Requirement: The Department of National Defence has a requirement to procure four (4) new Strategic Airlift Aircraft, sufficient to provide requisite strategic airlift to enable the operational flexibility to permit the conduct of multiple tasks in supporting domestic and deployed operations. You are hereby notified that the Crown intends to solicit a bid for four strategic airlift aircraft and negotiate with The Boeing Company, the only known source of supply capable of meeting the technical mandatory requirements. There will be a requirement to provide Industrial and Regional Benefits equivalent to 100 percent of the contract value. The Technical Mandatory requirements are listed below. Suppliers, in addition to submitting a statement of capabilities, shall be prepared to demonstrate that their proposed aircraft meets the Technical Mandatory capabilities through a Test Flight if so requested by Canada. The Aircraft: shall have sufficient unrefuelled range & payload (6,482 km/3500nm with 39,000 kg/85,980 lbs) to support domestic and internationally deployed operations; shall be capable of supporting Canadian Forces (CF) domestic and global operations, in areas that may pose a threat to transport aircraft.

Government Contract Regulations and Limited Tendering Reason: Research indicates that the Boeing C-17 Globemaster III is the only aircraft that meets the technical mandatory requirements above. Therefore, in accordance with the Government Contract Regulations (GCR) exception, Part 1, Section 6, (d) only one person or firm is believed to be capable of performing the contract. 5.

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.
