Supply and Delivery of Rapid Intervention Vehicles, Spare Parts and Ancillary Services

The UN Procurement Division is seeking expressions of interest from qualified manufacturers or their authorized agents for the supply and delivery of three types of Rapid Intervention Vehicles (i.e. for aircraft rescue to meet ICAO’s Aerodome Category 3 and Category 5 requirements, as well as trailer-mounted compressed air foam system) including the provision of spare parts and ancillary services to the United Nations Field Missions in the Middle East, Africa, the Caribbean and Europe. Vendors may supply any or all of the three types of requirements.

2. The UN expects the successful vendor to supply brand new RIVs, including after-sales support services (e.g. spare parts, warranty, tools, training, etc.) throughout the whole life cycle of the vehicles. The resulting contract(s) will be on “as and when” required basis, and will be for an initial period of three (3) years with option to extend at the UN’s discretion for two (2) additional periods of one (1) year each.

3. Please note that this Request for Expression of Interest is not for refurbished vehicles, and neither is it for traders, brokers, or grey market dealers.

4. It is the United Nations preference to enter into a contract(s) with vehicle and/or equipment manufacturers. However, should the manufacturer appoint a third party to respond to the solicitation and/or to enter into a contract with the UN, any resulting contract must be co-signed by the manufacturer. Similarly, should a vendor who is not a manufacturer want to respond to the solicitation, such vendor shall provide evidence that the manufacture agrees to co-sign any resulting contract(s).

5. Further to Paragraph 4 above, vehicle and/or equipment manufacturers may propose only one third party representative who is able to fulfill multiple orders from several UN field missions and UN Entities worldwide, the majority being in Africa, Middle East, and Asia.
