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.

On site Contractor personnel shall support various C-IED functional areas including C-IED Technical and Operational Policy, Concept, Doctrine Development and Experimentation Support. These services shall assist with assembly of future year's programs and the C-IED Program's normal daily operations and experimentation events in support of its vision, mission, guiding principles, core competencies, and annual training plans.

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: 26 August 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.
