The Canadian Forces CBRN Decontamination System (CFCBRNDS)
project is considering an updated procurement strategy to
procure the decontaminant and dissemination equipment. The
project would like industry input into this proposed strategy
prior to making their final decision.
Procurement Strategy
The proposed strategy seeks one prime contractor to provide a
complete Decontamination System, comprising both the chemical
and biological (CB) decontaminant and the disseminating
equipment.
Any CB decontaminant may be proposed provided that the bidder
can demonstrate its efficacy meets or exceeds specified
mandatory performance through test reports that meet specified
verification requirements. While the project had previously
qualified four (4) decontaminants in Phase 1, DND will no
longer use the list of qualified decontaminants. Decontaminant
will be evaluated as part of a complete Decontamination System.
DND will accept laboratory tests reports of those four
decontaminants to support their efficacy claims, if applicable.
Test reports will have to be provided as part of the proposal.
Attached for your information are the following documents:
1) Outline Statement of Work (Annex A)
2) Outline Equipment Specifications (Appendix 1 to Annex A)
3) Outline Decontaminant Specifications (Appendix 2 to Annex A)
Questions for Industry
1) Can industry provide a decontamination system using a CB
decontaminant that meets mandatory efficacy performance?
2) Would industry be prepared for a Winter 2013 single RFP
release to provide a decontamination system with a CB
decontaminant that meets mandatory efficacy performance?"
3) Would industry be able to provide the necessary CB
Decontaminant efficacy test reports as part of a response to
the RFP?
