RFI - Landing Craft Motorized (LCM)
Public summary
Generated or condensed from imported source text. Verify before bidding.
This is an open Request for Information (RFI), not necessarily a request for bids or a contract award. PSPC, for the Canadian Coast Guard, is seeking industry input about Landing Craft Motorized (LCMs) that could support two Polar Icebreakers. The vessels would transfer cargo and supplies between the icebreakers and shore, including in Arctic and ice-infested waters. PSPC appears interested in several possibilities: existing LCMs, modifying or converting existing vessels, adapting proven commercial designs, or designing and building new LCMs. Businesses with relevant vessel design, construction, modification, marine engineering, Arctic operations, or commercial landing-craft experience may potentially have relevant information to provide. The listed locations include Quebec outside the National Capital Region, British Columbia, and Gatineau/Quebec. The notice is shown as open and closes October 1, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. However, an RFI may be used to gather market information and does not by itself guarantee a future procurement opportunity. Review the official tender notice and any associated documents for the required response format, technical requirements, security or registration conditions, and submission instructions before responding.Official source: https://portal.us.bn.cloud.ariba.com/dashboard/public/appext/comsapsbncdiscoveryui#/Rfx Event/preview/1110023599?an Id=ANONYMOUS
