Armed Force needs and associated capability, schedule and cost

present its equipment in an interactive environment.

The demonstrations will take place during the week of 19 October
2015. The demonstrations will be held at Canadian Forces Base
Petawawa, Ontario. Respondents who wish to be selected for
participation in this engagement will do so at their own expense
and will not be reimbursed for any of their expenses.
Respondents interested in participating in the demonstration
must complete the matrix at Annex B to this document. All
information provided at Annex B must be returned no later than
September 14, 2015 and must be certified by an authorized
representative of the company. Participation at the Equipment
Demonstration will be limited to five (5) respondents and will
be considered on a first response basis. In order to be invited
to participate at the Equipment Demonstration the Canadian Armed
Forces will verify that participants are able to meet the
requirements detailed in Annex B of the RFI.
This is not a bid solicitation. A contract will not result from
