PURPOSE AND NATURE OF THE LOI/RFI Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) is requesting Industry feedback regarding National Institute of Justice (NIJ) Level IV Portable Ballistic Shields for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
1. Assess and comment on the adequacy and clarity of the requirements as currently exposed;
2. Provide information to assist the client department to determine whether to proceed with the requirement/strategy as planned, and if so, further developing internal planning, approval and solicitation documents that may potentially lead to a solicitation;
3. Refine the procurement strategy, project structure, cost estimate, timelines, requirements definition, and other aspects of the requirement;
4. Become a more ?informed buyer? with anenhanced understanding of industry goods and service offerings in the areas of interest.
This LOI/RFI is not a bid solicitation. This LOI/RFI will not result in the award of any contract; therefore, potential suppliers of any goods or services described in the LOI should not earmarkstock 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/RFI. This LOI/RFI is simply intended to solicit information from industry with respectto the contents of this LOI. Participation in this LOI/RFI is encouraged, but is not mandatory. Although the information collected may be provided as commercial-in-confidence (and, if identified as such, will be treatedaccordingly by Canada), Canada may use the information to assist in drafting performance specifications (which are subject to change) and for budgetary purposes. Respondents are asked to identify if their response, or any part of their response, is subject to the Controlled Goods Regulations.
Respondents will not be reimbursed for any cost incurred by participating in this LOI/RFI. The LOI/RFI closing date published herein is not the deadline for comments or input. Comments and input will be accepted any time up to the time when/if a follow-on solicitation is published.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: A pilot project was started several months ago with the purchase of six different standards of ballistic shields. In order to keep with the same standard as our Hard Body armour,the RCMP has decided that a NIJ Level IV shield is the ballistic protection of choice. The RCMP is looking to research and expand their use of portable ballistic protection to frontline members. We are looking for information from potential supplies on NIJ Level IV Portable Ballistic shields in order to help assist us in developing our requirement.
