Public summary
Generated or condensed from imported source text. Verify before bidding.
This appears to be an open Request for Supply Arrangements (RFSA) from Public Works and Government Services Canada for communications cable assemblies used by the Department of National Defence. **What is being sought** - Build-to-print cable assemblies manufactured to Canada’s specifications. - Supply on an “as and when required” basis over an estimated 15-year period. - The estimated overall value is $99 million, but this is not a guaranteed contract value. - Canada intends to create or maintain a list of qualified suppliers. Future orders are expected to be competed among suppliers on that list. **Potentially relevant businesses** This may be relevant to Canadian manufacturers or suppliers with the ability to produce electrical, communications, cable, cord, or wire assemblies to detailed technical drawings and specifications. The RFSA states that qualification depends entirely on meeting its mandatory requirements; the information provided does not establish whether any particular business qualifies. **Important requirements and considerations** - The requirement includes controlled-goods information. Suppliers would need to be registered, exempt, or excluded under the Controlled Goods Program to access the applicable information. - Specific procurements may favour or be limited to Canadian goods and/or services, depending on which trade-agreement provisions apply. - Individual requirements may be subject to additional competitions, specifications, delivery terms, and mandatory conditions. - Documents may be submitted in English or French. - The listed delivery date of June 14, 2024 appears inconsistent with the stated closing date of July 31, 2030 and the later document dates. This should be checked carefully against the latest amendment and official tender notice. **Location** The listed delivery or service locations include Ontario excluding the National Capital Region, Alberta, Gatineau, and Quebec. The exact applicable location may vary by individual requirement. **Key caution** An RFSA is not itself a contract, and Canada does not guarantee that it will issue orders or solicit proposals through the arrangement. Before deciding whether to respond, review the complete RFSA, all amendments, mandatory qualification criteria, technical specifications, Controlled Goods requirements, and submission instructions on the official Canada Buys notice. The supplied record does not include a direct official tender-page URL, so the current notice and closing date should be independently verified before submitting anything.
