Description

This is not a bid solicitation. This RFI will not result in the award of any contract.

The purpose of this RFI is:

1. To inform vendors of the scope of DFO/CHS requirement for multibeam surveys conducted using Uncrewed Surface Vessels (USV).
2. To seek feedback from the industry on capability to support the creation of an intended Request for Proposal (RFP). This includes the desire for a better understanding of:
a. Industry capability and constraints (e.g., USV characteristics, capacities, limitations)
b. Requested adjustments/changes to the requirements (Statement of Work, Basis of Payment, and Evaluation Criteria) if any, to seek a broad participation of bidders and to ensure services can be rendered in an acceptable manner.
3. To assess potential bidders’ ability to meet the technical requirements of the draft Statement of Work (SOW; see Annex A) and understanding of draft Basis of Payment (Annex B).
4. To understand the level of interest, capacity, and experience in the marketplace in delivering such a requirement;
5. To establish a formal communication channel with industry that will remain open until a formal RFP is released.
