- Description
- The NATO Maintenance and Supply Agency (NAMSA) intends to issue an Invitation for Bid (IFB) on works and services within the framework of the Investment Committee. Eligible firms will be invited to provide bids on Provision of Rough Terrain Container Handlers. The envisioned bidding method is the One Step International Competitive Bidding (ICB) procedure. In order to bid on this project, U.S. companies must 1) maintain a professionally active facility (office, factory, laboratory, etc.) in the United States, 2) be pre-approved for participation in NATO ICB, and 3) be nominated to the bidders list by the U.S. Government. The Department of Commerce will be using IFB-5HQ27010-1J as its reference for the IFB. SUMMARY DESCRIPTION The contractor shall furnish to NAMSA two rough terrain container handlers in accordance with the requirements in the Statement of Work. Some additional, optional units may also be procured. The rough terrain container handlers, featuring rough terrain mobility while being deployable by C-130 aircraft, are intended for loading, offloading, and moving 6.058 meter shipping containers to support NATO military forces that may be deployed in mobile 500-man camps over a wide range of geographic environments and climatic conditions. Accordingly, NATO expects the equipment to be robust, of high quality, and capable of making repeated lifts reliably and without breakdown. BIDDING PROCEDURE Before a U.S. firm can be nominated to the bidders list for this procurement, it must be approved for participation in NATO ICB. Firms are approved for NATO ICB on a facility-by-facility basis. The 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 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. IMPORTANT DEADLINES Request from the Department of Commerce that a DOE be issued (and, for firms new to NATO ICB, submit completed one-time NATO ICB application): no later than 25 June 2012 Planned tender release date: not before 28 June 2012 Scheduled bid closing date: The bidders will be allowed not fewer than 84 days to reply to the IFB.
