    Notice of Proposed Procurement (NPP) - Request for Information (RFI)
    Overview
    
    In order to deliver its core mandate, the Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) intends to procure up to six vessels, of an estimated 900-950 MT lightship weight, as part of a new class of Mid-Shore Multi-Mission (MSMM) vessels. The current intention would be to build two MSMM vessels for each of the three areas of operation further described in this RFI. One of the vessels is intended to be assigned part time to the Canadian Coast Guard College as a training vessel.
    
    These vessels will be designed and built with the intention of being managed as national assets of a single, common CCG fleet of vessels. The goal of CCG class management is to achieve commonality across vessels for maintenance, training, and sparing purposes. Further benefits include operational compatibility when personnel and assets are reassigned between the regions. As such, the MSMM vessels will be designed and built to meet the needs of the various programs on a national level.
    
    The MSMM vessels will provide a wide range of program delivery capabilities while maximizing mission modularity, innovation, green technologies, and an effective return on investment to Canadians. Mission modularity capacity, refers to the method of employing various modules, containers, or portable deck mounted equipment which can be stored on board or in the regions, to support the primary and secondary missions as required. The new class of vessels is intended to function primarily as a platform for the following:
    
    • Ecosystem and marine science
    • Hydrographic surveys
    • Aids to Navigation (AToN)
    • Search and Rescue services
    • Icebreaking in the form of shallow harbour breakouts, flood control, and commercial track maintenance within its capabilities.
    
    Objective of this RFI:
    
    Canada, as represented by the Canadian Coast Guard (CCG), a Special Operating Agency of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), with the assistance of Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC), intends to use this Request for Information (RFI/B) to consult and update Industry with regards to the following:
    
    a) To provide Industry with an update regarding the MSMM vessels procurement and provide industry with an early opportunity to assess and comment on the revised documents;
    
    b) To solicit industry knowledge and expertise regarding best practices towards a successful outcome for this procurement project;
    
    c) To gauge the feasibility of the proposed Indigenous Participation Component (IPC) as part of the MSMM procurement in order to meet the Government of Canada’s commitments of advancing Indigenous socio-economic development through federal contracting opportunities; and
    
    d) To gauge how the solutions proposed by industry will provide opportunities that would allow Canada to improve conditions for investment, enhance Canada's innovation performance, and build a fair, efficient and competitive marketplace.
    
    Additional information is provided in the RFI documents.
