- Description
- The NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA) intends to issue an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the procurement of performance-based business application services. The purchaser proposes to establish performance-based contract requirements with regards to day-to-day application support services and change management services. The requirements either fall directly under a base contract section or a task orders section. A single, firm-fixed price contract is planned for the entire scope of work. Potential U.S. prime contractors must 1) maintain a professionally active facility (office, factory, laboratory, etc.) within the United States, 2) be pre-approved for participation in NATO International Competitive Bidding (ICB), 3) be issued a Declaration of Eligibility (DOE) by the Department of Commerce (DOC), and 4) register with the NCI Agency�s eProcurement tool, Neo: https://www.ncia.nato.int/business/procurement/neo-eprocurement In addition, staff performing the contracted services will be required to work unescorted in Class II Security areas. Accordingly, those personnel will be required to hold and maintain security clearances at the level of SECRET. The reference for the IFB is IFB-CO-424203-NBAC and all correspondence concerning the IFB should include this reference. Competition Type: Lowest Priced Technically Compliant SUMMARY OF REQUIREMENTS A Summary of Requirements is attached. BECOMING ELIGIBLE TO BID NATO ICB requires that the U.S. Government issue a DOE for potential U.S. prime contractors interested in this project. Before the U.S. Government can do so, however, the U.S. Government must approve the U.S. firm 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 or capability statement 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: https://www.bis.doc.gov/index.php/other-areas/strategic-industries-and-economic-security-sies/nato-related-business-opportunities DOC is the U.S. Government agency that approves NATO ICB applications. Please submit to the email address provided your application and supporting documentation (as attachments). If your firm is interested in a specific NATO ICB project at this time, please also include the following in the TEXT of your email: - the title and/or solicitation number of the project - the name/phone/email of the company employee who should receive the bid documents After approval of your one-time NATO ICB application, DOC will then know to follow up by issuing a DOE for the project. DOC will transmit the DOE to the NATO contracting agency. IMPORTANT DATES: Request a DOE (and, for firms new to NATO ICB, submit the completed one-time NATO ICB application): 18 June 2025 NCIA distributes the IFB (planned): 30 June 2025 Bid closing (anticipated): 15 September 2025 Contract Award (estimated): 08 December 2025
