- Description
- The NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCI Agency) intends to issue a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for the procurement of Cyber Defense Situational Awareness (CDSA) for CIS Security Services. These services are being sought from a system developer with significant experience in both agile development and the Splunk platform. Potential U.S. prime contractors must 1) maintain a professionally active facility (office, factory, laboratory, etc.) within the United States, 2) be pre-approved for participation in NATO International Competitive Bidding (ICB), 3) be issued a Declaration of Eligibility (DOE) by the Department of Commerce (DOC), and 4) register with the NCI Agency�s eProcurement tool, Neo: https://www.ncia.nato.int/business/neo-eprocurement.html� The reference for the RFQ is RFQ-CO-115883-CDSA and all correspondence concerning the RFQ should include this reference. The NCI Agency plans to issue an RFQ using the ICB Procedure for Best Value evaluations. The successful bid for this project will be the bid that offers the best value in accordance with predefined evaluation criteria prescribed in the RFQ. The top-level criteria weighting will be 60% Technical and 40% Price. A single, firm-fixed price contract is planned for the entire scope of work. SUMMARY OF REQUIREMENTS A summary of the technical requirements is set forth in the attached. These requirements are being refined and will be included in further details as part of the RFQ. BECOMING ELIGIBLE TO BID NATO ICB requires that the U.S. Government issue a DOE for potential U.S. prime contractors interested in this project. Before the U.S. Government can do so, however, the U.S. Government must approve the U.S. firm 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 or capability statement 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: https://www.bis.doc.gov/index.php/other-areas/strategic-industries-and-economic-security-sies/nato-related-business-opportunities� DOC is the U.S. Government agency that approves NATO ICB applications. Please submit to the email address provided your application and supporting documentation (as attachments). If your firm is interested in a specific NATO ICB project at this time, please also include the following in the TEXT of your email: - the title and/or solicitation number of the project - the name/phone/email of the company employee who should receive the bid documents After approval of your one-time NATO ICB application, DOC will then know to follow up by issuing a DOE for the project. �DOC will transmit the DOE to the NATO contracting agency. � IMPORTANT DATES: Request a DOE (and, for firms new to NATO ICB, submit the completed one-time NATO ICB application): 17 July 2024 NCI Agency distributes the IFB (planned): 22 July 2024 Bid closing (anticipated): 30 November 2024 Contract Award (estimated): 28 February 2025 �
