firms of NATO-member nations with a facility located within the United States. Only firms approved by the U.S. Department of Commerce will be allowed to bid. Please visit the following website for instructions on applying for approval to bid on NATO projects: http://www.bis.doc.gov/defenseindustrialbaseprograms/OSIES/NATOprograms/index.htm With the exception of those firms already identified as BOA vendors, approved firms must be nominated for this project with the required Declaration of Eligibility (DOE). The DOE is used to nominate the firm to the Bidders List for a particular project. The U.S. Department of Commerce forwards the DOE to the U.S. Embassy, which in turn forwards it to the Host Nation. The Host Nation will not accept requests for nomination received directly from firms. Firms that the U.S. Embassy nominates to the Bidders List will be contacted directly by the Host Nation when the Request for Quotation (RFQ) has been issued. IMPORTANT DEADLINES 1. Final date for the U.S. Department of Commerce to submit a Declaration of Eligibility on your behalf: 21 March 2006 2. Anticipated date that the Host Nation will forward the Request for Quotation (RFQ) to those on the Bidders List: April 2006 3. Anticipated closing date for receipt of bids: TBD 4. Anticipated contract award date: 3rd Quarter of 2006
