BIS-4023P NATO International Competitive Bidding (ICB) Application

BIS-4023P INSTRUCTIONS
To participate in NATO International Competitive Bidding (ICB),
U.S. firms must be approved by the U.S. Department of Commerce.
Firms should submit an application for each facility (i.e., main
office, branch, subsidiary, etc.) to be considered for NATO ICB.
If there is a change in the corporate status of an approved firm,
(e.g., merger, acquisition, reorganization), a new application
should be submitted.
The following instructions correspond to the numbered format of
the BIS-4023P:
1. Full legal name and street address of facility.
2. Facility's Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code.
3. Indicate the Defense Investigative Service (DIS) clearance
level or N/A. The lack of a DIS clearance does not disqualify a
company from bidding on unclassified NATO contracts.
4. Complete if parent company is located outside the U.S.
5. Attach a company resume that includes a description of recent
technical contracts, with reference to work performed for U.S.
and foreign governments.
6. Attach a current annual report/set of financial documents
indicating audit, review, or compilation by an independent CPA.
If an annual report is not prepared by a subsidiary, the annual
report for the parent company may be submitted instead.
7. Identify the North American Industry Classification System
(NAICS) codes for the goods/services provided by the facility.
Some frequently used NAICS codes are provided at the end of this
form. If other NAICS codes apply, refer to the NAICS website:
