Commodity and cargo inspection services for The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)

Item Description:

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) intends to enter into a Long Term Agreement (LTA) with the company providing the best value for the money for inspection services. An LTA is a written agreement between the selected supplier and FAO that is established for specific goods or services at prescribed prices or pricing provisions for up to five years, against which specific orders can be placed at any time during the defined period and with no legal obligation to order any minimum or maximum quantity.

FAO intends the resulting LTAs to be used across FAO’s offices worldwide, and may be used by other UN Agencies, Funds or Programmes requiring the services.

FAO has divided the required services into lots, according to the nature of the goods and services:

Lot 1. Inspection and analysis of seeds.
Lot 2. Inspection of consignments of plants, plant products and animal feed.
Lot 3. Inspection of fertilizers.
Lot 4. Inspection of vaccines, pharmaceutical products and diagnostic reagents for veterinary use.
Lot 5. Inspection of hand tools, machinery and other discrete items.
