- Description
- Supreme Allied Commander Transformation Headquarters (HQ SACT) requires the use of an existing electronic software tool that will support the planning and management of NATO's Military Training and Exercise Program (MTEP). The software tool will be required to coordinate across NATO Command Structure (NCS), NATO Force Structure (NFS), and National Headquarters. The bidding procedure will be Sealed Bidding (two envelopes). The award will be based on best value criteria. Partial bidding is not authorized. The reference for the Invitation for International Bidding (IFIB) is ACT-SACT-14-21. Potential prime contractors must 1) be pre-approved for participation in NATO International Competitive Bidding (ICB) and 2) must have performed similar tasking to the requirement described in the solicitation. Contractor personnel performing services under the contract must be citizens of a NATO nation and must have appropriate professional training and experience in a related field. REQUIREMENT Key aspects of the exercise planning solution should include the following: • Full involvement of Nations, through the internet, in order to develop a NATO nation's exercise catalogue and coordinate the linkage of NATO and National exercise planning. • Flexible management of the user rights. • User friendly software for users and administrators. • Flexible software, to allow rapid changes as NATO's exercise planning processes develop. • Sustainable software solution with ongoing change and upgrade process for a minimum of 5 years. 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 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 DATES Firms should request a DOE (and, for firms new to NATO ICB, submit a completed one-time NATO ICB application) by: 05 January 2015 Please note, however, that HQ SACT will accept nominations to the bidders list (DOEs) past the nomination deadline and up to the bid closing date. IFIB release (target): 09 January 2015 The IFIB will be unclassified and will be posted on the following website: http://www.act.nato.int/contracting-procurements Bid closing (target): 19 February 2015 Period of performance: 01 March 2015 - 29 February 2016 with an option for four additional 12 month periods for software maintenance
