Armscor as a conduit for SADI products to the UN Armscor as a conduit for SADI products to the UN Armscor responded to a UN RFI for Uniforms. > 80% of the RFI could be serviced by SADI SMMEs. SMME would not be able to respond to the RFI on their own due to scope. Armscor as a strategic supplier to the UN: Consolidation of SADI products, especially SMME with addition value add such as QA, Example: Armscor as a conduit for SADI products to the UN Armscor responded to a UN RFI for Uniforms. If Individual companies would respond to the RFI on their own, it would result in a piece-meal response. Armscor as an intermediary combined supply base which resulted in > 80% of the RFI capability provided by SADI SMMEs. Armscor as intermediary: enable small suppliers to participate, otherwise excluded or limited chances of success due to the scale of supply required – Note NOT mandatory Based on Armscor’s capabilities and mandate, UN could be approached to consider government level participation in UN work i.e. Armscor act as a strategic supplier for certain goods and services especially those used by own forces.
