International Competitive Bidding (ICB)

International Competitive Bidding (ICB) is the type of procurement method used within the NCI Agency under formal bidding for acquiring goods and services. ICB using lowest compliant bid evaluation methodology is the default method for procuring of requirements. ICB using Best Value bid evaluation methodology is reserved for more complex project work where the development of Invitation For Bids (IFBs) and the preparation and evaluation of bids is more complex and requires more time and resources.
