ARMS CONTROL AND DISARMAMENT AGENCY

 

Request for Companies Interested in Bidding for Contracts to 
Supply Inspection Equipment for Evaluation and Use in Training of 
Inspectors of the Technical Secretariat of the Organization for the 
Prohibition of Chemical Weapons

AGENCY: United States Arms Control and Disarmament Agency (ACDA).

ACTION: Companies interested in bidding for contracts to supply 
inspection equipment for evaluation and use in training of inspectors 
to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons Provisional 
Technical Secretariat in The Hague, The Netherlands.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Government has been notified that the Provisional 
Technical Secretariat (PTS), predecessor to the Technical Secretariat 
of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), a 
new international organization created by the Chemical Weapons 
Convention, is beginning the process of procuring inspection equipment 
for the evaluation and use in training of inspectors. The PTS has 
requested that by October 1, 1994, each Member State identify companies 
interested in bidding for contracts to provide such equipment. Upon 
receipt of names of interested companies, the PTS will compile an 
initial tender list for each type of equipment.
    Because this information could be considered commercially 
sensitive, all responses will be classified as confidential by the PTS 
and will be treated accordingly. Only the names and addresses of 
interested companies will be made available to Member States.
    Interested companies must answer a questionnaire providing company 
and production information and return it to the PTS in The Hague, The 
Netherlands, by October 1, 1994. Packages containing the questionnaire 
and specific information about equipment needed by the PTS can be 
obtained by contacting ACDA at the address below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Interested companies should contact Mary Fannin (202) 647-8018 or 
Jennifer Inman (202) 647-6465, FAX: (202) 647-7663, at the U.S. Arms 
Control and Disarmament Agency, 320 21st Street NW., Washington, DC 
20451.
