Nature of Requirements:
LETTER OF INTEREST/REQUEST FOR INFORMATION FOR THE SNIPER BODY
ARMOUR SYSTEM (SBAS).
The purpose of this Letter of Interest (LOI) is to inform
industry that the Department of National Defence (DND) intends
to introduce a new configuration of fragmentation and bullet
resistant personal protective equipment for personnel engaged as
snipers in the Canadian Army. This system will be known as the
Sniper Body Armour System (SBAS).
The objectives of this LOI are the following:
- Provide Industry information about the requirement;
- Learn which companies would be interested in bidding on this
opportunity;
- Learn what products are commercially available and suitable
for use with the military that may be feasible for procurement
and delivery within the next two years;
- Receive an indication of production capabilities and potential
unit cost.
This LOI is not a bid solicitation. This LOI will not result in
the award of any contract; therefore, potential suppliers of any
goods or services described in this LOI should not earmark stock
or facilities, nor allocate resources, as a result of any
information contained in this LOI. Nor will this LOI result in
the creation of any source list; therefore, whether or not any
potential supplier responds to this LOI will not preclude that
supplier from participating in any future procurement. Also, the
procurement of any of the goods and services described in this
LOI will not necessarily follow this LOI. This LOI is simply
intended to solicit information from industry with respect to
the contents of this LOI.
Enquiries regarding this LOI shall be directed to the LOI
Authority. Enquiries received after 15 days before the closing
date of this LOI may not be answered. Because this is not a bid
solicitation, the Government of Canada will not necessarily
respond to all enquiries in writing, nor circulate all answers
to Industry.
