- Description
- Headquarters Kosovo Force (HQ KFOR) intends to issue an Invitation for International Bidding (IFIB) for the procurement of Specialized Technical Reconnaissance and Surveillance Services for HQ KFOR in Film City, Pristina Kosovo. 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), (3) be nominated to the bidders list by the U.S. Government, 4) have performed at least one contract within the last three years and with a minimum duration of six months substantially similar in scope, complexity, and magnitude to the requirement described in the solicitation. In addition, contractor personnel performing services under the contract must hold a personnel security clearance at the level of SECRET or higher. The contractor is responsible for ensuring that the Defense Security Service issues the required NATO security clearance certificates. The reference for the IFIB is IFIB-ACO-KFOR-18-14 and all correspondence regarding the IFIB should include that reference. The contract will be awarded to the lowest technically compliant bidder. REQUIREMENT The purpose of this requirement is to obtain Specialized Technical Reconnaissance and Surveillance Services for NATO HQ KFOR, Film City, Kosovo. The requirement will provide situational awareness to the KFOR Command Group and maneuver elements through day/night (EO/IR) video/imagery surveillance with real-time Full Motion Video (FMV) downlinked to the KFOR Joint Operations Center (JOC) and real-time FMV and imagery available for exploitation. BECOMING ELIGIBLE TO BID NATO ICB requires that the U.S. Government nominate potential U.S. 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 U.S. firm must be approved for participation in NATO ICB. U.S. firms are approved for 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 Department of Commerce will then know to follow up by issuing a Declaration of Eligibility (DOE) for the project. The Department of Commerce uses a DOE 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 April 2018 NATO contracting office issues IFIB (planned): 26 April 2018 Bid closing (planned): 02 July Period of Performance: One base year and four one-year options
