The project, initiated by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), aims to identify and assess potential suppliers capable of providing laying hens (pullets) aged 4.5–5.5 months for distribution to beneficiaries in Ukraine. This is part of a market survey and request for information (RFI) process, not a tender, to gather data on the availability, quality, and logistics capacity of vendors. 🎯 Key Objectives: 1. Collect market intelligence on suppliers of pullets. 2. Evaluate technical compliance with FAO’s animal welfare, health, and transport standards. 3. Assess operational and logistical capacity of vendors to deliver pullets directly to beneficiaries. 4. Prepare for a potential future tender based on the findings of this RFI. 📌 Scope Includes: 1. Pullets must meet specific technical specifications (e.g., age, weight, health, vaccination). 2. Vendors must demonstrate capacity for transport, storage, and reserve stock. 3. Submissions must include company profile, technical compliance, operational capacity, and price ranges (not final offers). 📅 Deadline for Submissions: 21 July 2025, 23:59 Kyiv time All inquiries and submissions must be made exclusively through the following authorized channels: 📧 Email: • [email protected] Important: All emails should include the subject line: "Request for Information (RFI) for Provision of Laying Hens / Pullets (4.5 – 5.5- months old)” This initiative supports FAO’s broader efforts to enhance food security and rural livelihoods by strengthening smallholder poultry production in Ukraine.
