- Description
- The NATO Support Agency (NSPA) intends to issue an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the provision of a CIS Equipment Depot at Kandahar Airfield (KAF) in Afghanistan. The requirement is to provide an adequate storage environment and office space to enable effective support to NATO operations in RC South, South-West and West. The scope includes construction of a pre-engineered structure providing warehouse space and a structurally detached annex building linked to the depot. It is anticipated that one contract will be awarded for the complete works as described above. In order to bid on this project, a U.S. primary contractor must 1) maintain a professionally active facility (office, factory, laboratory, etc.) in the United States, 2) be pre-approved for participation in NATO International Competitive Bidding (ICB), and 3) be nominated to the bidders list by the U.S. Government. It is envisaged that the use of local sub-contractors will be permitted for this project. The Department of Commerce will be using IFB-ISAF-CIS071-2008-5VA30492-0 as its reference for the IFB. 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 U.S. firms must request that the Department of Commerce issue a DOE (and, for U.S. firms new to NATO ICB, submit to the Department of Commerce the one-time NATO ICB application): no later than 19 September 2012 Planned tender release: not earlier than 24 September 2012 Scheduled bid closing: 24 October 2012 Anticipated contract award: November 2012
