- Description
- Please note: This project has been postponed to January 2011. The Notification of Intent has been extended to 01 September 2010. US firms that have already been nominated to the bidders list need not reapply. The NATO Consultation, Command and Control Agency (NC3A) intends to invite bids for the proliferation of the Bi-Strategic Command Automated Information System (Bi-SC AIS) Tasker Tracker Enterprise (TTE). NC3A is serving as the NATO contracting agency for this project, which is being funded within the framework of the Infrastructure Committee. NC3A has been authorized to use the International Competitive Bidding (ICB) on the basis of the lowest priced compliant bid (one envelope) procedure. The project budget scope has been estimated at Euro 1,270,000. The reference for the Invitation for Bid (IFB) is IFB-CO-12279-TTE. The U.S. Department of Commerce will be using the same reference. The IFB package, including the functional and technical performance specifications applicable to the bidding and the contractual documents, will be NATO Unclassified. Contractor personnel visiting or working on operational NATO sites will be required to hold individual security clearances of at least NATO Secret. 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. The IFB will include the most recent (pre-industrialized) Taker Tracker prototype software, the System Requirements Specification for the industrialized version of the prototype, and the software documentation of the Document Handling System (DHS) upon which the TTE will be implemented. A bidders conference is envisaged during the month of May 2009 to present the project and provide any clarifications. Bidders will be required to declare a bid validity of 12 months from the closing date for receipt of bids, supported by a bid guarantee of Euro 100,000. Should the selection and award procedure extend beyond 12 months after the bid closing date, firms will be requested to voluntarily extend the validity of their bids and bid guarantee accordingly. Bidders may decline to do so, withdraw their bid, and excuse themselves from the bidding process without penalty. The solicitation will include a requirement for prospective bidders to demonstrate their ability to undertake this project and to demonstrate that they have experience with the provision of a similar type of system. BIDDING PROCEDURE The U.S. Department of Commerce does not serve as the contracting agency for NATO ICB projects. Its role is to approve for participation in NATO ICB those facilities that are located within the United States. Only facilities that have first been approved for participation in NATO ICB may be nominated to the bidders list for a NATO ICB project. Please visit the following website for instructions on applying for approval: http://www.bis.doc.gov/defenseindustrialbaseprograms/OSIES/NATOprograms/index.htm The NATO ICB application is a one-time application. 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 Department of Commerce will then know to follow up by issuing a Declaration of Eligibility (DOE) for that project. A DOE is used to nominate an approved firm to the bidders list for a particular NATO ICB project. Using the contact information indicated on the DOE, the NATO contracting agency will contact the firm directly when the IFB has been issued. IMPORTANT DEADLINES 1. Final date to request a Declaration of Eligibility: 25 August 2010 2. Anticipated date that the contracting agency will distribute the IFB: TBD 3. Anticipated closing date for receipt of bids: TBD 4. Anticipated contract award date: TBD
