This from MERX:
More details in the RFI document here - deadline: 2013-09-16 05:00 PM Eastern Daylight Saving Time EDT.... A Request for Information (RFI) is not a bidding opportunity but an avenue to allow industry to provide information upon a potential requirement. In this case, industry feedback is sought from vendors on their ability to satisfy potential deployed logistics support services for the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) before the issuance of a formal solicitation document.
This RFI is issued by Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) on behalf of the Department of National Defence (DND) to gather information to assist in forming a procurement strategy for supporting naval requirements in various ports around the world. DND has a requirement to obtain deployed support for the RCN in foreign ports where contracted support is required on an if and when requested basis.
Respondents are encouraged to provide ideas and suggestions on how the eventual solicitation (pricing, evaluation components, work scope, etc.) might be structured.
Note that at this time, there is no firm requirement for procurement. A subsequent solicitation will be issued once a requirement for procurement has been finalized ....
