The purpose of using the same specifications as ICRC/IFRC is to promote harmonization between agencies
and distribution sites, as well as to ensure that agencies can push with a collective voice for consistent quality
with suppliers.
Without these detailed specifications and accompanying quality control processes, it is very difficult to
ensure that shipments meet the standards agreed when supply contracts were established, or to resolve any
disputes in the case of poor quality shipments.
Some items such as family tents should not be procured to any other specifications unless clear justification
is given based on appropriate national standards, and clear relationships with suppliers established. Failure to
do so may well result in procurements that do not meet basic humanitarian needs, significant quality issues
and challenges at distribution sites. Similarly, if any of the below mentioned items will be procured beyond
IOM's or the National (cluster) standards, field missions are requested to consult from thematic experts
before any purchase.
Additional guidance on quality control is available by contacting the Shelter Support team and the Manila
Supply Chain Unit (MSCU).
