TITLE
Electro-Optic and Infrared (EO-IR) Procurement Strategy
INTRODUCTION
Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC), through its
responsibilities as a central, shared and common services
organization, provides departments and federal agencies with
services in support of their programs. In addressing this
mandate, PWGSC is responsible for developing and implementing
all stages of the procurement process. This is in inquiry for
general information regarding Defence Research and Development
Canada (DRDC) to address electro-optic and infrared (EO-IR)
needs. DRDC and PWGSC cannot guarantee that a request for
proposals will be issued as a result of this RFI.
OBJECTIVES OF THE RFI
The objectives of this RFI are to gather industry concerns
regarding the proposed procurement strategy and to give industry
an opportunity to raise issues related to the information
provided and propose possible solutions.
DRDC is considering establishing, through a competitive process,
task authorization (TA) contracts, explained in Appendix D, in
order to meet its EO-IR requirements, outlined in Appendix A.
The EO-IR service requirements are for several DRDC sections,
including Spectral and Geospatial Exploitation (SGE),
Electro-optical Warfare (EOW), Tactical Surveillance and
Reconnaissance (TSR) and Defence Engineering Valcartier (DeV).
The various types of services sought encompass various aspects
of EO-IR, such as, for example, engineering, design,
architecture, programming, support, assistance and test data
analysis.
DRDC wishes to obtain information on the various technical,
financial and contractual aspects of the stated needs. The
information provided will be used to better define the needs,
the strategy structure, the cost estimate, the schedule estimate
and the requirements associated with the needs, in the event
that a competitive call for proposals is issued. To gather this
information, questions were raised in the "Requirements
Regarding Responses to the RFI" section of this letter.
The appendices contain the statements of work and an example of
the criteria considered, on which we would like feedback.
