Description

Auto-translated from da

Due to the security policy situation in the Arctic, FMI needs to procure 20 cooling trays with associated power units for MIDS JTRS radios to support the Link 16 capability. A cooling tray is a mounting unit in which the MIDS JTRS radio is installed, ensuring cooling of the equipment during operation. MIDS JTRS is the basic component of the Link 16 system, enabling the exchange of tactical data between ships, aircraft, and helicopters in real-time. The situation is assessed as an operational emergency and crucial for ensuring Danish sovereignty and presence in the Arctic. Functional cooling trays with associated power units are essential for the Link 16 capability on vessels operating in the Arctic. Without functional Link 16 systems, the vessels risk a significantly reduced operational capacity, which in the current security policy situation constitutes an unacceptable operational risk. Thus, this is a procurement of an operationally critical nature. The emergency situation resulting from the security policy situation in the Arctic therefore necessitates that the Defence places an order with a company that can deliver the necessary equipment as quickly as possible, as delivery time is crucial for ensuring operational capacity. The procurement of the 20 cooling trays (incl. accessories) is limited to the necessary requirement, and it is assessed that compliance with ordinary tendering procedures risks leading to a further postponement of the delivery time and thus a worsening of the operational situation. FMI has therefore entered into a contract with Precision Technic Defence A/S, CVR no. 79218928 ("Precision Technic Defence") for the delivery of 20 purpose-built cooling trays with associated power units as quickly as possible in order to ensure the Link 16 capability on vessels in the Arctic. FMI assesses that there is no reasonable alternative and that the direct award is based on Article 28, paragraph 1, letter c of the Defence and Security Directive. The contract was not concluded before the expiry of 10 calendar days calculated from the day after the day on which notice no. 489321-2026 was published.
