LETTER OF INTEREST (LOI) for the Supply of a VICTORIA CLASS

The Department of National Defence (DND) would like to procure

the Crown's decision making process to reach the implementation

the work as well as a rough order of magnitude on both cost and

In accordance with SOW paragraph 2.0, the above-referenced

PWGSC Contracting Authority (CA) named herein.
In accordance with SOW paragraph 3.0, DND representatives will
be made available to meet at the bidder's facilities to clarify
requirements and conceptual design, provided that a written
request is submitted to DND via the CA at least two (2) weeks
prior to a suggested meeting date.

compliant bidder, would design, manufacture and test the LRS,
providing interface details, integrated logistics support (ILS)
and a technical documentation package (TDP). Each of the four
