The NATO reference that will be used to identify the documents related to this project is 5WI20101-6 and any documents concerning the subsequent bidding process will include this number for reference purposes.

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 Invitation for International Bidding (IFB) has been issued. IMPORTANT DEADLINES 1.
