The RFQ includes three delivery categories: Category 1 - vehicle not present in Türkiye; Category 2 - vehicle in Türkiye in free circulation; and Category 3 - vehicle stocked at an approved Turkish sea port free-zone/bonded warehouse in Istanbul, Kocaeli, Izmir, or Mersin. Offerors must identify the offered delivery category, named point, delivery period, and firm-fixed price basis. The Embassy will not be conducting a pre-quotation conference.
