UNICEF Kit Box – Request for Information and expression of interest This Request for Information and Expression of interest is for suppliers interested in providing products that correspond to the UNICEF Kit Box Target Product Profile (TPP). UNICEF's emergency kits are vital tools in delivering life-saving aid to children and families affected by natural disasters, conflicts, and other humanitarian crises. These kits contain essential supplies such as medical materials, hygiene items, educational tools, and nutritional supplements, designed to meet the immediate needs of vulnerable populations. The attached UNICEF Kit Box TPP outlines the critical specifications and performance requirements for the UNICEF Kit Box, a container for emergency education, ECD and recreational kits. The kit box securely stores and transports essential supplies in various emergency settings, ensuring durability, portability, and environmental sustainability. The table accompanying this introduction details both the acceptable and ideal performance criteria for the kit box, including factors such as price, weight, materials, structural integrity, and special features like lock mechanisms, stackability, and ergonomic design. Key considerations focus on ensuring that the box is lightweight, durable, and made from partially or fully recycled materials, while being capable of enduring harsh environments and maintaining its functionality during transport and storage. This TPP serves as a comprehensive guide for manufacturers to meet UNICEF's needs in providing reliable and efficient storage solutions for education, ECD and recreational kits during emergency response operations.   Expression of Interest If you can provide a product that corresponds to this Target Product Profile, kindly express your interests by filling out the request for information / survey in this announcement and share any accompanying documents with UNICEF at [email protected] The survey link can be found in the "Useful links" document attached to this announcement.
