In addition, the contractor's proposed personnel must be in possession of a SECRET security clearance. The contractor is responsible for ensuring that the Defense Security Service Operations Center forwards to the NATO contracting entity the required NATO security clearance certifications. The reference for the IFIB is IFIB-ACO-SH-15-04. REQUIREMENT CLOVIS is an operational tool that is aimed at enhancing the sharing of legal knowledge within the NATO Community of Interest. The contractor shall provide on-site CLOVIS Legal Support Services (Lot 1) and Technical Support Services (Lot 2) at SHAPE Headquarters. Partial bidding is authorized. BECOMING ELIGIBLE TO BID NATO ICB requires that the NATO member governments nominate potential prime contractors to the bidders list. Before the U.S. Government can nominate a U.S. prime contractor to the bidder list for this procurement, the firm must be approved for participation in NATO ICB. Firms are approved for NATO ICB on a facility-by-facility basis. The NATO ICB application is a one-time application. The application requires supporting documentation in the form of 1) a company resume 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: http://www.bis.doc.gov/index.php/other-areas/strategic-industries-and-economic-security-sies/nato-related-business-opportunities 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 DATES U.S. firms should request a DOE (and, for U.S. firms new to NATO ICB, submit the one-time NATO ICB application): 23 February 2015 IFIB release: 26 February 2015 (planned) The tender documents will be posted on the following website: http://www.aco.nato.int/page136374522.aspx Bid closing: 10 April 2015 (projected) Period of Performance: 04 May 2015 (tentative start date) - 31 December 2015 with the possibility to exercise up to four one-year options
