REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) REGARDING VIRTUAL CLOTHING AND PERSONAL EQUIPMENT OUTLOOK DAY 2021 FOR DIRECTOR SOLDIER SYSTEMS PROGRAM MANAGEMENT (DSSPM)

To support the Department of National Defence (DND), Director Soldier Systems Management (DSSPM) will be hosting a Virtual Clothing and Personal Equipment Outlook Day. This initiative aims to foster communication and engagement between the Government of Canada (GoC) clothing and personal equipment teams, and their supporting industries. The anticipated outcome is to create a better contract environment from conception to delivery of critical items to our Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members, as well as support continued dialogue between industry and government to work towards consistent delivery of quality products.  

The objectives of this RFI are:

a. To invite supporting industries to identify their interest in attending the forthcoming Virtual Clothing and Personal Equipment Outlook Day on June 10, 2021 at 0900-1300 as detailed in Annex A;

b. To invite supporting industries to ask questions or request topics of interest to be covered at the event. This is not a guarantee that all requests will be accommodated.

c. To ask supporting industries to respond to the questions in Section 7, ahead of the event. Answers provided by respondents will not be published or directly relayed during the Outlook Day.

d. To ask supporting industries or related associations if there is interest in making a short presentation during the event to convey any message to the GoC. This is tentative and is not guaranteed that all requests will be accommodated.
