About this opportunity
The Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security has published a Special Notice on behalf of NATO's Headquarters Supreme Allied Command Transformation (HQ SACT) for a Request for Information (RFI) focused on next-generation workplace design concepts. The RFI seeks input from potential vendors regarding modernization strategies for creating a more collaborative and technologically advanced work environment. Specifically, HQ SACT is looking to gather best-practice guidance on redesigning workplace spaces with human-centered, flexible solutions that conform to U.S. Department of Defense regulatory requirements. This RFI is an exploratory initiative and does not constitute a formal Request for Proposal (RFP) at this time. The agency's goal is to develop a comprehensive renovation and modernization plan that may potentially lead to a future National Competitive Bid (NCB) solicitation.
Contractors interested in participating must adhere to specific guidelines and deadlines, with questions due by 5:00 pm EST on February 14, 2025, and complete RFI responses required by 5:00 pm EST on March 3, 2025. Eligibility is limited to companies from NATO Nations with U.S. DOD accreditation, and respondents must include this certification in their submission. The RFI seeks detailed information on redesign approaches, rough order of magnitude cost estimates, and infrastructure impact assessments, with a focus on creating collaborative workspaces that can accommodate an expanding workforce. Participants should be aware that HQ SACT will not reimburse any costs associated with preparing and submitting RFI responses, and this process does not guarantee a future contract. The information gathered will be used to inform potential development of a pilot project redesign and to create a bidders list for a potential future competitive solicitation. All correspondence must reference the RFI reference number RFI-ACT-SACT-25-13 and include both contracting and technical points of contact.
Notice text
Headquarters Supreme Allied Command Transformation (HQ SACT) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to seek input on design (redesign) solutions that will modernize the workplace with human-centered, flexible, and tech-enabled solutions while conforming to U.S. DOD regulatory requirements. The RFI intends to solicit best-practice guidance on the following:
• Redesign approaches for a modern and collaborative working environment
• ROM costs and effort estimates, and
• Infrastructure impacts (i.e., electrical and engineering requirements)
This is an RFI only. This RFI does NOT constitute a current RFP (Request for Proposal) nor does HQ SACT offer a firm commitment to issue a future RFP.
The information gathered from this RFI will be used to develop a renovation and modernization plan for consideration by NATO stakeholders and, if approved, to inform the development of a detailed National Competitive Bid (NCB) RFP, which will include specific requirements and evaluation criteria for vendors to submit formal proposals.
Following this RFI, HQ SACT may issue an NCB/RFP for the development of a pilot project re-design and implementation to test how the design meets HQ SACT’s needs. This RFI shall serve as the basis for developing a bidders list in the event of an NCB/RFP release. Consequently, respondents are asked to include certification of U.S. DOD-Accreditation in their response. HQ SACT is not seeking proposals at this time; therefore, HQ SACT will not accept unsolicited proposals in respect to this RFI.
Respondents are advised that HQ SACT will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in responding to this RFI. The costs for responding to this RFI shall be borne solely by the responding party.
Do NOT submit your RFI questions/responses to the Department of Commerce. All requests for clarifications, questions, and responses to this RFI must be sent via email to all Points of Contact indicated in the RFI. Individual emails will not be accepted and should not be sent. Contracting and Technical POCs must be included in any correspondence.
HQ SACT’s reference for this RFI is RFI-ACT-SACT-25-13 and all correspondence and submissions concerning this matter should reference this number.
Due date for questions: 5:00 pm EST 14 February 2025
Due date for submission of RFI responses: 5:00 pm EST 03 March 2025
Your participation in this RFI is greatly appreciated.
