The reason for the annulment of this tender, according to KSF officials, is because the American company has announced that it cannot start producing them specifically by next year.

KSF Information spokesperson Ibrahim Shala, in a proposal for Indexline, has announced that because this date exceeds 2017 fiscal year, they have been forced to interrupt the tender procedure, and our respective producers and institutions have been reported.

The procurement procedure for the purchase of HMF-type tactical vehicles has been halted, due to information received by the U.S. producer, that it is due to administrative procedures and export permits, the distribution of vehicles cannot do so before May 23, 2018. Because this date exceeds 2017 fiscal year, we've been forced to interrupt the tender procedure, and we have announced our current producer and institutions”, Shala has said.

He has stressed that the whole process has been realised in compliance with NATO advisers and local authorities.

The entire process has been realised in full compliance with the KSF minister, KSF commander, Secretary General and, according to the assessment Commission recommendations, which has been monitored throughout the course of two NATO advisers, procuration and logistics expert”, Shala has said.
