- Description
- The government of Canada intends to invite bids on the acquisition of new accommodations at Kandahar Airfield in Afghanistan. The project consists of accommodations for 240 persons in Area Canada 9 for the Canadian Contingent. Canada is serving as the procurement agency for this project, which is being funded within the framework of the Infrastructure Committee. Canada has been authorized to use the International Competitive Bidding (ICB) procedure. The tender will be a firm price single envelope process. The validity period of the tender will therefore be a period of 30 calendar days from the tender closing date. The cost is estimated in the range of $2,650,000 (CAD). It is anticipated that the project will be incorporated into one contract. The reference for the Invitation for Bid (IFB) is IFB-CAN-4015 and all correspondence concerning this IFB should reference this number. The U.S. Department of Commerce will be using the same reference. BIDDING PROCEDURE Before a firm can be nominated to the bidders list for an 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): 13 January 2010 2. Anticipated IFB release date: 20 January 2010 3. Anticipated bid closing date: 18 February 2010 4. Anticipated contract award date: 20 March 2010
