- Description
- The NATO Consultation, Command, and Control Agency (NC3A) intends to issue an Invitation for Bid (IFB) to provide for the procurement of hardware, software, and services under NATO project "Provide Access Control and Threat Identification." This high priority force-protection related procurement is in direct support of deployed NATO forces in the ISAF Theatre. The procurement includes a complete, ISAF theatrewide capability for access badge production and management, including an initial badge and capability design effort, all capability equipment and consumables, and initial onsite customer support. Additionally, it will include the necessary hardware and software to support an electronic access control solution for interior base security control points. NC3A has been authorized to use the Alliance Operations and Missions (AOM) International Competitive Bidding (ICB) procedure, lowest price technically compliant bid. The Department of Commerce will consider eligible for nomination to the bidders list only those U.S. firms that 1) have been pre-approved for participation in ICB (see Bidding Procedure, below) and 2) hold a current SECRET level facility security clearance. In addition, contractor personnel working on NATO sites will be required to have security clearances to the level of NATO SECRET. The contractor is responsible for ensuring that the Defense Industrial Security Clearance Office (DISCO) forwards to NC3A the required NATO security clearance certifications. The reference for the IFB is IFB-CO-13250-OPL. The Department of Commerce will be using the same reference. NC3A plans to place a single contract for the entire scope of work. No partial bidding will be allowed. For the Summary of Requirements, please see the NC3A bulletin board: https://industry.nc3a.nato.int/suppliers/Pages/bb.aspx BIDDING PROCEDURE Before a firm can be nominated to the bidders list for this ICB procurement, it must be approved for participation in NATO ICB. Firms are approved for NATO ICB on a facility-by-facility basis. Only facilities located in NATO member nations may participate in NATO ICB. The U.S. Department of Commerce approves facilities that are located within the United States. 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 complete one-time NATO ICB application) no later than 02 April 2012 - IFB planned to be issued in late April 2012 - Bid Closing planned for late May 2012 - Contract Award expected to take place in early July 2012
