This notice is to serve as an opportunity for interested
suppliers to qualify for the existing Supply Arrangement
F5561-132289 Supply Arrangement Halifax Area Alongside Refits
and Urgent Repairs. Firms already on the supply arrangement DO
NOT need to resubmit.

Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) has a
requirement, on behalf of the Canadian Coast Guard (CCG), to
establish a Supply Arrangement (SA) for Halifax Area Alongside
Refit Activities (HAARA).

A supply arrangement (SA) is a non-binding arrangement between
Canada and a pre-qualified supplier that allows departments and
agencies to award contracts and solicit bids from a pool of
pre-qualified suppliers for specific requirements within the
scope of the SA.

An SA is not a contract for the provision of the goods and
services described in it and neither party is legally bound, as
a result of signing a supply arrangement alone. The intent of a
supply arrangement is to establish a framework to permit
expeditious processing of individual bid solicitations, which
result in legally binding contracts for the goods and services
described in those bid solicitations.

The purpose of this Request for Supply Arrangement is to
establish a list of pre-qualified suppliers that will be used by
PWGSC to permit expeditious processing of individual bid
solicitations for CCG alongside refits. The HAARA Supply
Arrangement for the Nova Scotia Region of the CCG, Marine
Engineering Section, will be used to solicit bids for all
alongside refits of CCG vessels with homeports identified as
being located in Halifax Regional Municipality, Nova Scotia. The
HAARA may also be used to perform urgent/unscheduled repair
activities to CCG vessels from other regions, as and when
required.

The Supply Arrangement has no defined end-date and will remain
valid until such time as Canada no longer considers it to be
advantageous to use it.

This requirement is subject to the provisions of the Agreement
on Internal Trade (AIT).

This procurement is set aside from the North American Free Trade
Agreement (NAFTA) - exemption reference: Chapter 10, Annex
1001.2b, General Notes, Schedule of Canada - paragraph 1(a). It
is also set aside from the World Trade Organization - Agreement
on Government Procurement (WTO-AGP) - exemption reference: Annex
4, Note 4.

Interested suppliers shall contact the Contracting Authority
below to request a copy of the solicitation document.
