Description
The Department of National Defence (DND) requires a mortuary service provider on an "as and when requested basis" with the capacity to recover and transfer full or partial human remains of formerly missing Canadian servicemen, deceased prior to 1970, from one country to another, to arrange for purchase and transport of burial accoutrements and to arrange for funerary services worldwide. The majority of Canadian war dead that are missing with no known grave are mainly in Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Eastern Europe and East Asia where Canadian service members suffered high casualty rates during 20th-century wars. The majority of service members that were killed in Canada and have no known grave were a result of service with the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP) during the Second World War. The Contractor is required to supply and manage the services of Forensic Archeological, Forensic Anthropological, Genealogy specialists, Laboratory services, and Mortuary services. The period of any resulting contract is from date of Contract to one year later, with an irrevocable option on the part of Canada to extend the term of the Contract by up to four (4) additional one (1) year periods.
