Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) is requesting Industry feedback regarding the Light Forces Enhancement (LFE) project for the Government of Canada (GC), the Department of National Defence (DND), and the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF).

The Canadian Light Forces (LF) need new light tactical personnel and cargo carrying capabilities.  These capabilities will move soldiers and equipment across complex terrain which currently can only be reached on foot.  It will lighten CAF soldiers’ on-person combat burden by carrying additional equipment and supplies, and will cover a larger area of operation through increased speed, range, and duration.  This powerful, lightweight solution is expected to operate in domestic and expeditionary deployments, up to and including high threat environments. 

Objectives:

The objectives of this RFI are:

a) To develop a shared understanding with Industry about the LFE project;

b) To provide information to Industry and seek their feedback on LFE operational and sustainment requirements, Industrial and Technological Benefits (ITB) policy, and costing; and, 

c) To allow interested suppliers to express their ideas, ask questions, and voice their concerns.  

Communications:

All enquiries and other communications related to this RFI and associated Industry Engagement activities, must be directed exclusively to the PSPC Contracting Authority, using the LFE e-mail address TPSGC.PAAFL-APLFE.PWGSC@tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca.

Delivery Date: Above-mentioned

The Crown retains the right to negotiate with suppliers on any procurement.

Documents may be submitted in either official language of Canada.
