TITLE:  REMINGTON GUN PARTS, REGINA, SK

REQUIREMENT
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police has a requirement for the
supply and delivery of Remington 
gun parts for the Armourer Section in Regina, Saskatchewan.

SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police use these parts for law
enforcement applications and are subject to use and abuse not
generally encountered with standard hunting/commercial products.
 As such, only factory law enforcement parts are used to
alleviate malfunctions and wear that can adversely affect the
performance and safety of the firearm.

Currently the RCMP has approximately 5000 Remington Shotguns in
service and must use factory law enforcement parts to repair
these firearms, to eliminate potential liability issues from
after market parts.  The RCMP only purchased genuine factory law
enforcement parts where available.  

LIMITED TENDERING REASONS
Refer to SM 5.002 (d) Only one supplier, person, or firm is
capable of performing the contract.

AIT ARTICLE 506
12) to ensure compatibility with existing products, to recognize
exclusive rights, such as exclusive licenses, copyright and
patent rights, or to maintain specialized products that must be
maintained by the manufacturer or its representative.
NAFTA in accordance with Article 1016: Limited Tendering
Procedures, 2 (d),
For additional deliveries by the original supplier that are
intended as either replacement parts or continuing services for
existing supplies, services or installations, where a change of
supplier would compel the Department to procure equipment or
services not meeting requirements of interchangeability with
already existing equipment or services.
GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS REGULATIONS EXEMPTION
The Government Contract Regulations (GCR) require the
competitive soliciting of bids before any contract is entered
into.  However, contracts may be entered into without soliciting
bids when:
(d) Only one supplier, person, or firm is capable of performing
the contract.

PERIOD OF STANDING OFFER:  For a period of one year from date of
award plus an additional TWO (2) one year options.

ESTIMATED VALUE - $1,600,000.00 Cdn, GST included

CLOSING DATE AND TIME FOR WRITTEN SUPPLIER RESPONSES CHALLENGING

You are hereby notified that the government intends to negotiate

questions concerning this requirement, contact the contracting
officer identified above.

An Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN) allows departments and
agencies to post a notice, for no less than fifteen (15)
calendar days, indicating to the supplier community that it
intends to award a good, service or construction contract to a
pre-identified contractor. If no other supplier submits, on or
before the closing date, a Statement of Capabilities that meets
the requirements set out in the ACAN, the contracting authority
may then proceed with the award.  However, should a Statement of
Capabilities be found to meet the requirements set out in the
ACAN, then the contracting authority will proceed to a full
tendering process.

Suppliers who consider themselves fully qualified and available
to provide the services/goods described herein, may submit a
statement of capabilities in writing to the contact person
identified in this Notice on or before the closing date of this
Notice. The statement of capabilities must clearly demonstrate
how the supplier meets the advertised requirements.

The PWGSC file number, the contracting officer's name and the
closing date of the ACAN must appear on the outside of the
envelope in block letters or, in the case of a facsimile
transmission, on the covering page.

The Crown retains the right to negotiate with suppliers on any
procurement.

Documents may be submitted in either official language of Canada.
