Potential U.S. prime contractors must 1) maintain a professionally active facility (office, factory, laboratory, etc.) in the United States, 2) be pre-approved for participation in NATO International Competitive Bidding (ICB), 3) have successfully completed work that is similar to the subject IFIB, and 4) be nominated to the bidders list by the U.S. Government. In addition, contractor personnel performing services under the contract must be citizens of a NATO nation and hold individual security clearances at the level of NATO SECRET. The contractor is responsible for ensuring that the Defense Industrial Security Clearance Office (DISCO) forwards to the JFTC the required NATO security clearance certifications.
