3. Justification for the Pre-Identified Supplier
It is proposed to enter into a Contract with CUBIC Defense
Application, Inc., San Diego, California as this is the only
company who can supply the above requirement.
British Army Training Unit Suffield(BATUS) has in place an
existing trunked radio network system comprised of three 100m
communications towers and associated complex computer /
telecommunications systems. BATUS's system is used to provide
communications, command and control and Battle field recording
of 2200 square KMs of live fire training area during exercises.
BATUS has a contract with CUBIC Defense Application, Inc., to
maintain and repair this system.
A few years ago CFB Suffield purchased approximately 300
handheld and fixed radios to provide Canadian control of the
Range Training Area. CFB Suffield has been authorized by UK
Ministry of Defense to utilize the existing towers and computer
/ telecommunications systems so that our radios will work on the
range. Basically, our radios have been programmed to operate on
their network.
As CUBIC Defense Application, Inc., by authority of their
contract with UK MOD, has the sole control and access to the
network equipment / communications system, CUBIC Field Services
Canada Ltd is the only company that can program and maintain CFB
Suffields radios to work on this system. CUBIC will not allow
any other company administrative access to these computers, as
doing so will compromise the BATUS network. If an outside
company has administrative access to the computer system and
causes any type of outage to BATUS Operational training, it may
put CUBIC Defense Application, Inc., in a position that CUBIC
Defense Application, Inc., may breach their contract in that
they couldn't fulfill their primary obligation.
4. Government Contracts Regulations Exception
The following exception to the Government Contracts Regulations
is invoked for this procurement under subsection 6(d) - "only
