The Department of National Defence has a requirement to acquire services for the Program Support, Maintenance, Engineering, Material, Field Service Representatives, and Publications Support for the F404 Propulsion Group and ancillary components.

In accordance with the Canada's Defence Renewal Sustainment Initiative efforts to find efficiencies for reinvestment, the concept of support for this fleet is under review. Given the complexity of the analysis that is underway, the plan to have a F404 OWSM contract in place in the near future has been set aside.

In order to avoid a gap in contractual coverage, which could significantly impact RCAF operations, an interim short-term two-year transitional contract will be required. It is anticipated that this requirement for Repair or Overhaul of the F404 Propulsion Group will be competed and posted on "Buy and Sell" in January 2014.

The intent of this Letter of Interest (LOI) is to solicit market information, including availability and delivery schedule, as well as to determine industry interest in responding to a potential Request for Proposal (RFP) for the needed resources. Delivery Date: Above-mentioned

The Crown retains the right to negotiate with suppliers on any procurement.
