Defence releases latest future-focused guide for industry
News Release
May 26, 2016 – Ottawa – National Defence / Canadian Armed Forces
The Department of National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces today released the latest version of the online Defence Acquisition Guide (DAG), a compendium of possible equipment and service purchases over the next 20 years.
The DAG is geared toward helping industry and potential bidders on Defence contracts to establish their own long-term planning in line with possible future opportunities. It is important to note that all of the projects are subject to government approval and may change over time.
Listing projected timelines, contract values, and contacts, the DAG is updated annually, and fulfills the commitment in the Government of Canada's Defence Procurement Strategy to ensure purchases of defence equipment and services strengthen Canadian industry and meet Defence requirements in a timely and responsive way.
The DAG is constantly evolving to reflect the changing needs of the Canadian Armed Forces. Following the Defence Policy Review, the 2017 DAG will be extensively updated in line with Canada’s new Defence Policy.
