Under the Government Contract Regulations the exception to soliciting bids is as follows: only one person or firm is capable of performing the contract. Trade agreement application: The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT), World Trade Operation Agreement on Government Procurement (WTO-AGP), Canada-Peru Free Trade Agreement, Canada-Chile Free Trade Agreement and Canada-Columbia Free Trade Agreement are applicable to this procurement.

Reason for single tendering consideration: In 2005, the purchase of 285 Intermec model 730 was done by General Dynamic Canada as part of a tri-fold statement of work to develop a Tactical Asset Configuration Information System (TACIS) for support of the Land Command Support System between Director Land Command System Program Management (DLCSPM) DND, General Dynamics Canada and Auto-trol Technology (Canada).

In 2011, 285 Intermec model CN3G was purchased by Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC), Gatineau, on behalf of DND for upgrade from the old model 730 (end of life) to new model CN3G (no wireless capability). The application (TACIS) is being used across DND and the original software was designed specifically for model 730, using libraries and system calls specific to Intermec technologies. And this software is also compatible with model CN3G. Therefore, the upgrade requires no (or very minimal) changes to the application, i.e. Additional design, coding, testing, documentation and user training effort.

Now, DND would like to purchase additional barcode readers (model CN3G) which can interchangeable/interoperable with existing equipment and software. DND has done a lot of effort to develop the TACIS system as a robust application and to input thousands of records into the system. Any changes on application would cause substantial duplication of costs to the procuring entity.

Delivery: Delivery is required on or before 28 December 2012.

Estimate cost of the proposed contract: Estimate cost of the proposed contract is: C$388,500.00, GST included.
