- Description
- Supreme Allied Commander Transformation Headquarters (HQ SACT) intends to issue an Invitation for International Bidding (IFIB) for contractor support to assist with the development and execution of an annual multimedia plan, various multimedia campaigns, webcast and online conferencing technology support, graphics design, development of videos, posting on social media platforms and executing marketing strategies. Potential prime contractors must 1) be pre-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 similar tasking to the requirement described in the solicitation. In addition, contractor personnel performing services under the contract must be citizens of a NATO nation and must have appropriate professional training and experience in a related field. The reference for this project is IFIB-ACT-SACT-20-24. Partial bidding is not authorized. The contract will cover services being accomplished in Norfolk, Virginia or as approved at a contractor facility. REQUIREMENT HQ SACT is seeking contract support to assist with the management and execution of specific and significant multi-media capabilities and ensure a sustained media presence not addressed by traditional NATO strategic communication assets. The main task of the Innovation Hub (IH) is to crowd-source support from a worldwide community of experts to develop solutions for NATO�s issues. The priority of the IH communication and media activities is to attract and encourage participation in the IH activities and to elicit problem owners and end users to collaborate with the IH. In addition, it is imperative to improve the overall awareness and reputation of the IH. Support is required to assist with developing solutions to target a specific audience and engage with this audience through various and evolving social media channels. All IH activities welcome online participation and are broadcasted. BIDDING PROCEDURE 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 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.
