This equipment, part of CP 9A001102, is required for the NATO Response Force (NRF) to conduct operations in a high-threat Improvised Explosive Device (IED) environment. In order to bid on this procurement, a U.S. prime contractor must 1) maintain a professionally active facility (office, factory, etc.) in the United States 2) be pre-approved for participation in NATO International Competitive Bidding (ICB) 3) be nominated to the bidders list by the U.S. Government 4) be registered in the NSPA Source File: https://eportal.nspa.nato.int/Registration/OnlineRegistration.aspx?lng=en The Department of Commerce will be using IFB-NSPA-5HQ27203 as its reference for this project. Please see the attached Summary Description for more information. 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 reference 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: 31 July 2015 NSPA intends to issue the Invitation for Bid (IFB) to firms on its bidders list at a date yet to be determined, but not before 05 August 2015. The bidders will be allowed not fewer than 42 days to reply to the IFB. Please note that the actual quantities to be included in the IFB may vary slightly from those specified in this announcement.
