Contractor selection will be based on the lowest compliant bid. The Department of Commerce will be using IFB-BRASS-TURKEY as its reference for this project. The IFB package will contain material of a classified nature. The Department of Commerce will nominate to the bidders list only those U.S. firms that 1) have been approved for participation in NATO ICB and 2) hold a current facility security clearance at the level of SECRET or higher. In addition, contractor personnel who will be called on to work at NATO sites will be required to have security clearances at the level of NATO SECRET. The contractor is responsible for ensuring that the Defense Industrial Security Clearance Office (DISCO) forwards the required NATO security clearance certifications to the MOD-TUR. BIDDING PROCEDURE Only facilities located in NATO member nations may participate in NATO ICB, which requires that the NATO member governments nominate to the bidders list those firms that are located within their borders. Before the U.S. Government can nominate a U.S. firm to the bidders list for this ICB procurement, the firm must be approved for participation in NATO ICB. Firms are approved for NATO ICB on a facility-by-facility basis. 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 After approval of your one-time NATO ICB application, the U.S. Department of Commerce will then know to follow up by issuing a Declaration of Eligibility (DOE) for that project. NATO-member governments use a DOE to nominate an approved firm to the bidders list for a particular NATO ICB project. IMPORTANT DATES: - Request a DOE (and, for firms new to NATO ICB, submit a completed one-time NATO ICB application) no later than 07 November 2012 - IFB planned to be issued December 2012 - Bid Closing anticipated in February 2013
