REQUIREMENT Companies will be required to support Allied Command Transformation's and Allied Command Operations's goal of developing, producing, and delivering a new exercise setting/scenario combination for joint operational-level exercises to support NATO's collective training and exercise program. Primarily the contracted service will be used to contribute to the creation and management of NATO standard & non-standard Digital Geospatial Information (DGI) on core-Geospatial Information System (GIS) servers that include the provision of web map services (WMS) to support Functional Area Systems (FAS) currently used by NATO Command Staff.

Before the U.S. Government can nominate a U.S. prime contractor to the bidders list for this procurement, the U.S. firm must be approved for participation in NATO ICB. U.S. firms are approved for NATO ICB on a facility-by-facility basis. The U.S. NATO ICB application is a one-time application. The application requires supporting documentation in the form of 1) a company resume indicating contracts completed as a prime contractor and 2) an annual report or set of financial documents indicating compilation, review, or audit by an independent CPA. U.S. firms can download a copy of the U.S. NATO ICB application from the following website: http://www.bis.doc.gov/index.php/other-areas/strategic-industries-and-economic-security-sies/nato-related-business-opportunities The application and supporting documentation may be submitted as e-mail attachments.
