- Description
- The NATO Maintenance and Supply Agency (NAMSA) intends to invite bids on the provision of a power distribution system at Kandahar Airfield (KAF) in Afghanistan. An 11 KV 50Hz ring main electrical power distribution system shall be assembled and installed at KAF. The installation of a new ring main power distribution system will enable the connection of KAF to a ring main system to meet the current power requirements and complement the existing 60 Hz to meet the future demands at KAF Aerial Port of Debarkation (APOD). NAMSA is serving as the NATO procurement agency for this project, which is being funded within the framework of the Infrastructure Committee. NAMSA has been authorized to use the International Competitive Bidding (ICB) procedure for this procurement. The estimated value of this project is in the range of Euro 8-15 million. The reference for the Invitation for Bid (IFB) is IFB-ISAF-ENG-089a and all correspondence concerning this IFB shall reference this number. The U.S. Department of Commerce will be using the same reference. It is anticipated that this project will be incorporated into one contract. The provision of classified information with this tender is not foreseen. It is envisioned that the use of local subcontractors will be permitted for this project. BIDDING PROCEDURE Before a firm can be nominated to the bidders list for a NATO ICB procurement, it must be approved for participation in NATO ICB. Firms are approved for NATO ICB on a facility-by-facility basis. Only facilities located in NATO member nations may participate in NATO ICB. The U.S. Department of Commerce approves facilities that are located within the United States. U.S. firms will find a copy of the U.S. NATO ICB application at the following website: http://www.bis.doc.gov/defenseindustrialbaseprograms/OSIES/NATOprograms/index.htm The NATO ICB application is a one-time application. The application requires supporting documentation in the form of 1) a company resume and 2) an annual report or set of financial documents indicating compilation, review, or audit by an independent CPA. The application and supporting documentation may be submitted as e-mail attachments. If, when submitting the application, your firm is interested in a specific NATO ICB project, please include the following in the text of your email: - the title and/or solicitation number of the project - the name/phone/FAX/email of the point of contact for the bid documents Upon approval of your one-time NATO ICB application, the Department of Commerce will then know to follow up by issuing a Declaration of Eligibility (DOE) for that project. A DOE is used to nominate an approved firm to the bidders list for a particular NATO ICB project. Using the contact information indicated on the DOE, the NATO contracting agency will contact the firm directly when the IFB has been issued. IMPORTANT DEADLINES 1. Final date to request a DOE (and, for U.S. facilities not yet approved for NATO ICB, to submit a completed NATO ICB application): 08 July 2009 2. Anticipated IFB release date: TBD Potential bidders must express their desire to bid by completing Exhibit IV of the IFB package within 3 days (72 hours) from the document date stated in the cover letter, which will be a part of the IFB package. 3.
