    REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) PROCESS - An RFI document was posted on Buyandsell.gc.ca between October 10, 2013 and November 6, 2013 to inform potential Bidders of a DND requirement for HCPs and to obtain Industry input and feedback regarding the draft requirement definition and constraints pertaining to this requirement.
    
    One-on-One Industry Meetings:
    Following the RFI, Canada met with Industry participants individually between November 25 and December 4, 2013 to listen to their concerns, recommendations and solutions.
