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 With the exception of those firms already identified as potential sources from the NAMSA Source File, firms 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 Host Nation will not accept requests for nomination received directly from firms. Firms added to the bidders list will be contacted directly by the Host Nation when the IFIB has been issued. IMPORTANT DEADLINE Final date for the U.S. Department of Commerce to submit a Declaration of Eligibility on your behalf: 17 July 2007
