The Department of National Defence (DND) requires a training course to train Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) personnel in the fundamentals of tactical fire survival operations. The purpose is for specialized instruction in the conduct of combat and rescue operations in environments where fire and/or fire-related hazards exist.
The proposed contract will also include an option to purchase additional courses up to one (1) year from contract award. The purpose of this Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN) is to signal the government's intention to award a contract for Fire Operations Course to GRA, Inc.
Before awarding a contract, however, the government would like to provide other suppliers with the opportunity to demonstrate that they are capable of satisfying the requirements set out in this Notice, by submitting a proposal for the specified training during the 15 calendar day posting period.
If other potential suppliers submit a statement of capabilities during the 15 calendar day posting period that meet the requirements set out in the ACAN, the government will proceed to a full tendering process on either the government's electronic tendering service or through traditional means, in order to award the contract.
If no other supplier submits, on or before the closing date, a statement of capabilities meeting the requirements set out in the ACAN, a contract will be awarded to the pre-selected supplier.
