The PTS has requested that each Member State identify potential companies interested in supplying such equipment. Upon receipt of names of interested companies, the PTS will send requsted for tender (AFT) to any of the suppliers who respond by September 11, 1995. Because this information could be considered commercially sensitive, all responses will be classified as confidential by the PTS and will be treated accordingly. Interested companies must answer a questionnaire providing company and product information and return it to the PTS in The Hague, The Netherlands by September 11. Packages containing the questionnaire and specific information about equipment needed by the PTS can be obtained by contracting Mary Fannin (202) 647-8018; FAX (202) 647-8333.
