The objective of this Request for Supply Arrangement (RFSA) is to establish a list of pre-qualified firms capable of providing the Department of National Defense (DND) with a broad range of advisory and consulting services in Supply Chain Management. The list of pre-qualified suppliers will be used as a source list for various requirements to support the Defence Supply Chain (DSC) Governance authorities in their decision making and oversight roles.

Annex A, Statement of Work of the RFSA includes examples of requirements which may be contracted for under the Supply Arrangement (SA). The list is not meant to be firm nor exhaustive, but illustrative in nature of the range and type of tasks, activities, and deliverables that could be required.

There are security requirements associated with this requirement. For additional information, consult Part 1 - General Information, and Part 6A - Supply Arrangement.
