Background
A Request for Information (RFI) was posted on merx for the
above-mentioned requirement and closed on November 1, 2013. The
RFI sought information from vendors with respect to the state of
the art in nanosatellite and microsatellite compatible Suite-B
compliant communications security (COMSEC) devices for use on
future space missions on behalf of the Department of National
Defence (DND), Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC).
In addition to seeking information on the responder's current
status of COMSEC equipment, information on related costs,
scheduling, risk, contractual terms, and cost sharing was also
requested. The findings document summarizes the information
received from suppliers.
The statement of Requirements (SOR) for the required COMSEC
device is available upon request to the Procurement Authority
identified above.
It is anticipated that any resultant Request for Proposal or
Request for Standing Offer may only be issued in 2013 or 2014.
INDUSTRY CONSULTATION MEETINGS
The COMSEC Project Team welcomes the opportunity to hold
one-on-one meetings, either in person or by teleconference, with
interested vendors at their request. In person meetings will
occur at government facilities within the National Capital
Region. Meetings will be held at a date and time agreeable to
both the COMSEC Project team and the vendor. Meetings may be
held at the vendor's facilities at the sole discretion of the
COMSEC Project team. In addition, the project team is prepared
to conduct such meetings beyond the closing date identified in
this Notice and throughout the pre-RFP phase or until further
notice. To arrange a meeting, please contact the Procurement
Authority listed below.
All substantive and non-proprietary questions and answers
discussed during these meetings will be noted and made available
to all vendors participating in the Industry Consultation
Process. Questions may be edited so that the proprietary nature
of questions is eliminated.
Participation in one-on-one meetings is not required in order to
submit a response to any follow-on RFP.
Delivery Date: Above-mentioned
The Crown retains the right to negotiate with suppliers on any
procurement.
