The purpose of this tender, is to set up a number of framework agreements to supply the Royal Danish Air Force (RDAF) with Chaff and Flares cartridges.

This will sustain the operations of flying platforms of the RDAF, namely the F-35 JSF, F-16 Fighting Falcon, C-130J cargo aircraft and EH101 Merlin and MH-60R Seahawk helicopters.

The Framework Agreements are divided into the following 6 lots:

1. Standard MTV Flares

2. Spectral Infrared (IR) Flares

3. Aerodynamic (Kinematic) Flares

4. Propelled Flares

5. Special Material Decoy (SMD) Flares

6. Chaff

The following minimum requirements will apply to the Chaff and Flares to be delivered under the Framework Agreements:

- All Chaffs and Flares offered must comply with STANAG 4687 or equivalent standard

- All Chaff and Flares offered must fit the ACMDS (Advanced Countermeasure Dispense System) and ALE 47 dispensing systems.

Procurement via the Framework Agreements will be via light tender procedures within each lot.

For a supplier on the specific lot of the Framework Agreement to qualify to be included in a light tender procedure, the supplier´s Chaff or Flares on that lot must have been Operationally Approved by DALO and the RDAF for the flying platform that is being tendered with the light tendering procedure.

In order for Chaff and Flares to be operationally approved for a specific platform, the following minimum requirement will apply:

They shall have been tested at:

- NATO trial series named EMBOW or at other similar trials such as the LOW RIDER, WELSH RIDER, or

- trials supervised by DALO & RDAF, or

- trials supervised by a third party within the NATO community

The F-35 JSF is being implemented in the RDAF and chaffs and flares are at this point being procured via FMS (Foreign Military Sales). There is not a set time-frame for when procurement for the F-35 will start-up on this framework agreement.

Conversely, the F-16 fighter will be phased out during this framework agreement, meaning that the procurement for this platform will lessen during this framework agreement.

The Descriptions for each Lot, will indicate which platforms will be tendered for it.
