- Description
- The NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCI Agency) intends to issue an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the provision of domestic and international office relocation services.�The majority of the office relocations should take place across or within Belgium, Luxembourg, and Netherlands, but relocations could occur in any NATO Member Nation. Potential U.S. prime contractors must 1) maintain a professionally active facility (office, factory, laboratory, etc.) within the United States, 2) be pre-approved for participation in NATO International Competitive Bidding (ICB), 3) hold a Facility Security Clearance at the level of SECRET or higher, and 4) be issued a Declaration of Eligibility (DOE) by the Department of Commerce (DOC). �� In addition, contractor personnel will be required to work in Class I Security areas, and therefore, access can only be permitted to cleared individuals. Only companies maintaining such cleared facilities and the appropriate personnel clearances will be able to perform the resulting contract. The reference for the IFB is IFB-CO-115838-ORS and all correspondence concerning the IFB should reference this number. The successful quote will be that quote that is the lowest price and technically compliant in accordance with the evaluation criteria prescribed in the IFB. There will be no minimum volume under this contract. SUMMARY OF REQUIREMENTS Please see attached.� BECOMING ELIGIBLE TO BID NATO ICB requires that the U.S. Government issue a DOE for potential U.S. prime contractors interested in this project.

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 �� DOC is the U.S. Government agency that approves NATO ICB applications.
