- Description
- The NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA) intends to issue an Invitation for Bid (IFB) to refresh and sustain DCIS Equipment Pool WP3 - Provision of User Access Modules To bid on this project, 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 Competitive Procurement (NCP), 3) be issued a Declaration of Eligibility (DOE) by the Department of Commerce (DOC), and 4) register with NCIA�s eProcurement tool, Neo: https://www.ncia.nato.int/business/procurement/neo-eprocurement The reference for the IFB is IFB-CO-424332-DCEP-UAM and all correspondence concerning the IFB should include this reference. SUMMARY OF REQUIREMENT Please see attached. BECOMING ELIGIBLE TO BID NCP 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 NCP. U.S. firms are approved for NCP on a facility-by-facility basis. The U.S. NCP 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. The U.S. Government continues to accept the legacy NATO International Competitive Bidding (ICB) application for participation in NCP. U.S. firms can download a copy of the legacy ICB application from the following website: https://www.bis.gov/about-bis/bis-leadership-and-offices/SIES/business-opportunities-nato DOC is the U.S. Government agency that approves NCP applications. Please submit to the email address provided your application and supporting documentation (as attachments). If your firm is interested in a specific NCP 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 NCP 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 NCP, submit the one-time NCP application): 09 April 2026 NCIA distributes the IFB (planned): 13 April 2026 Bid closing (anticipated): 28 April 2026 Contract Award (estimated): 30 June 2026
