Trade Agreement: NAFTA/AIT/Canada FTAs with Peru/Colombia/Panama Tendering Procedures: Attachment: None Non-Competitive Procurement Strategy: Exclusive Rights Comprehensive Land Claim Agreement: No Vendor Name and Address: VIH Aerospace INC. 1962 Canso Rd North Saanich British Columbia Canada V8L5V5 Nature of Requirements: Night Vision Equipment M2989-151190 Armstrong, Wendy Telephone No. - (604) 775-7691 Fax No. - (604) 775-7526 An ACAN is a public notice indicating to the supplier community that a department or agency intends to award a contract for goods, services or construction to a pre-identified supplier, thereby allowing other suppliers to signal their interest in bidding, by submitting a statement of capabilities. If no supplier submits a statement of capabilities that meets the requirements set out in the ACAN, on or before the closing date stated in the ACAN, the contracting officer may then proceed with the award to the pre-identified supplier. Definition of the requirement The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) has a requirement to modify (quantity 1) Helicopter to NVG compatible status. Delivery by September 14, 2014. Value: up to $46K Reason for Single Tendering: All helicopter pilots across Canada are now using Night Vision Goggles (NVG) when flying at night. These goggles are attached to the pilot's helmets and are a "drop down" feature when they are required. The NVG basically turns "night into day" and is a huge safety feature for night time patrols and night callouts. The cockpit instrument lighting in the helicopter produces a glare on the windshield that renders the NVG to be basically useless and it becomes a hindrance and hazard. To prevent this glare there is a requirement for filters on the appropriate instrument lights which allows the pilot to utilize the NVG safely and efficiently. This NVG Cockpit Certification is a Transport Canada requirement and regulation that must be completed to operate at night with Night Vision Goggles. Vancouver Island Helicopters is the only company that has the authorization from Transport Canada to provide the goods and services to certify the aircraft and holds the Supplemental Type Certificate (STC). Criteria for assessment of the Statement of Capabilities Any interested supplier must demonstrate by way of a statement of capabilities that it can meet the certification and is authorized by Transport Canada to certify the aircraft. Applicability of the trade agreement(s) to the procurement This procurement is subject to the following trade agreement(s) Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT) North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Delivery Date: Above-mentioned You are hereby notified that the government intends to negotiate with one firm only as identified above. Should you have any 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.
