Procurement of Server under UTF/ETH/118/ETH project

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations has issued a tender for a server, tied to a project identified as UTF/ETH/118/ETH, with Ethiopia listed as the country. The notice appears on the United Nations Global Marketplace as a procurement open to suppliers. It is relevant to vendors of server hardware who are able to contract with an international organisation operating in Ethiopia. The project code indicates the equipment is attached to a specific FAO country project rather than to general corporate information technology purchasing, but the notice gives no account of that project. What is missing is substantial: the notice does not state the technical specification of the server, the quantity required, the delivery point within Ethiopia, any installation, warranty or support obligation, the budget, or the documents and qualifications a bidder must submit in order to be considered.
