The Canadian Forces Fire Marshall (CFFM) is mandated to deliver information on fire prevention and safety in both official languages (i.e., English and French) to all Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) bases across Canada to support its Fire Prevention Week campaign. The CFFM fire prevention campaign shares the same goals as those associated with Fire Prevention Week; that is, to educate the public to take precautions to prevent potentially harmful fires, and provide information about surviving fires. To achieve this, the CFFM requires educational materials to distribute to the public. Specifically, CFFM requires up to 110 standard-issue National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA) Fire Prevention Week Kits to be distributed annually to requesting CAF Bases across Canada.
It is DND’s intention to award a single contract for this requirement.
Bidders are to refer to the Request for Proposal (RFP) for the detailed requirement.
MANDATORY CRITERIA (MC)
The Bidder must adequately demonstrate in its proposal how it will meet the following mandatory criteria:

Contract/agreement must be valid for the duration of the proposed Contract period.
