This procurement is implemented by Forsvaret ved Forsvarets logistikkorganisasjon [the Norwegian Armed Forces c/o the Norwegian Defence Logistics Organisation], with the intention of entering into a framework agreement for shooting range material. In this context, for consumables and spare parts for acoustic targets.
The contract has a duration of 4 years, with the option to extend 1 or more times for up to a further 3 years. The total duration is 7 years.
The Norwegian Armed Forces has used electronic rifle ranges delivered by SIUS AG since the middle of the 1980s. Currently, the Norwegian Armed Forces has 13 shooting ranges where this materiel is installed and firmly mounted. This accounts for about 265 shooting targets with monitors and control systems that need both spare parts and consumable materiel. The system is utilised to train military shooting skills. The cover the Norwegian Armed Forces’ need for shooting targets and other necessary consumable materiel related to SIUS AG shooting range systems (SA-9001 and SA-9002), the Norwegian Armed Forces will award the contract regarding “purchase of parts and services for target material type SIUS SA-9001/9002” to SIUS AG. This contract prior information notice is in accordance with FOSA § 9-2 as the contracting authority believes there is a legal basis to award the contract to SIUS AG without publishing the contract in accordance with § 9-3. We refer to FOSA § 5-3 letter c stating that the contracting authority can utilise a contest with negotiation without prior announcement where “for technical reasons or to protect an exclusive right, the service can only be performed by a specific supplier”.
Since the shooting range systems consist of a number of different components, including monitors, printers, data devices, distribution boxes, shooting targets, front targets, sensor star targets, target exchange systems and software, the shooting targets and consumables that will be delivered under the contract must be compatible with the existing system currently being used. Only the shooting targets and other consumables delivered by the existing supplier are compatible with this system. SIUS AG has the unilateral rights regarding the technical production basis for the system and required consumables. The terms in § 5-3 letter c are therefore met and the Norwegian Armed Forces therefore believes the contract can be awarded pursuant to SIUS AG.
