- Description
- Allied Joint Forces Command Headquarters Brunssum (JFC Brunssum) intends to issue an Invitation for International Bidding (IFIB) for the provision of printed billboards throughout Afghanistan for Resolute Support (RS). Potential U.S. prime contractors 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), 3) have performed at least two contracts within the last five years substantially similar in scope to the requirement described in the solicitation and 4) be nominated to the bidders list by the U.S. Government. The reference for the IFIB is IFIB-ACO-BRU-15-15. REQUIREMENT The contractor shall provide printing 264 billboards positioned throughout the five regions, with options for additional billboards as determined by Combined Joint Special Operations Task Force-Afghanistan (CJPOTF). The scope of work includes the rental of these billboards as well as the printing and re-fixing (installation) of the advertisement posters on the billboards. The size of the billboards is determined by CJPOTF. The locations for placing the billboards are determined by operational requirements of CJPOTF and are subject to change. Partial bidding is not authorized. The type of contract is Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ). BECOMING ELIGIBLE TO BID NATO ICB requires that the NATO member governments nominate potential prime contractors to the bidders list. Before the U.S. Government can nominate a U.S. prime contractor to the bidder 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 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 firm to the bidders list for a particular NATO ICB project. IMPORTANT DATES U.S. firms should request a DOE (and, for U.S. firms new to NATO ICB, submit the one-time NATO ICB application): 26 March 2015 IFIB release: 01 April 2015 (planned) JFC Brunssum will directly e-mail the IFIB to all firms on its bidders list. Bid closing: 18 May 2015 (projected) Period of Performance: 01 July 2015 to 31 December 2015 (6 months contract plus 1 option year)
