- Description
- The NATO Support Agency (NSPA) intends to issue an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the procurement of hazardous material storage and waste disposal. The equipment is required for the deployable 500-man camps that are part of the Capability Package (CP) 5A0156 "NATO Deployable HQ Assets for Deployable 500-man camps." 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. The Department of Commerce will be using IFB-5HQ27010-1D as its reference for the IFB. PROJECT OBJECTIVES The contractor shall furnish to NSPA Hazardous Materials Storage, Waste Disposal and Mobile Spill Response equipment in accordance with the requirements in the Statement of Work (SOW). In summary this will include: a range of steel storage cabinets for hazardous material; a variety of leak-proof containers for medical and other waste; over-pack containers for hazardous material; petroleum spill response equipment; storage drums for used POL products. This equipment and material will be used in rapidly deployable headquarters for NATO military forces over a wide range of geographic environments and climatic conditions. Accordingly, NATO expects the equipment to be robust and of high quality, capable of being mounted and dismounted, unpacked and repacked at camp sites rapidly and often, under difficult climate and terrain conditions. These items will be: a) stored in outdoor storage arrangements until needed at NATO Southern Operational Centre (SOC), Taranto, Italy; b) transported by sea, land or air in ISO type 6.058 metre length standard shipping containers that are limited in height and width to 2.438 metres and weight to 14,000 Kg c) erected rapidly by soldiers or civilians who may be unfamiliar with the task; d) deployed on exercises for short periods each year or deployed on military operations as required; e) used intensively with minimum maintenance under harsh field conditions during military operations for a period lasting up to two years; f) dismantled, repacked, stored and re-used a minimum of 5 operational cycles with only minimum refurbishment; g) maintained by soldiers with basic skills during deployed exercises and operational periods and by skilled tradespersons when not deployed, in accordance with the contractor's recommendations; h) expected to perform reliable service without loss of function at any time during deployed exercises and operational periods i) integrated in several different camps. 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: 14 March 2014 Planned release of IFB: not before 19 March 2014 Scheduled bid closing: not less than 42 days following release of the IFB
