SUMMARY OF REQUIREMENT
Please see attached.
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.

The service will provide an initial level of operational cloud capability to priority Communities of Interest (COIs). Performance is scheduled to take place in Norfolk, VA, under NAICS 541519, Other Computer Related Services.

Furthermore, the U.S. Government must issue a Declaration of Eligibility (DOE) for the prime contractor. All proposed team members, including partners and subcontractors, are required to hold a NATO or National SECRET clearance at the time of proposal submission.
The response deadline for U.S. firms to request a DOE and submit NCP applications is May 13, 2026.
