In your specifications, you omitted the most important Night Vision tube parameter, which is Image Intensifier Tube Signal/Noise (S/N) ratio.

Figure of Merit (FOM) number of II tubes (FOM = Resolution x S/N ratio) is the other very important parameter which you omitted. We strongly recommend it to be over 1650UNOPS Reply: FOM should be minimum 1700. However, bidders can submit bids with higher specs. 6.  You indicated 400 binoculars and 500 harnesses. Typically the number of binoculars and harnesses are matching. Please verify and confirm the required numbers.UNOPS Reply: Required number of harnesses should be 400 instead of 500. 7. You expressly requested product made by "L-3" (USA). Restricting supply to only 1 manufacturer means there will be no real competition. Besides L3, there are several other excellent manufacturers, making comparable or better product. That includes ITT (USA), Hamamatsu (Japan), Photonis (France) etc. Please confirm that you will accept any manufacturer, who can meet the required quality.  The equipment requested is subject to Export Licence approval and the delivery date of end June may not be viable.
