NATO Request for Information: Next Gen Workplace Design Concept

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.
