- Description
- NATO Joint Force Training Center (JFTC) in Bydgoszcz, Poland intends to issue an Invitation for International Bidding (IFIB) for Role Players and Interpreters Contractor Support to the Pre-Deployment Training for NATO Mission in Iraq (NMI).� Potential U.S. prime contractors must 1) maintain a professionally active facility within the United States, 2) be approved for participation in NATO ICB, 3) be issued a Declaration of Eligibility (DOE) by the U.S. Government. Contractor personnel performing services under the contract must be citizens of a NATO nation, have appropriate professional training and experience in related field(s), and meet applicable criteria for a personal security clearance. The reference for the IFIB is IFIB-ACT-JFTC-21-130 and all correspondence regarding the IFIB should include that reference. � This is an Indefinite Delivery (ID) Requirements Contract (RC). The contract will be awarded to that bidder submitting the lowest compliant bid. Partial Bidding is not allowed. REQUIREMENT JFTC conducts pre-deployment training activities related to NMI. The NMI series of training events are aimed to prepare Individual Augmentees (IAs) for deployment to Iraq in their role as staff member or advisor in NMI Headquarters in Baghdad. These training events aim to prepare various staff for deployment and assumption of their responsibilities within their respective organizations. The requirement for contractor support is crucial to support the design, development, execution, and analysis of the pre-deployment trainings. There shall be three (3) but not more than four (4) TEs annually. In order to provide high standard training and present current in-theatre issues and cultural challenges to the training audience, the JFTC intends to contract services for Role Players (up to 5) and interpreters (up to 6; Iraqi Arabic language). The number of role players and interpreters may vary depending on the number of training audience. The contractor will equip the Role Players with Iraqi military uniforms and insignia/ranks.. The training events may be conducted on-site at JFTC, remotely (via communication platforms/tools), or as blended (on-site and remotely). BECOMING ELIGIBLE TO BID�� � NATO ICB requires that the U.S. Government issue a DOE for potential U.S. prime contractors interested in this contract.
