Summary
The NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) intends to award a contract on a sole source basis to Rolls-Royce Solutions GmbH (Friedrichshafen, Germany, NCAGE D8266) for 42 diesel engines (ENGINE,DIESEL) for BOXER armoured vehicles. The item is NSN 2815124073810, part number XZ52300000090. Notice ID: 26LMS084. No estimated value is given. NSPA justifies the sole source approach because Rolls-Royce Solutions is the OEM and the only known manufacturer of the item. Companies that believe they can meet the requirement may submit evidence of demonstrated capability, such as proof of prior performance, to procurement72@nspa.nato.int and source-file@nspa.nato.int. The deadline is 10 calendar days after publication on 28 October 2026. The notice listing gives 9 November 2026 as the deadline. Late submissions will not be considered. NSPA will provide its written assessment within 15 calendar days of receiving a submission. If a firm considers the assessment erroneous, it may file a formal complaint within 5 calendar days of receiving it. The complaint goes to the Procurement Officer, with a copy to the NSPA Competition Advocate. Good-faith efforts at amicable resolution are required first. If the Competition Advocate rejects the complaint, it may be appealed to the NSPA Award Review and Debarment Board (ARDB), whose decision is final. NSPA Operating Instructions OI 4200-01, 4200-08 and 4200-09 and the ARDB Practice Direction contain further conditions that are not covered in this summary.
