The NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA) intends to issue a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for the procurement of a state-of-the-art cyber threat analysis platform as well as services to implement the platform. The contractor must build an updated and effective solution to receive existing commercial and specific internal feeds, perform the analysis and processing, and integrate to other existing cyber security systems to allow timely, accurate, and effective use of the intelligence. 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 In addition, contractor personnel will be required to work unescorted in Class II Security areas. Therefore, access can only be permitted to cleared individuals. Only companies maintaining the appropriate personnel clearances will be able to perform the resulting contract. Implementation of the technical solution is also required on high side (NS). The reference for the RFQ is RFQ-CO-424281-CTI and all correspondence concerning the RFQ should include this reference. Competition Type: BOA+ Lowest Priced Technically Compliant SUMMARY OF REQUIREMENTS Please see attached. These requirements are being refined and will be included in further details as part of the RFQ. 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. DOC will transmit the DOE to the NATO contracting agency.
