AI Contract Overview
The contract seeks industry support to develop innovative visualization, user interface and experience, and gamified interaction solutions for NATO Cyberspace Warfare Development, with a primary focus on Cyberspace Situational Awareness products including the Recognized Cyber Picture and Cyber Adversarial Picture, and potentially expanding to Cyber Command and Control workflows. The objective is to deliver a phased, standalone, runnable game package capable of replaying the generation, validation, and dissemination of these products to support workshops, experimentation, and operational exercises. The work is structured in four phases: a base period delivering a UI/UX concept package with wireframes and design rationale, followed by three optional phases that progressively develop a fully functional, isolated-network-ready playable game for Cyberspace Situational Awareness and, if exercised, a concept package for Cyber Command and Control with a path to future game development. All deliverables must be designed for use within NATO’s secure environments without external dependencies. The contract is a fixed-price award with an estimated total value of $350,000 inclusive of all options. The base period runs from the anticipated award date of 31 August 2026 through 11 December 2026, with three optional periods totaling approximately 28 weeks. Participation is restricted to vendors from NATO member nations, and U.S. prime contractors must meet strict eligibility criteria: maintaining a professionally active facility in the United States, being approved for NATO Competitive Procurement through a one-time application that includes a company resume and independently audited financial statements, and receiving a Declaration of Eligibility from the U.S. Government. The Declaration of Eligibility must be submitted by 22 June 2026, and U.S. firms must complete their NCP application and request DOE by 18 June 2026. All proposals must be submitted in English, reference RFP-ACT-SACT-26-65, and demonstrate proven experience in military-oriented data visualization, sophisticated war gaming with multi-role players and automated injects, and prior game development for defense organizations. The place of performance is Norfolk, Virginia, and award will follow a sealed bidding procedure under NATO procurement policy.

BECOMING ELIGIBLE TO BID
NCP 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 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 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
The Department of Commerce (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 contract
