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. DOC will transmit the DOE to the NATO contracting agency.
