Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organization

Through purchase under a Framework Agreement, the Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organization (DALO) is planning to purchase 7,62mm Light Machine Guns (LMG), accessories and spare parts.
It is the intention that the Framework shall encompass such purchase possibilities as:
LMG's, accessories, spare parts, logistic support, operator and maintainer training.
An expected total of approximately 700 LMG in the duration of the Agreement, with an initial supply of 40 LMG in 3rd quarter of 2013 is foreseen.
The primary user of the LMG is the dismounted soldier. The LMG shall function from an open-bolt principle and be belt fed, the overall length in the shortest configuration must be less than 105 cm. , and it must beequipped with a mounting bracket/interface for ammunition.. A maximum of 10 kg with good weight distribution for ease of handling and carrying is expected . Therefore, a low weight will be given a high score in the evaluation.
The LMG shall be designed to allow mounting of standard equipment for a combat soldier, e.g. sights and sensors, using NATO Accessory Rails, STANAG 4694 or equivalent, and shall be qualified for the use of NATO Qualified ammunition.
For testing purpose a minimum of 6 LMG, accessories and technical support shall be available within the period 18.3.2013 to 1.4.2013.
Denmark expects to make this Framework Agreement available to other NATO countries that may lead to a further procurement of an additional number that would be purchased by DALO on behalf of this country.
