- Description
- Supreme Allied Commander Transformation Headquarters (HQ SACT) intends to issue an Invitation for International Bidding (IFIB) for the provision of contracted services.

This process will provide through-life traceability of the requirements using an efficient change management process. ACT will be responsible for tasks such as capability requirements definition, requirements management, systems engineering, architecture development, holistic through lifecycle management, capability acceptance, Capability Package management (e.g. support of Air Command and Control System (ACCS), Air Ground Surveillance (AGS), Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) and various Communications and Information Systems (CIS) capabilities. Potential 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, and 3) have performed similar tasking to the requirement described in the solicitation. Contractor personnel performing services under the contract must 1) be citizens of a NATO nation and 2) have appropriate professional training and experience in a related field. The contract will cover services being accomplished at two locations, Norfolk, Virginia and Mons, Belgium. Occasional travel may be required between Belgium and the United States. The reference for this project is IFIB-ACT-SACT-18-50. Partial Bidding is authorized.

Before the U.S. Government can nominate a U.S. prime contractor to the bidders list for this procurement, the U.S. firm must be approved for participation in NATO ICB. U.S. firms are approved for 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 company employee who should receive the bid documents Upon approval of the one-time NATO ICB application, the Department of Commerce will then know to issue a Declaration of Eligibility (DOE), which is the document used to nominate an approved facility to the bidders list for a particular NATO ICB project.
