- Description
- The NATO Support Agency (NSPA) intends to issue an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the construction of a new pedestrian entrance at the East Gate Entry Control Point (ECP) - KAIA North. In order to bid on this project, a U.S. prime contractor must 1) maintain a professionally active facility (office, factory, laboratory, etc.) in the United States, 2) be pre-approved for participation in NATO International Competitive Bidding (ICB), and 3) be nominated to the bidders list by the U.S. Government. It is envisioned that the use of local sub-contractors and purchase of local raw materials will be permitted for this project. The U.S. Department of Commerce will be using IFB-5VA30516-0 as its reference for the IFB. PROJECT OBJECTIVE The object of the contract is to provide Force Protection related works in merging the function of the Southern ECP (known as Abbey Gate) with that of the recently constructed East Gate ECP, which formed the first phase of the project at Kabul International Airport (KAIA) North. Project implementation includes civil and force protection works. In particular, these works consist of demining the affected area, construction of security fences, relocation of containerized facilities and of movable concrete walls, and construction of blast resistant structures including ancillary works such as concrete and asphalt pavements. BIDDING PROCEDURE NATO ICB requires that the U.S. Government nominate U.S. prime contractors to the bidders list. Before the U.S. Government can nominate a U.S. prime contractor to the bidders list for this procurement, the firm must be approved for participation in NATO ICB. Firms are approved for NATO ICB on a facility-by-facility basis. The NATO ICB application is a one-time application. The application requires supporting documentation in the form of 1) a company resume indicating contracts completed as a prime contractor and 2) an annual report or set of financial documents indicating compilation, review, or audit by an independent CPA. U.S. firms can download a copy of the U.S. NATO ICB application from the following website: http://www.bis.doc.gov/index.php/other-areas/strategic-industries-and-economic-security-sies/nato-related-business-opportunities 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 IFB number of the project - the name/phone/FAX/email of the point of contact for the bid documents After 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 prime contractor to the bidders list for a particular NATO ICB project. IMPORTANT DATES U.S. firms must request a DOE (and, for U.S. firms new to NATO ICB, submit the one-time NATO ICB application) by: 06 November 2013 Planned release of IFB: 18 November 2013 Scheduled bid closing: 11 December 2013 Anticipated contract award: 20 December 2013
