- Description
- The NATO Maintenance and Supply Agency (NAMSA) 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 the provision of vehicles and trailers for the following two projects: 1. Provide Deployable Non Communication and Information System (CIS) Equipment, which is part of the Capability Package (CP) 0A0149 NATO Deployable Command and Control (C2) Assets 2. Selected Vehicles for SOC and Early Deployment, which is part of Capability Package (CP) 5A0156 NATO Deployable Headquarters Assets for Combined Joint Task Force (CJTF) Both Capability Packages are directly related, and in order to reduce the overall system cost, the projects related to the provision of vehicles and trailers have been defined with similar technical characteristics. The procurement of the vehicles for these two projects, therefore, will be consolidated in the same ICB procedure. NAMSA is acting as the Host Nation for this contract. The estimated total value is 30 million Euro ($38 million USD). The NAMSA references for this contract are CP 0A0149 and CP 5A0156. The Department of Commerce will be using the reference IFIB-NAMSA-CP-149-156. The envisaged bidding method is the One Step International Competitive Bidding (ICB) Procedure. The bidders list for this ICB will include a list of registered firms identified from the NAMSA Source File as well as bidders nominated to the bidders list by their governments. OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS The equipment within the scope of this contract will be delivered in two major phases. The first delivery will satisfy the assets required for the NATO Deployable CIS organizations to allow for technical integration with communication equipment. The list of equipment to be procured in the first phase has the reference CP 149. The second delivery will cover the remaining non-CIS assets necessary for CJTF and is included under the reference CP 156. 10-ton trucks (1)* Quantity: 8 Phase: CP 149 For 20-ft ISO CIS shelters 5-ton trucks (2) Quantity: 16 Phase: CP 149 For ACE Type II CIS shelters and 16-8 COMs plus Crypto Shelters 5-ton trucks (2) Quantity: 7 Phase: CP 149 For TSGT shelters and generators 5-ton trucks (2 ) Quantity: 6 Phase: CP 149 For 20-ft ISO shelters (Ops Van and Help Desk) 5-ton cargo trucks with bows & tarp cover (2) Quantity: 37 (17+20) Phase: CP 149 + CP 156 5-ton cargo trucks (2) Quantity: 52 Phase: CP 149 For ISO containers Medium communications vehicles (3) Quantity: 34 Phase: CP 149 For smaller than ACE Type I shelters 1-ton Cargo Vehicles Rough Terrain (4) Quantity: 24 (16+8) Phase: CP 149 + CP 156 1-ton Passenger Vehicles Rough Terrain (PVRTs) (5) Quantity: 151 (133+18) Phase: CP 149 + CP 156 Recovery Trucks (6) Quantity: 4 Phase: CP 149 400-liter water trailers (7) Quantity: 2 Phase: CP 149 1000-liter water trailers (7) Quantity: 6 Phase: CP 149 2000-liter water trailers (7) Quantity: 8 Phase: CP 149 5000-liter water trailers (7) Quantity: 4 Phase: CP 156 700-liter fuel trailers (8) Quantity: 2 Phase: CP 149 1000-liter fuel trailers (8) Quantity: 2 Phase: CP 149 4500-liter fuel trailers (8) Quantity: 24 Phase: CP 149 5000-liter sewage trailers (9) Quantity: 4 Phase: CP 156 2-ton trailers (one axle) for 5-ton trucks (10) Quantity: 14 (6+8) Phase: CP 149 + CP 156 2-axle trailers (11) Quantity: 20 Phase: CP 149 For 20-foot ISO shelters (Office Modules) 6m 2-axle cargo trailers (12) Quantity: 4 Phase: CP 156 0.5 ton trailers (one axle) (13) Quantity: 133 Phase: CP 149 Shelter mobilizers (14) Quantity: 20 For 16 mobilizers with C130 loading and side lift kits; 4 mobilizers with side lift kits only Mini-buses (15) Quantity: 4 Phase: CP 156 Blast and bullet-proof PVRTs (16) Quantity: 4 Phase: CP 156 4-ton rough terrain forklifts (17) Quantity: 4 Phase: CP 156 Side-loading ISO container handlers (18) Quantity: 2 Phase: CP 156 DESCRIPTIONS* (1) 10-ton Truck Engine Power: > 240 KW / 326 HP Torque: > 1500 Nm Displacement: > 4200 cm Type: Euro 4 or higher, diesel, turbo-charged with intercooler Thermostatically controlled cooling and engine heating system Dimensions and weights: Length: approx 9000 mm Width: approx 2400 mm Height: allowing for C130 transportablity Payload: min 11,000 kg Gross vehicle weight: up to 22,000 kg (2) 5-ton Truck Engine As per 10-ton truck Dimensions and weights: Length: approx 7800 mm Width: approx 2400 mm Height: allowing for C130 transportability Wheelbase: approx 4500 mm Load capacity: min 7500 kg Gross vehicle weight: < 18,000 kg (3) Medium Communications Vehicle Engine Power: >130 KW (177 HP) Torque: > 380 NM Displacement: > 2600 ccm Type: Euro 4 or higher, diesel, turbo-charged with intercooler Thermostatically controlled cooling and engine heating system Dimensions and weights: The vehicles are to be used for carrying ACE Type I shelters modified to fit C130 aircraft.

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 nominated as identified as potential sources from the NAMSA Source File, firms must be nominated by the US Government with the required Declaration of Eligibility (DOE). A firm that has been approved for bidding on NATO projects must request that the U.S. Department of Commerce issue the required DOE for a particular project. The DOE is used to nominate the firm to the Bidders List. 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 Invitation for International Bids (IFIB) has been issued. IMPORTANT DEADLINES 1. Final date for the U.S. Department of Commerce to submit a Declaration of Eligibility on your behalf: 17 July 2006 2. Anticipated date that the Host Nation will forward the Invitation for International Bids (IFIB) to those on the Bidders List: not before 1 August 2006 (The bidders will be allowed not fewer than 84 days to reply to the relevant ICB.) The bids to be received in response to this IFIB will be valid for a period of up to 180 days. Please note that actual quantities to be included in the IFIB may vary slightly from those specified in this NOI.
