Indigenous suppliers for small vessels to Canadian federal agencies.
Canada is seeking suppliers to build and supply Rigid Hull Inflatable Boats (RHIB), Aluminum Vessels (AV), and Fibre Reinforced Plastic (FRP) Vessels to various Federal Departments and Agencies on an as-needed basis. This Request for Supply Arrangements (RFSA) will establish a list of qualified suppliers, both Indigenous and Non-Indigenous, organized by vessel stream. Indigenous companies must submit offers under this specific RFSA (E60MC-240001-B1), while general industry submits under a separate RFSA (E60MC-240001-A1). The resulting supply arrangement will cover a range of small vessels including barges, crew boats, workboats, pilot boats, survey ships, research vessels, safety craft, lifeboats, military watercraft, utility landing craft, coast guard boats, fishery patrol boats, and personal watercraft.
