NATURE OF REQUIREMENT

The Department of National Defence (DND) requires the production to final format and delivery of different types of shooting targets. The targets must be delivered to Montreal, QC and Edmonton, AB as per the delivery schedule in Annex ''A'' Statement of Work.

The various targets will be ordered on an ''if and when'' required basis at any time and at the sole discretion of DND for the following three (3) categories of targets:

Category 1: Polyethylene foam target Category 2: Target Paster and Dispenser box Category 3: Paper and Paperboard target

Offerors may submit an offer for any one (1) or multiple categories. Offerors are required to clearly identify in their offer, for which category or categories they are submitting an offer.

In order to prepare an offer in response to the Request For Standing Offer (RFSO), offerors must have access to the technical specifications that are proprietary to Canada. It is a condition of the RFSO that offerors sign a Confidentiality Agreement substantially in the form set out in Annex ''E'' before being given access to such information before it is provided to them as part of the RFSO.

All requests to obtain the technical specifications of any of the targets must be submitted in writing to the Standing Offer Authority (Daniel.Buck@tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca and TPSGC.padgamiace-appbmpace.PWGSC@tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca) no later than fifteen (15) business days before the Request for Standing Offers (RFSO) closing date.

Canada anticipates issuing two (2) standing offers for each category.

The period of each Standing Offer will be from the date of issuance to March 31, 2020 inclusive.

If the Standing Offer is authorized for use beyond the initial period, the Offeror offers to extend its offer for an additional four (4) one (1) year periods, under the same conditions and at the prices specified in the Standing Offer.

The requirement is subject to the provisions of the Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA).

The requirement is subject to a preference for Canadian goods and/or services.

The Request for Standing Offers (RFSO) is to establish National Individual Standing Offers for the requirement detailed in the RFSO, to the Identified Users across Canada, excluding locations within Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Quebec, and Labrador that are subject to Comprehensive Land Claims Agreements (CLCAs). Any requirement for deliveries to locations within CLCAs areas within Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Quebec, or Labrador will have to be treated as a separate procurement, outside of the resulting standing offers.

Canada encourages self-declared aboriginal businesses to submit an offer.
