NATURE OF LETTER OF INTEREST
The purpose of this Letter of Interest (LOI) is to invite
industry members from all sectors of the supply chain, relevant
to this product, to seek appointments for individual meetings
with members of the SBS Project Team. The intended purpose of
these 'one-on-one' meetings is to solicit feedback from industry
on the previously posted and cancelled SBS RFP W8486-151419/A.
Meetings are not limited to prime contractors. Meetings are not
limited to Canadian Suppliers.
In light of the number of bidder questions and concerns raised
during the course of the RFP posting on Buy and Sell, DND would
like to examine Industry's perspective on any issues with
respect to the requirements outlined in the previously posted
Specification, Statement of Work and Bid Evaluation Plan for the
Sleeping Bag System.
Resulting from the one-on-one industry meetings, DND may release
a 2nd LOI with a draft Specification and/or list of specific
questions for review and formal response by Industry. The
objective of which is to develop a new RFP.
This Letter of Interest (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 invite industry
representatives to meet with DND for the purpose of soliciting
information.
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.
Delivery Date: Above-mentioned
The Crown retains the right to negotiate with suppliers on any
procurement.
Documents may be submitted in either official language of Canada.
