NATO Business Opportunity: Provision of Conveyance of Passengers in the Vicinity of Headquarters, Joint Force Command Brunssum

Joint Force Command Brunssum (JFC Brumssum) intends to issue an Invitation for International Bidding (IFB) for the provision of conveyance of passengers in the vicinity of its Headquarters, which is located in Brunssum, The Netherlands. U.S. prime contractors must 1) maintain a professionally active facility within the United States, 2) be approved for participation in NATO International Competitive Bidding (ICB), and 3) be issued a Declaration of Eligibility (DOE) by the U.S. Government. The reference for the IFIB is IFIB-ACO-BRU-23-06 and all correspondence regarding the IFIB should include this reference. The type of contract is Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ). SUMMARY OF REQUIREMENT The requirement is for the provision of coach services and the provision of taxi services. BECOMING ELIGIBLE TO BID NATO ICB requires that the U.S. Government issue a DOE on behalf of potential U.S. prime contractors interested in this contract. 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 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: http://www.bis.doc.gov/index.php/other-areas/strategic-industries-and-economic-security-sies/nato-related-business-opportunities The Department of Commerce (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 contract - the name/phone/FAX/email of the company point of contact for 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 contract.
