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.

1. Full legal name and street address of facility.

2. Facility's Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code.

3. Indicate the Department of Defense (DOD) Facility Security Clearance (FCL) level or N/A. The lack of a DOD FCL 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 of recent contracts performed as a prime contractor .

6. Attach a current annual report or 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.
