    Amendment #002 is raised to add Indigenous Participation Component (IPC) questions, provide updated timeline to the NVD procurement process and to address questions raised during the RFI process.
    
    
    Amendment #001 is raised to correct the Preferred Response Time on this notice to match the date in the RFI, to extend an invitation for One on Ones and provide additional information regarding an Industry Day presentation.
    
    Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) is requesting Industry information and feedback in support of the Monocular and Binocular Night Vision Devices (MNVD & BNVD) requirement of the Night Vision System Modernization (NVSM) project.
    
    The Department of National Defence (DND) has a requirement to acquire and support Night Vision Systems.  The three core capabilities required are: Night Vision Devices (NVD) including monocular NVDs, binocular NVDs, thermal fusion NVDs, and augmented reality NVDs; Hand Held Thermal Imagers (HHTI) with long range and medium range; and Laser Aiming Devices (LAD).
    This RFI is specific to the MNVDs and BNVDs.
    
    As the project progresses towards a potential formal RFP process, this Request for Information (RFI) will provide a continuous single point of official communication with industry and allow the project to use the RFI process for multiple purposes such as:
    
    - to collaborate with industry on the procurement strategy, Industrial and Technological Benefits and Value Proposition strategy, and technical requirements; 
    
    - obtain information regarding off-the-shelf technology, indicative costing, warranty information, and sustainment concepts; 
    
    - answer questions from industry to ensure all interested participants receive the same information; 
    
    - seek comments and feedback from industry; 
    
    - to provide project schedule updates; and 
    
    - announce potential engagement activities (as required) such as Industry Day Events and One-on-one meetings. 
    
    See attached documents for further information.
    
    This is neither a call for tender nor a Request for Proposal (RFP), and no agreement or contract for the procurement of the equipment and / or services stated herein will be entered into solely as a result of this RFI. This announcement does not constitute a commitment by Canada. Canada does not intend to award a contract on the basis of the notice or otherwise pay for the information solicited. Any and all expenses incurred by industry in pursuing this opportunity, including the provision of information and potential visits, are at industry's sole risk and expense.
    
    Any discussions on this subject with project staff representing DND or PWGSC, or any other Government of Canada representative, or other personnel involved in project activities, shall not be construed as an offer to purchase or as commitment by DND, PWGSC or Government of Canada as a whole. 
    
    Although the documents / information / data collected may be provided as commercial-in-confidence and will not be provided to a third party outside of Canada, Canada reserves the right to use the information to assist them in drafting performance specifications and for budgetary purposes.
     
    Requirements are subject to change, which may be as a result of information provided in response to this RFI. Suppliers are advised that any information submitted to Canada in response to this RFI may, or may not, be used by Canada in the development of the potential subsequent RFP. The issuance of this RFI does not create an obligation for Canada to issue a subsequent RFP, and does not bind Canada legally or otherwise, to enter into any agreement or to accept or reject any suggestions.
    
    Participation in this RFI is not a condition or prerequisite for the participation to any RFP.
    
    Respondents to this RFI should identify any submitted information that is to be considered as either company confidential, proprietary or if the response contains controlled goods.
    
    Delivery Date: Above-mentioned
    
    Preferred response time: 30 September, 2023 (Comments, responses and questions will be accepted throughout the RFI period)
