NATO Business Opportunity: Custodial Services

Headquarters Supreme Allied Commander Transformation (HQ SACT) has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) to establish a contract for the provision of custodial services in support of HQ SACT and other eligible U.S. based NATO entities. U.S. prime contractors must 1) maintain a professionally active facility within the United States, 2) be approved for participation in NATO Competitive Procurement (NCP), 3) be issued a Declaration of Eligibility (DOE) by the U.S. Government, and 4) have performed similar contracts within the last three years, substantially similar in scope to the requirement described in the solicitation. In addition, contractor personnel performing services or providing delivery under the contract must be citizens of a NATO nation and have appropriate professional training and experience. Contractor companies must be eligible to conduct work on a U.S. military facility without base escort (DBIDs). In lieu of a bidder’s conference, HQ SACT requires bidders to attend a site survey that will be conducted on 19 August at 10:00AM at HQ SACT, 7857 Blandy Rd, Suite 100, Norfolk, VA, 23551. Notify the Contracting Officers listed in this RFP of those employees who are attending the site survey no later than 17 August 2026. Participation in the site survey is mandatory to participate in the RFP and submit a proposal. 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 - the name/phone/email of the company point of contact for the bid documents After approval of your one-time NCP application, DOC will then know to follow up by issuing a DOE for the contract. DOC will transmit the DOE to the NATO contracting agency.
