W8472-225864 Dive Tender Replacement Project RFI

PROCUREMENT OVERVIEW

The opportunity involves the Dive Tender Replacement (DTR) project, initiated by the Department of National Defence (DND) in collaboration with Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC). The primary objective is to replace the existing fleet of Granby and Sechelt-class vessels used by the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) for diving operations. The new vessels will support a full range of diving tasks essential for naval operations and public safety, resembling traditional 24-crew diving support vessels. This project falls under the small vessel construction component of the National Shipbuilding Strategy (NSS), specifically Pillar 2.

ISSUING ORGANIZATION

The issuing organization is the Department of Public Works and Government Services (PSPC), located in Gatineau, Quebec, Canada. The primary contact for this RFI is Nina Caldwell, who can be reached at [email protected].

Summary

Bidders interested in the Dive Tender Replacement Project should assess their capabilities in marine construction, particularly for small vessels, and ensure compliance with the National Shipbuilding Strategy. Understanding the operational requirements for diving support vessels will be crucial for proposal preparation.
