AI Contract Overview

The Icebreaker Collaboration Effort (ICE Pact) is a trilateral initiative between Canada, Finland, and the United States aimed at enhancing economic and security cooperation in polar regions through coordinated workforce development in shipbuilding and ship repair, particularly for advanced ice-capable vessels. This Request for Information (RFI) seeks to gather market insights on the ability of North American and international providers to design, develop, and deliver specialized training programs that address critical labor shortages in skilled trades, STEM fields, and leadership roles essential to the industry. The goal is to establish a standardized, trilateral training curriculum, a common micro-credentialing system, and expertise-exchange programs that can be scaled across geographic and regulatory boundaries. Respondents are asked to detail existing training models, technical competencies, learning environments, including labs and simulation-based platforms, and their alignment with national accreditation frameworks, while also identifying future skill demands driven by polar operations, emerging technologies, and regulatory changes. The inquiry specifically seeks information on the availability of qualified instructors, scalable delivery methods—including in-person, virtual, and blended formats—and the capacity of organizations to operate across Canada, the United States, Europe, and globally. All responses must be submitted via email by June 30, 2026, using Annex A, the official Response Questionnaire, in either Microsoft Word or PDF format, and must include a designated primary contact with full identification details. The RFI explicitly states that no classified or proprietary information should be included, and responses will not be formally evaluated, used to pre-qualify respondents, or lead to immediate procurement. The Government of Canada, through Public Services and Procurement Canada, is using this effort solely for market research, planning, and shaping potential future procurement strategies. Participation is voluntary, and no costs incurred in responding will be reimbursed. The NAICS code for this initiative is 611519, with the place of performance encompassing Canada, the United States, Europe, and worldwide, reflecting the international scope of the ICE Pact. Feedback collected will inform whether and how a future formal solicitation might be structured to support the development of a resilient, interoperable, and trilaterally recognized workforce capable of sustaining long-term icebreaker construction and maintenance capabilities.

Full Description

Background The Icebreaker Collaboration Effort (ICE Pact) is a trilateral agreement between Canada, Finland, and the United States (US) to promote peace and prosperity in polar regions through economic and security cooperation. The goals include strengthening shipbuilding, sharing expertise, and workforce development. The ICE Pact involves trilateral working groups on technical exchange, partnerships, innovation, and joint workforce initiatives. The ICE Pact Working Group on Workforce Development aims to address shared labour shortages and workforce challenges, including the need to develop talent in skilled trades, Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields, and leadership positions essential for designing and building advanced, ice-capable vessels. The group is working toward mutual objectives, such as a standardized training curriculum, a common micro-credential system, and expertise-exchange programs to strengthen and grow a skilled workforce. RFI Purpose The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to inform industry about the proposed scope of work for an upcoming requirement, and to solicit feedback, including comments, concerns, and alternative recommendations on the capacity of the North American and international markets to design, develop, and deliver specialized training that meets shipbuilding and ship repair industry needs. This includes input on training delivery models, facilities, instructor qualifications, and scalability. Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) is seeking to identify qualified contractors capable of developing standardized training curricula, a common micro-credential system, and expertise-exchange programs to help strengthen and expand the skilled workforce in the shipbuilding industry. Disclaimer This RFI is issued for information gathering and planning purposes only. It does not constitute a solicitation, a commitment to procure, or a commitment to fund any initiative. Responses to this RFI will not be used to pre-qualify respondents or limit participation in any future Request for Proposal (RFP). Submissions will not be formally evaluated. However, elements of the feedback received may be used to refine draft documents should Canada proceed with a future procurement. Canada will not reimburse any costs incurred in preparing a response to this RFI. RFI Key Objectives The objectives of this request for information are the following: 1. Identify the depth and breadth of the North American and International market’s ability to design, develop, and deliver specialized training programs tailored to the skills required in shipbuilding and ship repair—particularly in support of advanced, ice-capable vessel construction. 2. Gather information on existing training curricula, micro-credential systems, certification frameworks, and hands-on learning approaches that could be adapted or integrated into a trilateral, standardized workforce development model. 3. Understand the market’s capability to deliver training through various modalities (e.g., in-person, virtual, blended, simulation-based), and assess the availability of training facilities, equipment, and technology. 4. Determine the availability of qualified instructors, subject matter experts, and training organizations with experience in skilled trades, STEM fields, and/or leadership development specific to shipbuilding and ship repair environments. 5. Examine the ability to scale existing training programs to support national and trilateral workforce needs, and to adapt content to different learner groups, geographic contexts, and evolving workforce requirements. 6. Identify challenges, risks, and considerations related to implementing a common training curriculum, such as certification standards, labour mobility, intellectual property, and regulatory requirements, and gather recommendations for mitigation. 7. Inform future procurement options and strategies: collect market insights to help determine whether further procurement is feasible or desirable, and if so, which procurement approaches, scopes, or partnership models may be most effective. Scope of Information Requested Respondents are asked to complete Annex A, ‘Response Questionnaire,’ and submit it either in MS Word or PDF format. The questionnaire is organized into nine sections. Responses should focus on: 1. Icebreaker specific skilled trades and STEM occupations. 2. Required technical competencies, laboratories, and learning environments. 3. Alignment with national training and accreditation frameworks in each country. 4. Work-integrated learning models relevant to icebreaker programs. 5. Anticipated future skills driven by polar operations, new technologies, and regulatory requirements. 6. Security: No classified or controlled information is requested. Do not include sensitive or proprietary data. Instructions for respondents 1. Respondents must submit all responses by email to the address identified in the Contact Information section of this RFI. Responses sent to any other address or by any other method may not be accepted. 2. All responses must be received by June 30, 2026. Late submissions may not be considered. 3. Respondents must identify a primary point of contact in their response and include their name, title, organization, email address, and telephone number. 4. Any changes or amendments to this RFI will be communicated through CanadaBuys. Respondents are responsible for monitoring the posting regularly for updates. 5. All enquiries must be submitted by email to the address identified in the Contact Information section. Only questions seeking clarification of the RFI content or the feedback being requested will be addressed.
