- Description
- The Joint Warfare Center (JWC) intends to issue an Invitation for International Bidding (IFIB) for the provision of contract support to fulfill its requirement for Exercise Scenario Production. Potential U.S. prime contractors must 1) be approved for participation in NATO International Competitive Bidding (ICB), 2) have performed contracts within the last three years substantially similar in scope to the requirement described in the solicitation, and 3) be nominated to the bidders list by the U.S. Government. In addition, contractor personnel performing services under the contract must 1) hold a SECRET-level personnel security clearance, and 2) have appropriate professional training and experience in a related field. The contractor is responsible for ensuring that the Defense Security Service Operations Center forwards to the NATO contracting entity the required NATO security clearance certifications. The reference for the IFIB is IFIB-ACT-JWC-15-10 and all correspondence concerning the IFIB should include that reference. REQUIREMENT The contractor will support the Allied Command Transformation and Allied Command Operations goal of developing, producing, and delivering a baseline scenario for joint operational-level exercises in 2017-2018 to support the NATO collective training and exercise program. To achieve this goal, contractor personnel will contribute to the planning, development, and delivery of a new baseline exercise scenario that addresses relevant geo-strategic situations in accordance with JWC directives. 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): 09 July 2015 IFIB release: 15 July 2015 JWC will directly e-mail this IFIB to all firms on its bidders list and will post the tender documents on the following website: http://www.jwc.nato.int/ Bid closing: 31 August 2015 Period of Performance: 15 September 2015 - 14 September 2016 with the possibility of two option years (01 September 2016 through 14 September 2018)
