1. Full legal name and street address of facility.

2. Facility's Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code.

3. Indicate the Department of Defense (DOD) Facility Security Clearance (FCL) level or N/A. The lack of a DOD FCL does not disqualify a company from bidding on unclassified NATO contracts.

4. Complete if parent company is located outside the U.S.

5. Attach a company resume of recent contracts performed as a prime contractor .

6. Attach a current annual report or set of financial documents indicating audit, review, or compilation by an independent CPA. If an annual report is not prepared by a subsidiary, the annual report for the parent company may be submitted instead.
