The NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA) has released a Special Notice, identified as RFI-07178-SCIF, seeking industry input regarding the construction of a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) at the NATO Secret level. This facility is to be established within an existing building located in a war zone country, with the place of performance specified as Belgium (country code: BEL). The primary purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to identify qualified vendors and gather insights on potential solutions that can support the upcoming acquisition for this critical infrastructure.
The envisioned SCIF will serve as a secure environment designed to host digital workspace collaboration equipment and a robust network infrastructure. The facility must enable interoperability between various NATO platforms, ensuring seamless and secure communication and collaboration among NATO personnel and systems. The scope of the project includes commercial and institutional building construction, as classified under NAICS Code 236220 (2022 version), and is focused on adapting an existing structure to meet stringent security and operational requirements.
This RFI is issued strictly for planning purposes and does not constitute a solicitation for bids or proposals. NCIA aims to use the feedback received to better understand the marketplace, assess available capabilities, and inform potential acquisition strategies for the SCIF project. Interested industry partners are encouraged to review the attached RFI document for submission instructions and additional details. It is important to note that responses should not be sent to the U.S. Department of Commerce; all correspondence must reference the NCIA RFI number (RFI-07178-SCIF).
The contracting entity overseeing this notice is the Bureau of Industry and Security, a federal agency within the U.S. Department of Commerce. The notice remains active, with a response deadline set for 12 June 2026 at 12:00 hours Central European Time (CET). Contractors evaluating this opportunity should consider their experience in secure facility construction, digital infrastructure integration, and compliance with NATO security standards. Participation in this RFI will contribute to shaping the requirements and acquisition approach for a facility that is vital to NATO’s operational security and collaboration capabilities.
