Scope
The NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA) intends to issue an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the procurement, assembly, integration, and installation of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware, and site adaptation for the project “Acquisition and Installation of Link 22 Tactical Data Link (TDL) Test Capability at NATO Sensors and Weapons Accuracy Check Ranges (SWACR)”.
This project will replace the Link 11 test string that will become obsolete with the sunset of Link 11, at the 3 Test Ranges in the United States of America (1 site), Greece (1 site), and Norway (1 site).
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 International Competitive Bidding (ICB), 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, execution of the proposed contract will require unescorted access and work of contractor personnel at NATO Class II security areas.
Therefore, personnel of the winning bidder will be required to hold individual security clearances at the level of SECRET.
Only companies maintaining appropriate personnel clearances will be able to perform the resulting contract.
The contract award will not be delayed so that contractor personnel may obtain missing clearances.
NCIA plans to issue an IFB using the ICB Procedure for Lowest Priced Technically Compliant (LPTC) evaluations.
A single, firm-fixed price contract is planned for the entire scope of work.
The reference for the IFB is IFB-CO-423300-SSSB and all correspondence concerning the IFB should include this reference.

How to bid on this
This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.
- Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
- Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
- This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
- Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
