These truckis are required in support of UN Peacekeeping Missions worldwide as may also be used in support of other UN Seccretariat entities as well as UN Agencies, Funds and Programmes (AFPs). 2. The large majority of vehicles that will be required by the UN are left-hand drive configuration, fitted with a diesel engine that is compliant with European emission standards up to Euro 3 (or equivalent) that can operate with diesel fuel that has a high sulphur content, however right-hand drive vehicles are also required. 3. The requirement is broken down into the following: (a) Truck Rigid Cab/Chassis fitted with diesel engines intended for service in the harshest environments. Payload should allow it to be used as the basis for water tanker, refrigerated van, recovery track, vacuum sewage, garbage compactor, cargo/troop carrier, cargo with crane, fuel tanker, aviation fuel, dump truck, PLS and modules and fire domestic, provided in 4x2, 4x4, 6x4 and 6x6 axle configurations with payload between 7-20 tons.

However, should the manufacturer appoint a third party (normally a distributor or dealer) to respond to the solicitation and/or to enter into a contract with the UN, it is mandatory that: i. such authorized agent has an adequate support structure, evidenced by dedicated resources, and experience in the provision of vehicles and after sales support services; and ii. any resulting contract will be co-signed by the manufacturer. A vendor who is not a manufacturer or trading subsidiary and who wants to respond to the solicitation shall provide evidence that the manufacturer authorizes [the vendor] to participate in the soliciation and also agrees to co-sign any resulting contract(s). 6. Further to Paragraph 5 above, vehicle manufacturers may propose only one third-party representative who is able to fulfill multiple orders from, and provide adequate after-sales support services to, several UN Entities worldwide. 7.
