Potential U.S. prime contractors must 1) maintain a professionally active facility (office, factory, laboratory, etc.) within the United States, 2) be approved for participation in NATO International Competitive Bidding (ICB), and 3) be nominated to the bidders list by the U.S. Government. The reference for the project is IFB-NCIA-MONS-18-01 and all correspondence concerning the IFB should reference this number. NCIA will use a source selection process of lowest price and technically compliant. No partial bidding will be allowed. The contract will be a firm fixed price contract. SUMMARY OF REQUIREMENTS The contractor will provide corrective and preventative maintenance for A/V, VTC, Interpretation and Conference Room Equipment and the PA System installed at SHAPE. There is a requirement to have all conference room specific equipment maintained and repaired to ensure a high level of operational availability and capability. Furthermore, there are obvious safety and health requirements for operational PA systems within the SHAPE Command Centre work areas. Support Services to be Provided: o Help Desk o On Site Support o Corrective Maintenance o Preventative Maintenance o Interventions BECOMING ELIGIBLE TO BID NATO ICB requires that the U.S. Government nominate U.S. prime contractors to the bidders list. Before the U.S. Government can nominate a U.S. prime contractor to the bidders list, however, the U.S. firm must be approved for participation in NATO ICB. Firms are approved for U.S. NATO ICB on a facility-by-facility basis. The U.S. 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 company employee who should receive the bid documents After approval of your one-time NATO ICB application, the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) will then know to follow up by issuing a Declaration of Eligibility (DOE) for that project. NATO member governments use a DOE to nominate an approved firm to the bidders list for a particular NATO ICB project. IMPORTANT DATES: - Request from DOC that a DOE be issued (and, for firms new to NATO ICB, submit the completed one-time NATO ICB application): 02 February 2018 - NCIA issues IFB (target): February 2018 - Bid Closing: end of April 2018 - Contract Award (target): June 2018 - Contractor Performance Period: starting from day of Contract Award until 31 December 2018, followed by four optional years
