RFI- Build- Mid-Shore Multi-Mission (MSMM) vessels
Public summary
Generated or condensed from imported source text. Verify before bidding.
This appears to be an open Request for Information (RFI) from Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC), on behalf of the Canadian Coast Guard, concerning the proposed procurement of Mid-Shore Multi-Mission (MSMM) vessels. The RFI is intended to update potential vessel builders, shipyards, and joint-venture participants on Canada’s proposed procurement approach and expected schedule. It includes information about anticipated Invitation to Qualify requirements. The procurement details are still being developed, and additional clauses or requirements may be added if a future solicitation is issued. Businesses potentially interested in participating may submit responses, including answers to Annex C questions, through the Event Messages tab in the SAP Business Network event. The listed RFI closing date is December 31, 2026, at 1:30 p.m. A business seeking a one-on-one meeting was asked to contact the Contracting Authority through the Canada Buys Messages tab by March 24, 2026; that date should be checked against the official notice, particularly if it has passed. The listed location is Gatineau, Quebec, although the opportunity concerns a broader Canadian vessel procurement. This is an information-gathering process rather than a confirmed contract opportunity or bid call, and responding does not appear to guarantee qualification for any future procurement. Shipyards, marine-sector firms, and potential joint-venture members may find it potentially relevant, subject to the detailed RFI annexes and any future qualification requirements. Before responding, review the complete official RFI and annexes in the SAP Business Network event, confirm the current deadlines and submission instructions, and verify all requirements directly with the official tender notice.Source: https://portal.us.bn.cloud.ariba.com/dashboard/public/appext/comsapsbncdiscoveryui#/Rfx Event/preview/1110007510?an Id=ANONYMOUS
