Unfortunately not, since the government has decided to hide behind SAP, a shame in my books. There used to be a time when these were all public and forward-facing, but sadly not anymore.
Totally. You'd think that with the "Buy Canadian" initiatives they would make it accessable to the average Canadian, especially with the partnership opportunities being advantageous to foreign companies. But Canadians don't know if they can offer something to a procurement project if they can't read them.
Tangential to this, but in relation to ACV(W), LUV COTS, LUV MOTS: with the procurement numbers we're seeing - does this imply anything about the Federal Government's risk assessment of the next 30 years? Some of these numbers feel unprecedented - on the order of thousands of LAVs, thousands of LUVs, UOR for 50 tanks by 2030 plus however many in the field by the end, and 50 MCAVs by 2030.
Frankly it makes me anxious, because the size and immediacy of it imply that mechanized warfare somewhere is either on the horizon, or enough of a risk that the Forces are crash-rearming.
Is there a publically accessable way to read the entire RFI?

Yea, I remember them being more easily read back in the day. Guess I need to incorporate so I can read the whole shebang.
How I started lol. I wouldn't be here id I didnt have the ability to explore things freely. Shame that a lot of resources are going this way.
