Request for Information - Defence Supply Chain Resiliency

The objective of this RFI is to gather comprehensive intelligence—thoroughly understanding the landscape of defence and commercial supply chains—to inform our Defence Supply Chain Resilience Strategy.

The Defence Supply Chain (DSC) converts materiel into military power. This means the DSC is a key strategic enabler, at home and abroad, of the warfighting forces necessary to detect, deter and defeat threats to Canada.

Given all the challenges that threaten supply chains, the DSC must be made resilient in order to ensure CAF's materiel requirements are met. It must withstand, recover, adapt—to continue to deliver the right materiel, at the right place, in the right condition, and in the right timeframes regardless of scenario. This is the vision that motivates the creation of a new Defence Supply Chain Resilience Strategy.
