- Description
- OVERVIEW The NATO Consultation, Command and Control Agency (NC3A) intends to advertise for International Competitive Bidding (ICB) on works and services within the framework of the NATO Security Investment Program. Eligible firms will be invited to provide bids on a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for the provision of vehicles to support the Limited Interim NATO Response Force CIS (LINC) Capability. NC3A is serving as the Host Nation for this project, which was authorized by the NATO Infrastructure Committee. The source selection will be based on the principle of Lowest Priced and Technically Compliant Bid. The envisaged bidding procedure for this RFQ will be the BOA procedure with the additional opportunity for the Nations in response to this Notification of Intent (NOI) to nominate bidders in addition to the companies identified by NC3A as BOA vendors. The estimated value of this project is 510,000 Euros ($626,000 USD). The reference of the Request for Quotation (RFQ) is RFQ-CO-11891-NRF. The U.S. Department of Commerce will be using the same RFQ reference. SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF TASKS The transportation of 3 mobile major PoPs and 4 mobile minor PoPs (Point of Presence) requires large panel cargo vans with a 4x4 wheel drive and a diesel engine. The vehicles will carry personnel (3 persons), and the equipment and must be capable of towing the trailers with the generators. The maximum gross weight of the vehicle shall be no greater than 3,500 kg, payload must be at least 1,400 kg, load volume at least 9 m3 and the towing capacity at least 2,000 kg. They must be equipped with tow jaws. They shall be C-130 and C-160 Roll-on Roll-off capable, i.e., they must meet the aircraft cargo compartment and loading ramp clearance requirements. The vehicles shall meet the legislative requirements for use on European roads. Bidding documents are expected to be NATO UNCLASSIFIED. BIDDING PROCEDURE The U.S. Department of Commerce does not serve as the Host Nation for NATO projects. Its role is to approve for bidding those firms of NATO-member nations with a facility located within the United States. Only firms approved by the U.S. Department of Commerce will be allowed to bid. Please visit the following website for instructions on applying for approval to bid on NATO projects: http://www.bis.doc.gov/defenseindustrialbaseprograms/OSIES/NATOprograms/index.htm Firms that are not already identified as BOA vendors must be nominated to the bidders list with the required Declaration of Eligibility (DOE). A firm that has been approved for bidding on NATO projects must request that the U.S. Department of Commerce issue the required DOE for each project on which the firm wishes to bid. The DOE is used to nominate the firm to the Bidders List for a particular project. The U.S. Department of Commerce forwards the DOE to the U.S. Embassy, which in turn forwards it to the Host Nation. The Host Nation will not accept requests for nomination received directly from firms. Firms that the U.S. Embassy nominates to the Bidders List will be contacted directly by the Host Nation when the Request for Quotation (RFQ) has been issued. IMPORTANT DEADLINES 1. Final date for the U.S. Department of Commerce to submit a Declaration of Eligibility on your behalf: 27 January 2006 2. Anticipated date that the Host Nation will forward the Request for Quotation (RFQ) to those on the Bidders List: 1 February 2006 3. Anticipated closing date for receipt of bids: TBD 4. Anticipated contract award date: 3rd week in February 2006
