- Description
- summary description The NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCI Agency) intends to issue an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the procurement of electronic equipment for the Ship-Shore-Ship Buffer (SSSB) system for Croatia. The scope of this bid will encompass the procurement and installation of the radio communication and inter-site link equipment of the SSSB project. Potential U.S. prime contractors must 1) be pre-approved for participation in NATO International Competitive Bidding (ICB) and 2) be nominated to the bidders list by the U.S. Government. Execution of the proposed contract will require the unescorted access and work of contractor personnel at NATO Class II security areas. Accordingly, contractor personnel will be required to hold individual security clearances of NATO SECRET. The contractor is responsible for ensuring that the Defense Security Service forwards to the NATO contracting entity the required NATO security clearance certifications. Prospective bidders will be invited to participate in a four-day combined bidders' conference and site survey that are currently scheduled to be held in late March 2017. Bidders are kindly reminded to take actions to have a valid security cleranc of a minimum of NATO SECRET for the people who will be attending the site survey. The reference for the IFB is IFB-CO-14036-SSSB-HRV and all correspondence concerning the IFB should reference this number. The contract will be a single Firm Fixed Price contract with expected duration of approximately 24 months. The contract will be awarded to the firm submitting the lowest priced technically compliant bid. SUMMARY DESCRIPTION Please see attachment. 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, however, the U.S. firm must be approved for participation in NATO ICB. Firms are approved for U.S. NATO ICB on a facility-by-facility basis. The U.S. 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 the completed one-time NATO ICB application): 26 January 2017 - IFB issued (target): February 2017 - Bid Closing (target) : May 2017 - Contract Award (target): December 2017
