It is specified that the deadline for the submission of tenders is 30/09/2026 at 11:30 (Paris time). Those listed in section 5.1.12 are in UTC format. This is a single-supplier framework agreement for defence or security with call-offs, non-lot. It is specified that the term "contract" refers to the framework agreement project in this document. The estimated quantity of materials to be ordered at the notification of the framework agreement project is as follows, without any commitment on the part of the State: 4 700 flight helmets; 1 100 ballistic maxillofacial masks; 900 non-ballistic maxillofacial masks; 1 600 ballistic helmet protections; and the associated support. The maximum estimated quantity of materials to be ordered during the validity period of the framework agreement project, without any commitment on the part of the State, is: 6 000 flight helmets with their optional equipment and the associated support. The present framework agreement project is subject to a negotiated procedure. Only candidates selected after the examination of the applications will receive the Tender Documents (Dossier de Consultation des Entreprises) in a second step. Candidates must specify whether they are applying individually or as part of a group. Candidates are not allowed to submit multiple offers for the framework agreement by acting simultaneously: 1. as individual candidates and as members of one or more groups; 2. as members of several groups. The composition of the groups may be modified, and new groups may be formed between the submission of applications and the submission of initial tenders if all the members of the new group, presented at the tender stage, have been authorized at the application stage to submit a tender or to participate in it, at least as an accepted subcontractor in the application phase. The newly formed group must meet the requirements relating to the capacities of the candidates. Furthermore, the provisions of Articles R2342-12 and R2342-14 of the CCP (Code de la Commande Publique) apply. Signature of documents: Documents contained in the application file requiring a signature must be signed by a person authorized to commit the company (with the name, first name, and title of the signatory, and with the company stamp). If the signatory of the documents does not appear in the public information via the SIREN number or the equivalent document for candidates established abroad, any document attesting to the signatory's capacity to commit the company. With regard to electronic files, a signed zip does not count as a signature of the documents it contains. Each document for which a signature is required must be signed electronically and separately by a person authorized to commit the company (cf. 'Modalities de transmission des plis précité en rubrique 2.1.4). All members of the group must opt for the same signature format (handwritten or electronic) without the possibility of mixing the two types of signatures. The provision of all the elements/documents listed in sections 2.1.6, 5.1.9, 5.1.12 is essential, on pain of rejection of the economic operator's application. Documents submitted in support of applications in a language other than French must be accompanied by a translation into French. Only the French version is authentic. In accordance with Article R 2342-7 of the CCP, this procedure is not open to economic operators from third countries to the European Union or the European Economic Area. The procedure remains open to subcontractors (subcontractors or subcontractors not having the character of a subcontractor) from third countries.
