    ATLANTIC CANADA SMALL VESSEL DOCKING REFITS
    
    F5561-142801
    
    This notice is to serve as an opportunity for interested suppliers to qualify for the existing Supply Arrangement F5561-142801 Supply Arrangement Atlantic Canada Small Vessel Docking Refits. Firms already on the supply arrangement DO NOT need to resubmit.
    
    New suppliers wishing to receive the RFSA documentation must submit the request by email to the Contracting Authority.
    
    A supply arrangement (SA) is a non-binding arrangement between Canada and a pre-qualified supplier that allows departments and agencies to award contracts and solicit bids from a pool of pre-qualified suppliers for specific requirements within the scope of the SA.
    
    An SA is not a contract for the provision of the goods and services described in it and neither party is legally bound, as a result of signing a supply arrangement alone. The intent of a supply arrangement is to establish a framework to permit expeditious processing of individual bid solicitations, which result in legally binding contracts for the goods and services described in those bid solicitations.
    
    The purpose of this Requirement is to maintain a list of pre-qualified suppliers used by the Halifax office of Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) to permit processing of individual bid solicitations and award subsequent contracts. The Atlantic Canada Small Vessel Docking  Supply Arrangement for the Canadian Coast Guard (CCG)/Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), Marine Engineering, applies to all small vessel docking refits from the Atlantic provinces, with the exception of vessels currently being maintained and managed by CCG and PSPC resources from Newfoundland and Labrador. This SA is at times used to perform urgent/unscheduled docking repairs to CCG small vessels from all regions of Canada, as and when required.
    
    For the purpose of this Supply Arrangement, small vessel docking refits are described as PWGSC contracted small vessel docking refits of a specified duration that are conducted at the contractors’ facilities. For the purpose of this Supply Arrangement small vessels are considered to be less than 30 metres in overall length and have a displacement of less than 300 tons. Small vessel docking refits are undertaken while the vessels are under the care and custody of the contractor and, in any subsequent contracts awarded; contractors are required as a minimum to abide by provincial and federal safety, security and environmental rules and regulations.
     
    Large vessel docking refit projects continue to be handled through separate individual contracts tendered through PSPC and available to all potential suppliers on the Government Electronic Tendering Service (GETS) website, at www.buyandsell.gc.ca
    
    The Supply Arrangement has no defined end-date and will remain valid until such time as Canada no longer considers it to be advantageous to use it.
    
    This requirement is subject to the provisions of the Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT). Certain holders of this Supply Arrangement will at times be restricted from bidding on small CCG small vessel refits. These vessels are not ice strengthened and have limited ability to withstand ice accumulation resulting from transiting in freezing spray conditions. It has been determined that the risks to personnel and equipment associated with extended open sea transits in winter conditions are high. To reduce these risks, small vessels will not be permitted to transit to or from contractor facilities located in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador or other locations that may require extended open sea transits. The period of these restrictions will normally be from December to April inclusive, but may be adjusted based on seasonal conditions.
    
    This procurement is set aside from the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) - exemption reference: Chapter 10, Annex 1001.2b, General Notes, Schedule of Canada - paragraph 1(a).  It is also set aside from the World Trade Organization - Agreement on Government Procurement (WTO-AGP) - exemption reference: Annex 4, Note 4.
    
    The Supply Arrangement became effective starting 1 January 2015.
