- Headquarters Allied Joint Force Command Brunssum (HQ Brunssum) intends to issue an Invitation for International Bidding (IFIB) for the provision of certified explosives and narcotics detector dogs at HQ Resolute Support in Kabul, Afghanistan. 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-16-16 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. HQ Brunssum will directly e-mail the IFIB to all firms on its bidders list. 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.

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.
