MAINTENANCE DIVING EQUIPMENT 

W8482-182212/B

Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) is requesting Industry feedback regarding a requirement for the services related to the maintenance of equipment for diving operations for the Government of Canada, Department of National Defence (DND).

This LOI supersedes the previous notice posted on Buy and Sell (W8482-182212/A). 

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
DND diving operations are a specialised capability and an inherently high risk-activity requiring an assortment of equipment to meet specific mission objectives and preserve the safety of personnel.  The current maintenance strategy is based on three groups of equipment:

1. Personal diving equipment
2. Recompression chambers 
3. Diving air compressors 

The diving equipment is located at multiple locations across Canada as diving operations are carried out by all elements of the CAF and due to an increase in operation tempo and reduced personnel, the current maintenance strategy is becoming unsustainable.  DND is seeking to streamline this strategy through partnership with Industry.

OBJECTIVES OF THIS LOI:

- Provide industry with high level information on the types of diving equipment currently used by the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) and the maintenance requirement;

- Solicit feedback from Industry on different methods of supply being considered by Canada; and

- Invite interested suppliers to participate in virtual one-on-one meetings.

CLOSING DATE FOR THE LOI:

Responses to this LOI are to be submitted to the PWGSC Contracting Authority identified above, on or before March 31, 2021. 

Interested Respondents may submit their responses electronically to the PWGSC Contracting Authority, identified below via email:
