Description
The NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA) intends to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the provision of Imagery Exploitation and Visualization Tools. Potential U.S. prime contractors must 1) maintain a professionally active facility (office, factory, laboratory, etc.) within the United States, 2) hold a current Facility Security Clearance (FCL) at the level of SECRET or higher, 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 the NCI Agency’s eProcurement tool, Neo: https://www.ncia.nato.int/business/neo-eprocurement.html The reference for the RFP is RFP-424252-IMINT, and all correspondence concerning the RFP should include this reference. SUMMARY OF REQUIREMENT Through its upcoming procurement, NATO will provide analysts with Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) software tools to optimize imagery processing, exploitation, and dissemination in support of producing Imagery Intelligence (IMINT). This capability will directly strengthen operational planning and strategic decision-making. Beyond phased software testing, integration and accreditation, and deployment at key NATO sites, the initiative focuses heavily on user enablement through comprehensive training and structured knowledge transfer. The long-term lifecycle strategy includes continuous operations and maintenance, sustained across the capability lifecycle; coupled with interoperability to seamlessly integrate the new capability with NATO’s existing enterprise systems. 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 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): 25 November 2026 NCIA releases RFP (planned): 01 December 2026 Bid closing (anticipated): 02 February 2027 Contract Award (estimated): 31 May 2027
