The NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA) intends to issue a Request for Quotation (RFQ) to provide an Implementation Management Authority (IMA) role to co-ordinate the efforts of the various Territorial Host Nations involved with implementing the Beyond Line of Site Access Point (BLOS AP) program. Potential U.S. prime contractors must 1) maintain a professionally active facility (office, factory, laboratory, etc.) within the United States, 2) hold a Facility Security Clearance (FCL) at the level of SECRET or higher, 3) be pre-approved for participation in NATO Competitive Procurement (NCP), 4) be issued a Declaration of Eligibility (DOE) by the Department of Commerce (DOC), and 5) register with NCIA's eProcurement tool, Neo: https://www.ncia.nato.int/business/procurement/neo-eprocurement The reference for the RFQ is RFQ-CO-424341-Wi-IMA and all correspondence concerning the RFQ should include this reference. DESCRIPTION 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. U.S. firms can download a copy of the U.S. NCP 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, 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.
