Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC), on behalf of the Department of National Defence, is seeking suppliers for an Invitation to Qualify (ITQ) related to the Interim Canadian Deep Precision Strike Capability (iCDPSC), reference W8703-270048. This is a qualification process rather than necessarily an immediate purchase contract. Suppliers that meet the ITQ requirements may be considered for future procurement processes involving an initial quantity of land-based launch systems, precision-guided munitions, mission-planning and command-and-control systems, communications, support equipment, training, documentation, maintenance, and technical support. The planned capability is intended to be deployable, survivable, interoperable with Canadian and allied forces, and suitable for extended-range precision operations. The notice states that participation is open to Canadian suppliers and suppliers from the Five Eyes Alliance and NATO community; however, businesses should review the official ITQ for the precise eligibility, security, technical, teaming, and submission requirements. This opportunity appears most relevant to businesses with substantial defence, aerospace, weapons-system, communications, software, integration, manufacturing, or sustainment capabilities, potentially including consortium or subcontracting arrangements.
