Invitation For Bid (IFB)

An Invitation For Bid (IFB) is a type of solicitation issued to companies that have obtained a Declaration of Eligibility from their National Authority. It serves as a formal request from the NCI Agency to submit bids for specific products or services based on specified requirements. IFBs are issued by the NCI Agency when conducting formal procurements using the International Competitive Bidding (ICB) procurement method.
