- Description
- Headquarters Kosovo Force (HQ KFOR) intends to issue an Invitation for International Bidding (IFIB) for the provision of Specialized Technical Reconnaissance and Surveillance Services for KFOR HQ's Film City in Pristina, Kosovo. 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 one contract 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-KFOR-15-16. REQUIREMENT The purpose of this requirement is to provide situational awareness to the KFOR Command Group and manoeuver elements through day/night (EO/IR) video/imagery surveillance with real-time Full Motion Video (FMV) downlinked to the KFOR Joint Operations Centre (JOC) and real-time FMV and imagery available for exploitation. A NATO SECRET security clearance is required in the performance of this work. The contractor is responsible for ensuring that the Defense Security Service Operations Center forwards to the contracting entity the required NATO security clearance certifications. 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): 01 April 2015 IFIB release: 07 April 2015 HQ KFOR will directly e-mail this IFIB to all firms on its bidders list and will post the tender documents on the following website: www.aco.nato.int/page136374522.aspx Bid closing: 09 June 2015 Period of Performance: One base year (01 October 2015 - 30 September 2016) and four (4) one year options
