The vendor is required to submit a duty- and tax-free quote including shipping, registration fees, and warranty details. The vehicle is required to meet or exceed EU/Danish road worthiness requirements. The contract will be a firm fixed priced contract.
Note: US-made vehicles and Danish-made vehicles differ primarily in regulatory compliance and market preferences. US vehicles are built to meet American standards, which include specific lighting requirements such as amber turn signals and sealed-beam headlights, as well as odometers that measure in miles. In contrast, Danish vehicles adhere to European Union regulations, featuring E-marked lighting with rear fog lights and metric odometers in kilometers. Additionally, European emission standards for Danish cars are generally stricter, influencing engine design and fuel efficiency. Design and safety features may also differ to cater to local preferences and driving conditions in each market.
Offers are due by Thursday, September 4th, 2025 at 17:00 (local time).
