Amendment 001

This solicitation amendment is raised to:

========================================================================

The Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) is the lead federal agency responsible for ensuring the clean-up of all  ship-source and mystery-source pollution spills into waters under Canadian jurisdiction. In fulfillment of this  legislated mandate, the CCG maintains a level of operational preparedness capacity to monitor, investigate, and respond, when required, to all reports of marine pollution incidents. 

The CCG requires the ability to procure 18 and 24 inch curtain boom and 18 and 24 inch fence boom, as well as optional accessories. The intent is to create a list of qualified suppliers that may be called on to provide goods as detailed within the 8 Boom Streams and Optional Accessories to support this requirement.

Suppliers may choose to submit an arrangement for any or all of the streams, based on their ability to supply the required items.

The Supply Arrangement will be reviewed annually to determine whether it remains advantageous for Canada’s use. A Notice will be posted once a year on the Government Electronic Tendering Service (GETS) to  allow new Suppliers to become qualified and provide existing Suppliers an opportunity to qualify  for other streams. 

The period for awarding contracts under the Supply Arrangement begins immediately after  issuance of Supply Arrangements.

The requirement is subject to the provisions of the World Trade Organization Agreement on Government Procurement (WTO-AGP), the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), the Canada-United Kingdom Trade Continuity Agreement (Canada-UK TCA), and the Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA). Procedural requirements of the other international trade agreements such as Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) will be fulfilled following compliance to the procedural requirements of the WTO-AGP.

Solicitation amendments, if and when issued, will be available on https://canadabuys.canada.ca/en.  It is the responsibility of the Supplier to ensure that all amendments issued during the solicitation period have been obtained and addressed in the submitted arrangement.
