Helmet liner and Caps.

The Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organization (DALO) has a need for supply of helmet liners and caps that can fulfill the Danish soldiers' needs. The tender consists of two lots. Tenderers can bid on one or both of the lots.

There is a need for the soldiers to acquire helmet liners in order to keep warm with or without their helmet. DALO expects to place orders several times a year of approximately 2000 helmet liners per purchase order. This should not be taken as a commitment from DALO's side but as an indication of the expected delivery volumes.

The cap will provide the soldiers with proper protection from bright light from the sun and at the same time cover their scalp from getting cold. DALO expects to place orders several times a year of approximately 2000 caps per purchase order. This should not be taken as a commitment from DALO's side but as an indication of the expected delivery volumes.

Helmet Liner

This lot 1 is about acquisition of helmet liners to wear underneath their helmet. When soldiers are wearing the helmet, the construction of helmet will contribute to increase wind circulation around the head. This is preferable when it is hot but contributes to undesirable chilling of the head when it is cold and for example when the soldiers are driving in an open vehicle or are stationary and have a need for a head liner to keep warm together with and without their helmet. There is a need for the soldier to acquire helmet liners in order to keep warm with or without their helmet. Further information can be found in VI.3 ‘additional information’ and ‘additional information to contract notice’.

The Agreement is entered into by DALO. However, all divisions of the Danish Ministry of Defence, including all divisions of the Danish Defence subject to the command of the Chief of Defence is entitled to use the Agreement.

The cap will provide the soldiers with proper protection from bright light from the sun and at the same time cover their scalp from getting cold. Further information can be found in VI.3 ‘additional information’ and ‘additional information to contract notice’.

The Agreement is entered into by DALO. However, all divisions of the Danish Ministry of Defence, including all divisions of the Danish Defence subject to the command of the Chief of Defence is entitled to use the Agreement.
