Parachute Training Facility and Instructors
The Department of National Defence (DND) requires a Contractor to supply instruction, facilities, resources, and infrastructure needed to support the conduct of Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) Military Freefall Parachute (MFP), Military Square Parachutist (MSP), Military Square Parachute Jump Master (MSPJM), Military Square Parachute Instructor (MSPI), Static Line Square Canopy Basic (SLSC-B), USPA/CSPA license certifications and training of the Canadian Armed Forces Parachute Team (CAFPT) - The SkyHawks.
Canadian Army Advanced Warfare Centre (CAAWC), located at Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Trenton, Ontario is the primary training facility for military freefall parachuting in the Canadian Army and parent unit of the CAFPT. Due to inconsistent local weather that often impedes sustained and concentrated freefall and Canopy Relative Work (CRW) parachuting, CAAWC is seeking an alternative cost-effective training location with more conducive weather to conduct the jump phase of all square parachuting courses and the training camps for the CAFPT.
The contract period will be for 2 years from 1-December-2021 to 30-November-2023 with 2, 1-year option periods.
The intention of the Crown is to issue one contract to meet this requirement.
