Description

The Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) has a requirement to establish a Standing Offer to provide professional services for the design, implementation, review, and maintenance of coastal imaging and habitat classification data and products for all Canadian coasts. The Contractor will use their expertise in coastal imaging, conducting aerial imaging and ground truthing surveys, and processing aerial imagery to produce open-source data products.

The goal is to support DFO in shoreline classification, species, habitat and ecosystem vulnerability, and ocean protection.

Specific goals include completing aerial imaging, stills, video, and ground truthing surveys, characterization and mapping of shoreline attributes, identification and characterization of biologically significant species and habitats, characterization of shoreline and nearshore species and habitats for wave exposure and oil residency indices, database creation and services, and publication of end products and reports.

DFO will benefit from these services by efficiently collecting, processing, analyzing, and documenting data for the Ocean Protection Plan and spill response planning initiatives.

Canada intend to establish one (1) Standing Offer (SO) to a qualified supplier who can provide the services to meet the general needs outlined in the Statement of Work Annex. The period of the Standing Offer will be from date of SO issuance until September 30, 2031.

The Request for Standing Offers (RFSO) is to establish a National Individual Standing Offer for the requirement detailed in the RFSO, to the Identified Users across Canada, excluding locations within Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Quebec, and Labrador that are subject to Comprehensive Land Claims Agreements (CLCAs). Any requirement for deliveries to locations within CLCAs areas within Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Quebec, or Labrador will have to be treated as a separate procurement, outside of the resulting standing offers.

The requirement is subject to World Trade Organization-Agreement on Government Procurement (WTO-AGP), Canada - European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), and the Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA).
