- Description
- Headquarters Allied Joint Force Command Brunssum (JFC Brunssum) intends to issue an Invitation for International Bidding (IFIB) for the provision of printed billboards throughout Afghanistan as determined by the Combined Joint Special Operations Task Force (CJPOTF) for Resolute Support. Potential U.S. prime contractors must 1) be approved for participation in NATO International Competitive Bidding (ICB), 2) be nominated to the bidders list by the U.S. Government, and 3) have performed at least two contracts within the last five years substantially similar in scope to the requirement described in the solicitation. The reference for the IFIB is IFIB-ACO-BRU-16-18 and all correspondence regarding the IFIB should include that reference. The contract will be awarded to the lowest compliant bid. Partial bidding is not authorized. JFC Brunssum will directly e-mail the IFIB to all firms on its bidders list. REQUIREMENT The contractor shall provide billboards positioned throughout the five regions, with options for additional billboards as determined by CJPOTF. The scope of work includes the rental of these billboards as well as the printing and re-fixing (installation) of the advertisement posters on the billboards. The size and location of the billboards will be determined by CJPOTF based on the operational requirements of CJPOTF and can be changed based on those requirements. 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 IFIB 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): 19 July 2016 IFIB release (target): 30 July 2016 Bid closing (target): 15 September 2016 Period of Performance: 01 January 2017 - 31 December 2017 (one base year plus 4 one-year options (2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021)
