- Description
- NATO Supreme Allied Commander Transformation Headquarters (HQ SACT) intends to advertise for International Competitive Bidding (ICB) on works and services within the framework of the NATO Military Budget Committee (MBC). Eligible firms will be invited to bid on the provision of contractor support for the development of a technology study on NATO long term requirements. HQ SACT is serving as the contracting agency for this project, which was authorized by the MBC. HQ SACT intends to use the sealed bid procedure involving possible pre-award discussions. Partial bidding is not allowed. The estimated value of this project is not available at this time. The reference for this project is IFIB-ACT-SACT-09-03 and all correspondence in relation to this procurement shall refer to this reference. The U.S. Department of Commerce will be using the same reference. SCOPE OF PROJECT HQ SACT is seeking contractor support to provide expertise in the design and conduct of a study to examine new, evolving, and emerging technology out to a time horizon of 2035 as part of the program of work for the Long Term Requirements Study commencing in 2009. The forecast will survey all available open sources as well as incorporate broad consultation with academia, industry, military, and other sources as applicable. The output of this contract will be the development of a knowledge base to support the derivation of Long Term Capability Requirements that will, in turn, seek to focus Allied research and technology resources. Companies that have been approved for participation in NATO ICB and that have performed similar contracts within the last three years similar in scope to the requirement described in the solicitation will be eligible to bid.. Contractor personnel performing services under the contract must be citizens of a NATO nation, possess at least a valid NATO SECRET level security clearance, and have appropriate professional training and experience in a related field. Please note that it is the responsibility of the contractor to ensure that the Defense Industrial Security Clearance Office (DISCO) forwards to HQ SACT the NATO clearance certifications for all personnel assigned to the contract. The IFIB package will contain material at the level of NATO UNCLASSIFIED. The work will be performed at HQ SACT in Norfolk, VA. There may be, however, a requirement for travel to additional sites in support of the contract. BIDDING PROCEDURE The U.S. Department of Commerce does not serve as the contracting agency for NATO ICB projects. Its role is to approve for participation in NATO ICB those facilities that are located within the United States. Only facilities that have first been approved for participation in NATO ICB will be nominated to the bidders list for a NATO ICB project. Please visit the following website for instructions on applying for approval: http://www.bis.doc.gov/defenseindustrialbaseprograms/OSIES/NATOprograms/index.htm The NATO ICB application is a one-time application. Please note, however, that a firm that has been approved for participation in NATO ICB must request a Declaration of Eligibility (DOE) for each project on which the firm wishes to bid. The DOE is used to nominate the firm to the bidders list for a particular project. The U.S. Department of Commerce forwards the DOE to the contracting agency. The contracting agency will not accept requests for nomination received directly from firms. IMPORTANT DEADLINES 1. Deadline for requesting Declaration of Eligibility: 18 November 2008 (Under MBC rules, the contracting agency will continue to accept nominations to the bidders list after the IFIB is issued and until the bid closing date.) 2. Earliest date that IFIB will be posted on website: 25 November 2008 IFIB will be posted here: http://www.act.nato.int/content.asp?contracttype=rfp 3. Planned bid closing date: 23 January 2009 4. Period of Performance (to be confirmed): 9 February 2009 - 31 December 2009 with the possibility of two option years (1 January - 31 December 2010 & 2011)
