- Description
- The NATO Airborne Early Warning and Control Force (NAEW&CF) E-3A Component intends to advertise for International Competitive Bidding (ICB) on works and services within the framework of the NATO Military Budget Committee (MBC). Eligible firms will be invited to bid on the provision of Internet Service. The delivery location is Geilenkirchen, Germany. NAEW&CF E-3A Component operates an Internet Connection with approximately 1300 connected terminals and 2500 users. This complex is connected to the Internet via a commercial Internet connection. Core and Application services are operated by Component servers and must be supported by the Internet Service Provider (ISP). NAEW&CF E-3A Component is serving as the procurement agency for this project, which was authorized by the MBC. NAEW&CF E-3A Component intends to use the one envelope bidding procedure. Partial bidding is not allowed. The base contract has a projected duration of 12 months, with possible extension for a maximum of four additional years. Funding is approximately €40,000 annually. The reference for this project is IFIB-ACO-E3A-11-44 and all correspondence in relation to this procurement shall refer to this reference. The contractor must be in possession of a current NATO SECRET Facility Security Clearance in order to bid. The contractor is responsible for ensuring that the Defense Industrial Security Clearance Office (DISCO) forwards to the NATO contracting agency the NATO clearance certifications needed for performance of the contract. BIDDING PROCEDURE Before a firm can be nominated to the bidders list for this 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. IMPORTANT DEADLINES Deadline for requesting Declaration of Eligibility: 06 June 2011 (Under MBC rules, the contracting agency will continue to accept nominations to the bidders list after the IFIB is issued and until the bid closing date.)
