Request for Information (RFI)

M7594-220001/A

This Request for Information (RFI) initiates the Government of Canada’s efforts for small vessel decarbonization. It is part of the Federal Sustainable Development Strategy that sets out the Government of Canada’s sustainable development goals and targets, and outlines the implementation strategies and short-term milestones for achieving them.

This Interdepartmental Marine Fleet Low/Zero-Emission Initiative is part of the Greening Government Strategy to transition to net-zero carbon and climate-resilient operations, while also reducing environmental impacts beyond carbon, including on waste, water and biodiversity. Net-zero means reducing GHG emissions from operations to as close to zero as possible and then balancing out any remaining emissions with an equivalent amount of carbon removal.  

This RFI is neither a call for tender nor a Request for Proposal (RFP). No agreement, procurement tool or contract will be entered into as a result of this RFI. 

The issuance of this RFI is not to be considered in any way a commitment by the Government of Canada, nor as authority to potential respondents to undertake any work that could be charged to Canada.

Participation in this RFI is encouraged, but is not mandatory.  There will be no short-listing of potential suppliers for the purposes of undertaking any future work as a result of this RFI. Similarly, participation in this RFI is not a condition or prerequisite for the participation in any potential subsequent solicitation.
