    The equipment will be part of Finnish rescEU stockpile that is part of EU Civil Protection mechanism (UCPM). In case of emergency, the stockpile would be activated and the devices would be sent to emergency area. The most probable end users would be first responders, security sector authorities (police, CBRN teams, defence forces) or rescue service personnel. Products will be procured in a total estimated quantity of approximately: - 12 – 18 pcs portable GC-MS devices (gas chromatograph mass spectrometer) - 240 – 360 pcs IMS devices (Wearable Chemical Detector and Warning Devices) The procurement is made using the open procedure (Section 32, Procurement Act) as an accelerated procedure (Section 57, Procurement Act) to enable procurement process before summer period and enable deliveries of devices already during 2024 as expected by funder of the rescEU project. More detailed background information and requirements for the devices are described elsewhere in the request for proposal and its attachments. COMPLIANCE ASSESSMENT OF THE DEVICES Before making the procurement decision, NESA may carry out a compliance assessment. All tenderers shall deliver devices with necessary accessories for the possible compliance assessment. In the compliance assessment, NESA may also use external experts and organizations from the public sector. The assessment may include testing with e.g. TIC and CWA substances in laboratory or field environments. The devices will be returned to the tenderer after the procurement decision, unless otherwise agreed. IMS devices: The devices may be delivered immediately, but no later than 7 business days after the submission deadline for bids. The devices (2 pcs with necessary accessories) for compliance assessment shall be sent to: Huoltovarmuuskeskus (National Emergency Supply Agency) / Vesa Kirjavainen, Aleksanterinkatu 48 A / 7.krs, FI-00100 Helsinki, Finland GS-MS devices: Upon customers request, the tenderer shall deliver one GC-MS device for compliance assessment.
