LETTER OF INTEREST/REQUEST FOR INFORMATION FOR THE TACTICAL
FIELD OVER BOOT (TFOB)
The purpose of this Letter of Interest (LOI) is to inform
industry that the Department of National Defence (DND) intends
to introduce an over boot to be worn over existing in-service
and future designs of operational footwear to provide
protection, traction, and support in climatic conditions that
are transitory (i.e. snow, sleet, rain, mixture).
This LOI seeks to investigate the following:
a. What products are commercially available and suitable for use
in the military that may be feasible for procurement and
delivery within the next two years;
b. The performance characteristics (and design) of those over
boots currently available; and
c. An indicative price and availability of those over boots
currently available.
The results of this LOI/RFI will be used to aid in the
specification development and purchase of an approximate
quantity of 40,000 pairs of Tactical Field Over Boot (TFOB).
This LOI is not a bid solicitation. This LOI will not result in
the award of any contract; therefore, potential suppliers of any
goods or services described in this LOI should not earmark stock
or facilities, nor allocate resources, as a result of any
information contained in this LOI. Nor will this LOI result in
the creation of any source list; therefore, whether or not any
potential supplier responds to this LOI will not preclude that
supplier from participating in any future procurement. Also, the
procurement of any of the goods and services described in this
LOI will not necessarily follow this LOI. This LOI is simply
intended to solicit information from industry with respect to
the contents of this LOI.
Enquiries regarding this LOI shall be directed to the LOI
Authority. Enquiries received after 15 days before the closing
date of this LOI may not be answered. Because this is not a bid
solicitation, the Government of Canada will not necessarily
respond to all enquiries in writing, nor circulate all answers
to Industry.
