- Description
- The NATO Communication and Information Systems Services Agency (NCSA) 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 Provision of Support to the Centralized NATO Automated Financial System (CNAFS). The services shall be delivered in locations throughout Europe and the United States with NCSA HQ SHAPE in Mons, Belgium as the primary place of work. The Department of Commerce will nominate to the bidders list only those firms in possession of a current SECRET Facility Security Clearance. In addition, all contractor personnel involved in the project must be in possession of current SECRET Personnel Security 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. NCSA is serving as the procurement agency for this project, which was authorized by the MBC. NC3A 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-11-07-NCSA-NCHQ and all correspondence in relation to this procurement shall refer to this reference. The base contract is for a period of 6 months in 2011 with up to four one-year support options. REQUIREMENT As part of the continuation of the support to the upgraded CNAFS, which is based on the Oracle Financials Application 11i version with the Oracel Data Base 10g (that could be upgraded in the near future), experienced personnel are required to support the NATO sites. The requirement is to procure services by technical and functional consultants supporting the system and providing training. 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.
