Emergency Relief Items Catalogue

Last updated: 25 Sep 2023

Overview

The IOM Emergency Relief Items Catalogue contains detailed specifications of the most commonly procured non-food items. These specifications allow comparison between suppliers, convergence of items with other major humanitarian responders, and testing for quality control. They also enable suppliers to understand IOM's expectations in terms of items delivered. Unless otherwise stated, and apart from branding considerations, the specifications are as per the ICRC/IFRC catalogue. Each of the specifications has an accompanying material code to support tracking in PRISM and logistics as well as other data to support with logistics. A table with the items included in this catalogue, and their respective material codes, can be found below.

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).
