The SA is a two stages procurement procedure:

Stage 1: Establish a pool of pre-qualified suppliers
A competitive Request for Supply Arrangement (RFSA) is posted on the Government Electronic Tendering System (GETS) with information regarding the requirements.  Suppliers are requested to submit an offer that meets the mandatory requirements of the RFSA.  An evaluation of the arrangements is completed and the responsive supplier(s) are issued a SA for goods to be supplied as required.  

Stage 2: Individual Request for Proposals
In accordance with the SA issued in Stage 1, Request for Proposals (RFPs) will sent to one or more suppliers on the SA Holder list in accordance with the Bid Solicitation Process and Tendering Periods stipulated in the SA.  Based on the evaluation procedures and basis of selection outlined in the individual RFPs, subsequent contracts could be awarded.  

The purpose of the Pilot Project will enable DND to evaluate and determine if this is a good method of supply for Aviation Replacement Parts.  The duration of the Pilot Project will be up to 18 months.
