a full tendering process on either the government's electronic
tendering service or through traditional means, in order to
award the contract.

If no other supplier submits, on or before the closing date, a
statement of capabilities meeting the requirements set out in
the ACAN, a contract will be awarded to the pre-selected
supplier.

The components are upgrading the existing onboard equipment. The
 actual installation is customized to these vessels. The new 
component upgrades are required to be installed at the same
location as  the existing equipment or components.
Justification for the Pre-Selected Supplier: 

Power Innovations has assisted in the investigation of the
previously installed 5kW "SEAPOWER" 120 VAC, 60Hz systems unit
provided and has identified an acceptable solution.  The
solution includes a higher capacity alternator and inverter. 
During investigations it was determined that the electrical load
at low speeds required the system to handle very high currents
which in turn lead to excessively high equipment temperatures. 
Given the nature of the 47'MLBs' mission, it is important that
these vessels be able to operate for extended periods at low
speed. The Power Innovations solution specifically addresses
this operating condition. Furthermore, Power Innovations Inc
offer a significant refund for the their old equipment.  

The pre-selected supplier has  been identified as the only
supplier capable of meeting the government's requirements, and
link the justification to the applicable exception to soliciting
bids under the Government Contracts Regulations and, if
applicable, the Limited Tendering provisions of the trade
agreements.

Ownership of any Foreground Intellectual Property arising out of
the proposed contract will vest in the Contractor.

Suppliers who consider themselves fully qualified and available
to meet the specified requirements may submit a statement of
capabilities in writing to the Contracting Authority 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 closing date and time for accepting statements of
capabilities is December 31, 2012.
Inquiries and statements of capabilities are to be directed to:
