The Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organization(DALO) wishes to renew the contracts concerning the Military Combat Boot System which is the soldier’s primary footwear during daily training, exercise and work, but also during extended combat operations. The system consists of five primary boots divided into 5 lots, where this contract notice concerns LOT 4, Jungle Boot. The remaining boots (LOT 1-3 and 5) will be tendered by separate contract notices.

DALO intends to award a framework agreement to one supplier regarding purchases of Jungle Boots.

DALO is seeking specialized boots for equipping soldiers deployed to jungle/tropic/sub-tropic climates and environments. The Jungle Boot is intended to be used for operations in the following climate NATO zones (AECTP-23 – Climate conditions); Primary B1, B2 and B3. The primary terrain is mud, water and jungle. Key words for the boot’s functionality are draining of water, quick dry time (hydrophobicity),slip resistance on wet surfaces (such as logs, etc.).

The Jungle Boots must be able to withstand the use that normally occur during a mission, including the build-up phase. This corresponds to a minimum of 18 months of intensive use.
