to building <strong>agile, responsive </strong>and <strong>accountable end-to-end solutions</strong> for our global partners.</p> <p>To support approximately <strong>75,000 personnel</strong> in UN Peacekeeping Missions, the UN is seeking companies to supply, store, manage, and deliver food rations and bottled water, and provide other services and equipment to UN troops at their deployed locations. The approximate UN annual spend for Food Rations is <strong>$300 million</strong>.</p> <p>The UN does <u>not</u> buy food directly from food manufacturers / suppliers. Instead, the UN contracts companies to provide turnkey services (the Contractor) including:</p> <ul> <li>sourcing approximately 500 different high-quality food items;</li> <li>warehousing;</li> <li>delivering rations to the end users;</li> <li>implementing opportunities for circular economy;</li> </ul> <p>The Contractor must ensure that the procured food meets the UN Rations Standards related to food quality and safety aspects.</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.un.org/Depts/ptd/sites/www.un.org.Depts.ptd/files/files/attachment/page/pdf/UN%20Food%20Rations%20Standards%20-%20Version%205.zip">UN Food Rations Standards (Version 5 – for contracts entered into after January 2025 only)</a></li> </ul> <p><img src="/Depts/ptd/sites/www.un.org.Depts.ptd/files/images/banner_rations_final.png" alt="Food Rations" title="Food Rations" width="275" height="417" style="float: left; margin: 6px;" /></p> <p>In some cases, Contractors are requested to rent or even build their own warehouses. They may also need to manage different food warehouses in the country where the mission is located.</p> <p>Food reserves must be stored and rotated in the warehouses. And, on a weekly or bi-weekly basis, food orders must be transported to the contingents' locations. The Contractor is also responsible for managing outbound operation from the warehouses to the final food delivery points. The Contractor has the discretion to subcontract this task to local transport companies or use their own trucks.</p> <p>Catering services to the mission’s personnel, mostly civilians, is an optional but desirable requirement. In some cases it may be provided within the same rations contract.</p> <p>Qualified suppliers should have expertise in complex logistics and demonstrate experience in deploying operations outside their home country, including in <strong>challenging environments</strong> impacted by <strong>security</strong> and/or <strong>climatic conditions</strong>.</p> <p>All rations contract operations must be supported by a suitable enterprise resource planning software that shall be integrated with the <strong>UN Electronic Rations Management System</strong>.</p> <p>The performance of our contractors is monitored on a consumption period basis (28 days) using pre-defined key performance indicators, including delivery time, final delivery completeness, number of food substitutions, quality and level of the reserve and operational stocks, and warehouse operations.</p> <p><strong><u>Who can apply?</u></strong></p> <p> If your company has expertise in complex logistics, has experience in deploying operations internationally, and holds a Food Safety Management Certification for quality assurance, we want to hear from you.</p> <p>Join us in our efforts and be part of a critical mission to support peacekeeping operations worldwide.</p> <p>A few steps to note:</p> <ol> <li>Register in the UNGM <a href="https://www.ungm.org/">Welcome to the United Nations Global Marketplace (UNGM)</a> -
