- Description
- The NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCI Agency) intends to issue an Invitation for Bid (IFB) to replace, within its lifecycle activities, the classified core switches at SHAPE to enable 10Gig connectivity for services. This will be achieved through the procurement of two C6807-XL switches to replace the SAR switches to support the SHAPE Campus traffic to and from the Classified WAN. Potential U.S. prime contractors must 1) be pre-approved for participation in NATO International Competitive Bidding (ICB) 2) be nominated to the bidders list by the U.S. Government. The reference for the IFB is IFB-NCIA-NSII-15-06 and all correspondence concerning the IFB should reference this number. REQUIREMENT The purpose of the IFB is to identify a supplier to provide the CISCO equipment required through this IFB. The scope of work is the procurement and delivery of two C6807-XL switches, including SMARTNET support. A detailed list (including part numbers) will be provided with the IFB. Bidders must be registered CISCO partners. All products must be packed in original and intact manufacturer packaging. All products must be original and new (no refurbished products). BECOMING ELIGIBLE TO BID 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 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 U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) will then know to follow up by issuing a Declaration of Eligibility (DOE) for that project. NATO member governments use a DOE to nominate an approved firm to the bidders list for a particular NATO ICB project. IMPORTANT DATES: - Request from DOC that a DOE be issued (and, for firms new to NATO ICB, submit completed one-time NATO ICB application): 15 September 2015 - IFB issued (target): 21 September 2015 - Bid closing (target) : 02 November 2015 - Contract award (target): end of November 2015 - Delivery: six weeks after placing the order
