REQUIREMENT

The Department of National Defence (DND) Canadian Special Operations Forces Command (CANSOFCOM) in collaboration with the Canadian CBRNE Response Team, has a requirement for the provision of training services to develop, prepare, coordinate, execute and assess Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosive (CBRNE) scenario exercises on an “as and when requested” basis.

The period of the Standing Offer (SO) will be from date of issuance for a period of one year, and will include two (2) additional one-year optional periods.  Up to a maximum of 3 Standing Offers will be issued.  

This is a new requirement.


OBJECTIVE

The CBRNE training services provided by the Offeror will consist of all the aspects of a CBRNE exercise on an “as and when” requested basis and will included the following tasks:

(a)	The development, preparation and coordination of each scenario exercise;
(b)	Verbal and written assessment(s) of persons participating in the exercise(s);
(c)	Provision of resource(s) enabling execution of the exercise(s);
(d)	The exercise location; and
(e)	Provision of Equipment, Props and Inert Agents. 



The proposal offering the highest combined rating of Technical Score (60%) and Price (40%) will be ranked as the first Offeror.  Subsequent successful proposals will be ranked in descending order according to their combined rating of Technical Score and Price up to a maximum of three (3) Standing Offers.


Where this notice and the RFSO differs, the RFSO will prevail.


The Department of National Defence reserves the right not to issue a Standing Offer Arrangement regardless of the responses it receives.
