- Description
- Headquarters Allied Air Command (HQ AIRCOM) intends to issue an Invitation for International Bidding (IFIB) for maintenance and repair services on the HQ AIRCOM security system and exchange of a security system server. Potential U.S. prime contractors must 1) be approved for participation in NATO International Competitive Bidding (ICB), 2) have an active Facility Security Clearance at the level of SECRET, 3) be nominated to the bidders list by the U.S. Government, 4) have performed at least one contract in the last five years substantially similar in scope to the requirement described in the solicitation. In addition, contractor personnel will be required to have individual SECRET-level security clearances. 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 ACO-RAM-15-30 and all correspondence regarding the IFIB should include that reference. REQUIREMENT The contractor will provide maintenance and repair services for the HQ AIRCOM fire alarm panel, intrusion detection, CCTV, loudspeaker, and entry control systems (security system) and the exchange of a security system server. 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 IFIB 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): 13 October 2015 IFIB release (target): 16 October 2015 Bid closing (target): 30 November 2015
