Nature of Requirement:

Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) has a requirement for the provision of annual ground and simulator training for RCMP Pilatus PC-12 NG (Next Genera-tion) and Twin Otter DHC-6 pilots. Annual training is a Transport Canada requirement (CARS 604.143) ensuring pilots maintain a high level of safe competency.

This competency is evaluated internally by RCMP Check pilots and a Certification of Proficiency is issued to complete the Transport Canada competency obligations. The statement of work is in accordance with the Air Services Fixed Wing Operations Manu-al (FWOM) section 6 Training and Proficiency Requirements.

The purpose of this Advanced Contract Award Notice is to signal the government’s in-tention to award a contract for these services to Flight Safety International, Flight Safety International, 95 Garrat Boulevard. Downsview, Ontario. Canada. M3K 2A5

Before awarding a contract, however, the PSPC 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 statement of capabilities during the ACAN post-ing period.

If other potential suppliers submit a statement of capabilities during the ACAN posting period that fully meets the requirements set out in the ACAN, PSPC will proceed to a full tendering process; either Competitive-Government Electronic Tendering Service (GETS) or Competitive-Non GETS, in order to award the contract.

If on or before the closing date, no other supplier submits a statement of capabilities that meets the requirements set out in the ACAN, the PSPC may award a contract to the proposed supplier.
