SUBJECT - Notice related to a procurement process for a Light Utility Vehicle (LUV) fleet for the Department of National Defence (DND)

POTENTIAL REQUIREMENT - The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) requires a protected,lightweight multi-role and highly mobile ground vehicle in order to conduct multiple battlefield roles and tasks across the spectrum of conflict. This includes, Combat roles, Command Support roles, Combat Service Support roles, Individual Training and Training support tasks.
The current Light Utility Vehicle Wheeled (LUVW) fleet is comprised of a Standard Military Pattern (SMP) Geländewagen (G-Wagon) and Militarized Commercial Off-The-Shelf (MilCOTS) Silverado truck. This fleet has been in service since 2003, has reached its end-of-useful life and has operational limitations, safety deficiencies, and no longer meets Canada's Strong, Secure,
Engaged (SSE) Defence Policy and Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) objectives.

BACKGROUND - For a successful replacement of the existing aged MilCOTS Silverado fleet and G-Wagon fleet, industry has been engaged in a consultative process as the first step in this procurement process. The consultation process included the following three activities:
- a Request for Information (RFI) W8476-206313/A, issued on May 4th, 2020 and closed on July 15th, 2020. The RFI document can be consulted on the following web page: https://buyandsell.gc.ca/cds/public/2020/05/01/869ac04462c869ac8dfaac0aaf8c2006/ABES.PROD.PW__BL.B326.E27752.EBSU000.PDF;

- One-on-one sessions which took place from 27 May to 3 June 2020. The purpose of those meetings was to provide both Canada and Industry participants the opportunity to ask questions and obtain clarifications.

Canada has conducted the industry engagement in order to ensure a good understanding of the LUV requirement and obtain Industry's input and feedback regarding the technical and sustainement preliminary draft requirements as well as aanswers to a list of questions pertaining to the technical, sustainement and ITB requirments. The information gathered from industry in response to the RFI will assist in the definition of the procurement strategy and the development of an eventual bid solicitation.
