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, additional firms must be introduced by their National Delegations 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 each project on which the firm wishes to bid. 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 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: 28 July 2006 2. Anticipated date that the Host Nation will forward the Invitation for International Bids (IFIB) to those on the Bidders List: no later than 31 July 2006 3. Anticipated closing date for receipt of bids: TBD 4. Anticipated contract award date: TBD The Bidders will be allowed not less than 42 days to reply to the relevant IFIB. The bids to be received in response to the NAMSA IFIB mentioned above will be valid for a period of 120 days.
