Trade Agreement: WTO-AGP/NAFTA/AIT/Canada FTAs with Peru/Colombia/Panama
Tendering Procedures: All interested suppliers may submit a bid
Competitive Procurement Strategy:
Comprehensive Land Claim Agreement: No
Nature of Requirements:
Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) is requesting Industry feedback regarding the procurement for the Adjustable Tow Bar (ATB) for the Department of National Defence (DND).
The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to advise industry of this forthcoming requirement and provide industry with general information on the ATB requirement. There is an immediate need to procure adjustable tow bars to replace the existing rigid A-frame tow bars that do not have the capacity totow the new, heavier Light Armoured Vehicle Upgrade (LAV UP) Family of Vehicles (FOV). The adjustable functionality will eliminate the need for movement of the recovery vehicle with personnel supporting the tow bar in the crush zone (to permit hook-up of the casualty vehicle), which will reduce the safety risk to personnel during operation.
This RFI is neither a call for tender nor a Request for Proposal (RFP). No agreement or contract will be entered into based on this RFI. The issuance of this RFI is not to be considered in any way a commitment by the Government of Canada, nor as authority to potential respondents to undertake any work that could be charged to Canada. This RFI is not to be considered as a commitment to issue a subsequent solicitation or award contract(s) for the work described herein.
Participation in this RFI is encouraged, but is not mandatory. There will be no short-listing of potential suppliers for the purposes of undertaking any future work as a result of this RFI. Similarly, participation in this RFI is not a condition or prerequisite for the participation in any potential subsequent solicitation. Respondents will not be reimbursed for any cost incurred by participating in this RFI.
The RFI closing date published herein is not the deadline for comments or input. Comments and input will be accepted any time up to the time when/if a follow-on solicitation is published.
