- Description
- Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) intends to advertise for International Competitive Bidding (ICB) on works and services within the framework of the NATO Military Budget Committee (MBC). Eligible firms will be invited to bid on the provision of military expert support to SHAPE, Allied Command Transformation (ACT), and their respective subordinate commands. The contractor should be able to provide manpower, management, and expert knowledge to support the planning, preparation, execution, and assessment of NATO training and exercises. The contractor’s personnel must hold a current NATO SECRET security clearance, which shall be valid for the duration of the contract. 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. The estimated value of this project is not available at this time. The type of contract is Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity with a minimum of 800 man-hours per year. The period of performance is one base year (FY 2011) and up to four one-year options. SHAPE is serving as the procurement agency for this project, which was authorized by the MBC. SHAPE intends to award the contract to the contractor submitting the lowest technically compliant bid. Partial bidding is not authorized. The reference for this project is ACO-SH-10-35. The Department of Commerce will be using the same reference. Firms that have been approved for participation in NATO ICB and that have successfully performed 1) at least three contracts within the last five years substantially similar in scope to the requirement described in the solicitation and 2) with a minimum of six months per contract may request nomination to the bidders list. The Invitation for International Bid (IFIB) package will contain material at the level of NATO UNCLASSIFIED. BIDDING PROCEDURE Before a firm can be nominated to the bidders list for this ICB 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. The application requires supporting documentation in the form of 1) a company resume and 2) an annual report or set of financial documents indicating compilation, review, or audit by an independent CPA. The application and supporting documentation may be submitted as e-mail attachments. If, when submitting the application, your firm is interested in a specific NATO ICB project, please include the following in the text of your email: - the title and/or solicitation number of the project - the name/phone/FAX/email of the point of contact for the bid documents Upon approval of your one-time NATO ICB application, the Department of Commerce will then know to follow up by issuing a Declaration of Eligibility (DOE) for that project. A DOE is used to nominate an approved firm to the bidders list for a particular NATO ICB project. IMPORTANT DEADLINES 1. Deadline for requesting Declaration of Eligibility: 11 May 2010 (Under MBC rules, the contracting agency will continue to accept nominations to the bidders list after the IFIB is issued and until the bid closing date.) 2. Estimated IFIB release date: 01 June 2010 IFIB documents will be posted on the following website: http://www.aco.nato.int/page136374522.aspx 3. Estimated bid closing date: 01 September 2010
