Peru/Colombia/Panama

Attachment: None
Competitive Procurement Strategy: N/A - P&A/LOI Only
Comprehensive Land Claim Agreement: No
Nature of Requirements:
The current RCAF pilot training system is based on two inter
related service contracts with end dates of 2021 and 2027.
Efforts are underway to ensure a seamless transition and that
any future training system is cohesive and structured to
leverage emerging, more flexible technologies.
A Request For Information (RFI) has been released and is the
first step in an engagement process intended to exploit Canadian
industry experience and explore the potential for participation
of industry in providing maximum value and capability for the
RCAF.
This RFI is intended to be a starting point. It is seen as both
an examination of feasibility and a sounding board exercise as
we begin the examination of options, exploring what is within
the realm of the possible. It is also intended to gauge what
interest and capabilities exists for industry participation.
Open dialogue in both collective and individual forums will be
used to examine the potential for industry involvement in the
development of future RCAF pilot training systems.
This is not a bid solicitation, and no contract will result from
this RFI.
Requirements are subject to change, which may be as a result of
information provided in response to this RFI. Potential
respondents are advised that any information submitted to Canada
in response to this RFI may, or may not be used by Canada in the
development of a subsequent competitive RFP.
The issuance of this RFI does not create an obligation for
Canada to issue a subsequent RFP, and does not bind Canada
legally or otherwise, to enter into any agreement or to accept
or reject any suggestions.
There will be no short listing or pre-qualification of firms for
purposes of undertaking any future work as a result of this RFI.
Similarly, participation in this RFI process is not a condition
or prerequisite for participation in any RFP.
Companies responding to this RFI should identify any submitted
information that is to be considered as either company
confidential, proprietary or if the response contains controlled
goods.
All inquiries and other communications related to this RFI shall
be directed exclusively to:
