Eligible firms will be invited to bid on the provision of support to the Centralized NATO Automated Financial System (CNAFS). NCSA is serving as the procurement agency for this project, which was authorized by the MBC. NCSA intends to use the two envelope bid procedure. Partial bidding is authorized. The estimated value of this project is not available at this time. The reference for this project is IFIB-NCSA-NCHQ-10-08 and all correspondence in relation to this procurement shall refer to this reference. The Department of Commerce will be using the same reference. SCOPE OF PROJECT As part of the continuation of support to the upgraded Centralized NATO Automated Financial System (CNAFS), which is based on Oracle Financials Application 11i version with the Oracle Data Base 10g, a team of experienced personnel is required to support the NATO sites. The requirement is to procure services by technical and functional consultants supporting the system and providing training. The consultant services will consist of a base contract of a minimum of 6 months (2010) and up to three one-year support options. Potential bidders must be in possession of a current NATO SECRET facility clearance. In addition, the services shall be rendered by contractor personnel in possession of a valid NATO SECRET clearance. The contractor is responsible for ensuring that the Defense Industrial Security Clearance Office (DISCO) forwards to the NATO contracting agency the NATO clearance certifications needed for performance of the contract. BIDDING PROCEDURE Before a firm can be nominated to the bidders list for this procurement, it must be approved for participation in NATO ICB. Firms are approved for NATO ICB on a facility-by-facility basis. Only facilities located in NATO member nations may participate in NATO ICB. The U.S. Department of Commerce approves facilities that are located within the United States. U.S. firms will find a copy of the U.S. NATO ICB application at the following website: http://www.bis.doc.gov/defenseindustrialbaseprograms/OSIES/NATOprograms/index.htm The NATO ICB application is a one-time application.
