In-Service Support

Objective

The Naval Shipbuilding Projects Office (NSPO) intends to establish an In-Service Support (ISS) Contract that combines the Arctic/Offshore Patrol Ships’ and Joint Support Ships’ ISS requirements into a single, 35-year through-life contract.

Requirements

The Project Management Offices (PMOs) for the Arctic/Offshore Patrol Ships and the Joint Support Ships will deliver two new classes to the Royal Canadian Navy starting in 2018.  It was originally intended that each PMO would compete their In-Service Support contracts as part of their acquisition solicitation in single Request for Proposals, as described in the Canadian Armed Forces In-Service Support Contracting Framework.  However, the National Shipbuilding Procurement Strategy resulted in the requirement to compete refit, repair and maintenance (In-Service Support work) separate from the respective build contracts.  Industry supports a single, combined (AOPS and JSS), through-life In-Service Support Contract approach.

Objective

Joint or Common Contract for Ammunition, Explosives and Munitions Scrap Disposal and Demilitarization services.

Requirements

The Canadian Armed Forces have a requirement for a capability to demilitarize Ammunition and Explosives and Aids to Production that have reached the end of their service life and are being declared: life expired, obsolete or surplus to requirements or have deteriorated to such a condition that they are deemed unsafe or unsuitable for further use (yet still safe for transportation and storage) in addition to a backlog of Munitions Scrap that continues to accumulate as a result of Range Clearance and Contracted Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) activities.  These items must be fully demilitarized before they may be safely released for final material scrap disposal to scrap material recyclers or proper disposal of hazardous waste.  Due to the virtually insurmountable challenges of shipping these items to the US and the prohibitive cost of shipping overseas, these services must be performed in Canada.

Replace Existing Systems

Objective

The upgrade of current infrastructure will provide a greater capacity for Munitions Experimental and Test Centre (METC) to conduct ammunition S3 testing in support of the growing Canadian Armed Forces demand for these types of tests. Additionally, acquiring new facilities will broaden the scope of S3 testing within METC and increase its capacity to conduct timely and cost effective testing.

Requirements

In order to have a fully encompassing range of ammunition S3 testing, METC will procure new facilities and equipment to meet established test requirements. This would include updates and enhancement on current METC infrastructure and trail sites. Moreover, it would upgrade current METC trial site installations which have some limitations in their capacity to meet client needs with regards to standard STANAG MOPI Tests. This will ensure proper capabilities for an appropriate response to the ongoing and future weapon and munitions replacement testing.

Preliminary Estimate

• $20 million to $49 million

Anticipated Timeline
