    Description
    Trade Agreement: NONE
    Tendering Procedures: All interested suppliers may submit a bid
    Competitive Procurement Strategy: N/A - P&A/LOI Only
    Comprehensive Land Claim Agreement: No
    Nature of Requirements: 
    
    The Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) fleet of Air Cushion Vehicles (ACV) primarily supports the Search and Rescue (SAR), icebreaking and marine navigation services mandate in the Central Region, and the Western region. See Annex B for operational areas for both ACV bases in Vancouver and Trois-Rivières.  
    
    The ACV has the unique capability of navigating shallow waters and mudflats as it hovers on an air cushion above surfaces. This vehicle provides medium lift capability and access to areas inaccessible to all other vessels. As such, the ACV also conducts numerous secondary missions including support to law enforcement and response to emergency situations and natural disasters in cooperation with other federal, provincial, and municipal government agencies. For more information about the ACV visit the following web page: https://inter-j01.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fdat/vessels/98.
    
    The current ACV fleet is composed of 2 vehicles commissioned in 1998, one commissioned in 2008 and the last one commissioned in 2014. These vehicles have a relatively short in-service life expectancy due to their aluminum build and icebreaking core duty in harsh environment.
     
    The CCG is beginning the procurement process for the replacement of its aging ACV fleet and is therefore seeking information on existing vehicles and proven designs. Understanding market availability of applicable and suitable technical solutions will be key to help shape the procurement strategy.
    
    This RFI is a consultative initiative, led by PSPC, on behalf of the CCG, hereafter referred to as Canada. The purpose of this RFI is to achieve the following:
    1. Apprise potential bidders of the requirements of this project;
    2. Collect information regarding the technical feasibility of the requirements;
    3. Seek industry feedback to streamline the technical and solicitation requirements; and
    4. Seek costing information from industry for budgetary purposes.
    
    Shipyards and ship designers are encouraged to respond. For shipyards, any proposed candidate vessel must be one that has been built and delivered to an external client.  
    
    Delivery Date: Above-mentioned
    
    The Crown retains the right to negotiate with suppliers on any procurement.
    
    Documents may be submitted in either official language of Canada.
