Notices for Companies and Delegations

The Office of the Iraq Programme (OIP) has been conducting review of its files and has found a number of approved and funded contracts that appear to be over 95 per cent delivered i.e. have very small outstanding balances to be delivered to Iraq, according to the OIP database. Such contracts are listed in the attached table. It is likely that in most of these cases the goods have been either fully delivered or shipment of the remaining balances is not a feasible option.

Only if your contract is listed in the attached table and you would be interested in shipping the remaining small balance, please send an e-mail to the following address mocibob@un.org ,stating your readiness to ship the remaining goods and your contact details (e-mail, fax, phone). Please also include a list of outstanding goods. Your response is not a guarantee that your contract will be prioritized, as all responses will be further reviewed by the United Nations, in consultation with the Authority in Iraq, in view of the existing needs in Iraq and may be considered for prioritization under paragraph 16 of resolution 1483 (2003). However, due to the imminent closure of the Programme, your e-mails must be received as soon as possible but not later than Saturday, 18 October 2003, midnight NYC time. Any e-mails received after that date will be disregarded.

IMPORTANT: If you consider all the goods under any of these contracts fully delivered or you are otherwise uninterested in shipping the remaining goods, please DO NOT send any messages to the e-mail indicated above. Similarly, please DO NOT send any other messages concerning prioritization of contracts or any other issues related to the Office of Iraq Programme to the e-mail address above as they will be disregarded and no action will be taken on them.

The Office of the Iraq Programme regrets that it is not in a position to accept any direct queries from suppliers at this stage. All queries related to implementation of resolution 1472 (2003) should be directed through the relevant permanent mission. The suppliers and permanent missions are also advised to periodically check the Office of the Iraq Programme web-site www.un.org/Depts/oip for further updates.
