BACKGROUND

Operation NANOOK 12 is an initiative to train forces at the
tactical level for joint/combined operations in Canada's North
and to facilitate the necessary operational level interaction
and planning should it be required during a real-world
situation.  CANADA COM is the lead planner for the exercise and
is responsible for the provision of a barge to act as a training
aid for the primary training audience to utilize.

length and a minimum of 35 feet wide, and must be capable of
carrying a contractor provided liquid tank with a minimum
capacity of 5,000L and a maximum capacity of 10,000L. The barge
will be required to be towed into position by 17 August 2012
near the Dempster Highway Ferry Crossing on the Mackenzie River,
north of the Tsiigehtic Ferry, Northwest Territories.  It will
be left in place until released no later than 26 August 2012. 

SOURCING STRATEGY

This procurement has been set aside under the federal
government's Set-aside Program for Aboriginal Business (SPAB).
Only Aboriginal businesses as defined in the SPAB are eligible
to challenge the proposed procurement strategy to award the
contract to the named Aboriginal business.  

The Statement of Work is exempt from the provisions of the:
1) World Trade Organization Agreement on Government Procurement
(WTO-AGP), Annex 4
2) North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), Chapter Ten
Annex 1001.2b Paragraph 1, 

however, it is subject to the Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT)
and will therefore be limited to qualified Aboriginal Businesses
located in Western Canada in accordance with Shipbuilding,
Refit, Repair and Modernization Policy (1996-12-19).

You are hereby notified that the government intends to negotiate

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.
