- Description
- Joint Force Command Headquarters Brunssum (JFC Brunssum) 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 armored vehicles in support of International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) operations in Afghanistan. The requirement is for 19 armored vehicles (Toyota Land Cruiser 200 or equivalent) that meet or exceed STANAG 4569, AEP55 Vol. 2 ED1, Level 1, and BRV 1999 version 15 July 1999 “Testing and Certification of Bullet Resistant Vehicles”, Level VR6 or VPAM-BRV 2009, Level VR7. JFC Brunssum is serving as the procurement agency for this project, which was authorized by the MBC. JFC Brunssum intends to use the sealed bid with two envelopes (technical and price proposal) bidding procedure. Partial bidding is not authorized. This will be a Firm Fixed Price contract. MBC funding for this project has been announced as Euro 2,660,000. The reference for this procurement is IFIB-ACO-BRU-10-58 and all correspondence in relation to this procurement shall refer to this reference. The Department of Commerce will be using the same reference. Eligibility is limited to firms that have been approved for participation in NATO ICB and that have performed at least two contracts within the last five years substantially similar in scope to the requirement described in the solicitation. The Invitation for International Bid (IFIB) package will contain material at the level of NATO UNCLASSIFIED. The delivery location is to be determined. The base proposal is for delivery to JFC Brunssum with options to Kabul, Afghanistan and Geilenkirchen Air Base, Germany. BIDDING PROCEDURE Before a firm can be nominated to the bidders list for this ICB procurement, it must be approved for participation in NATO ICB. Firms are approved for NATO ICB on a facility-by-facility basis. Only facilities located in NATO member nations may participate in NATO ICB. The U.S. Department of Commerce approves facilities that are located within the United States. U.S. firms will find a copy of the U.S. NATO ICB application at the following website: http://www.bis.doc.gov/defenseindustrialbaseprograms/OSIES/NATOprograms/index.htm The NATO ICB application is a one-time application. The application requires supporting documentation in the form of 1) a company resume and 2) an annual report or set of financial documents indicating compilation, review, or audit by an independent CPA. 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 point of contact for the bid documents Upon 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 that project. A DOE is used to nominate an approved firm to the bidders list for a particular NATO ICB project. IMPORTANT DEADLINES 1. Deadline for requesting Declaration of Eligibility: 15 November 2010 (Under MBC rules, however, the contracting agency will continue to accept nominations to the bidders list after the IFIB is issued and until the bid closing date.) 2. Estimated IFIB release date: 18 November 2010 The IFIB will be posted here: http://www.aco.nato.int/page136374522.aspx 3. Estimated bid closing date: 09 December 2010
