SYSTEM MANAGEMENT (OWSM) CONTRACT
This is a Request for Proposal (RFP) for provision of CC-130
AVIONICS SYSTEMS (AVS) OPTIMIZED WEAPONS SYSTEM MANAGEMENT

The CC-130 Hercules transport aircraft will be supported by the
Primary Air Vehicle (PAV), Propulsion (Prop), and Avionics
Systems (AVS) Optimized Weapon System Management (OWSM)
contracts. The Department of National Defence (DND) is
currently using a contracting approach called OWSM. Under the
OWSM approach PAV, Prop, and AVS system-level bundled,
long-term, and performance-based contracts are being implemented
for a number of air force fleets, including the CC-130 Hercules.
This RFP applies to the CC130 AVS only.
The OWSM approach consists of one Prime Contractor who is
responsible for the entire AVS Systems support requirement. This
includes the following work streams: Program Management,
Engineering Support, Software Support, and, Materiel Support. A
detailed list of activities for each work stream is included in
the RFP. The Prime Contractor will provide some support in-house
and sub-contract other support elements as required.
Procurement Process and Contractor Selection
A draft RFP was advertised on MERX (posted 2011/11/18) and
comments from Canadian Industry were taken under consideration
and, where appropriate, incorporated into the RFP.
Industrial and Regional Benefits will be sought and Bidders are
required to commit 75% of the contract value in direct and
indirect Industrial and Regional Benefits.
Bidders must be a Canadian registered company.
Program management work must be performed in Canada.
A minimum of 50% of the Engineering Work Stream must be
performed in Canada. The management of the Materiel Work Stream
must be performed in Canada.
After receipt of proposals, selection of a contractor will
follow standard bid evaluation processes. In this instance,
"best value" will be used for contractor selection where
Technical Score will represent seventy-five percent (75%) and
Bid Price will represent the remaining twenty-five percent (25%)
to provide the "best value" measure.
