The purpose of this amendment is to Change the closing date of the solicitation.

Conservation and Protection (C&P) has a requirement for aerial surveillance services which together provide the capability for covert and overt operations.  These services must include: 

• Bases of Operations,
• Aircraft Capabilities,
• Surveillance Sensor Suite,
• 360° Search Radar,
• Electro Optic/Infrared System,
• Navigation,
• Real-Time Flight Following Capabilities,
• Video and still colour photography,

• Night photography System linked to still colour camera,
• Communications,
• Aircraft Integrated Data Management System,
• Land-Based Data Management System,
• Giving expert witness testimony,
• Service Support Requirements, and
• Project Management Plan.
In addition to the legislative compliance listed above, aerial surveillance services under this contract may be extended to other government departments (OGDs) and agencies (e.g. Department of National Defence, Environment and Climate Change Canada, Canada Border Services Agency, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and Transport Canada) to cover the deterrence of illegal activities, intelligence gathering and emergency response.
Conservation & Protection may require additional longer and/or medium range aircraft and additional base(s) of operation to meet increased operational requirements. C&P will negotiate with the Contractor and PSPC on cost, start of services, and location of the aircraft.
The period of any resulting contract will be from date of contract award to March 31, 2024 (including a transition period estimated between 6 to 12 months from the start of the contract). There are options to extend the term of the contract by up to 2 additional period(s); the first for 3 years, and the second for 2 years, under the same terms and conditions.
The national security exceptions provided for in the trade agreements have been invoked; therefore, this procurement is excluded from all of the obligations of all the trade agreements.
