Summary
The purpose of this Request for Supply Arrangement (RFSA) is to establish a list of pre-qualified vessels and vessel charters capable of performing at-sea projects / missions as they relate to different ocean science operations (e.g. oceanography, marine mammal studies, hydrography, etc.) and fisheries science (e.g., stock assessment, biodiversity, habitat management, etc.). The projects / missions at-sea will vary in requirements as they relate to different ocean and fishery operations. The requirements for vessel and vessel charters will also vary depending on the location of the projects / mission(s) (e.g. Atlantic, Pacific, Inland and Arctic regions) including both near-shore and offshore missions within Canadian waters as the need arises.
