This method of supply is particularly useful in acquiring large volumes of frequently ordered goods or services, when the total volume or value of goods or level of services that may be required by all customers can be estimated beforehand, but it is not possible at the outset to identify the exact requirements for any given customer at a specific time in the future. Inasmuch as DSS foresees, during the period from _____ up to and including _____ a potential need for goods or services or both as more particularly stated in the attached, you are hereby invited to provide DSS with a standing offer. If you wish to submit an offer, you are required to do so on the enclosed form. Please note that the quantity of goods, level of services and estimated expenditure specified in the attached are only an approximation of requirements given in good faith. The making of a standing offer by you shall not constitute an agreement by the Crown or any designated user to order any or all of the said goods or services. The designated user may make one or several call-ups against a standing offer, each such call-up constituting an acceptance of said standing offer for that part of the said goods or services as are described in the call-up.

Remarks – Recommended Use of SACC Item
Clause M2000T is cancelled because it has been replaced by a Mandatory Certification, see Part 5 - Certifications, Part 7 - Standing Offer and Resulting Contract Clauses and a new Annex titled Federal Contractors Program for Employment Equity - Certification of the Request for Standing Offer (RFSO) Template, to be used for requirements where an individual call-up limitation at $1M and above will be allowed. This certification is mandatory for Departments or Agencies which are subject to the Federal Contractors Program (FCP).
Background - In June 2013, a streamlined FCP for employment equity was introduced which changed the obligations of both Offerors and Standing Offer Authorities in the application of the program. The threshold for the application of the FCP has been increased to $1M for an offeror, subject to the program, meaning that where a call-up limitation of $1M and above will be allowed, to have an Agreement to Implement Employment Equity (AIEE) in place with HRSDC -Labour. Once an offeror, subject to the program, is issued a standing offer with a call-up limitation of $1M or more, it must honour the AIEE as an on-going obligation and not simply for the period of the standing offer. Offerors who do not comply with the FCP or if their AIEE becomes invalid will be declared ineligible by HRSDC -Labour and their names will appear on the " FCP Limited Eligibility to Bid" list. In addition, an ineligible offeror should not be issued future standing offers or awarded future contracts, regardless of the value of the procurement.

In the event a supplier accepts call-ups which exceed the current financial limitation, DSS will remind all government departments that the Department of Supply and Services is the sole contracting authority for temporary help and all departments will be requested to cease to make any further call-ups. Furthermore, failure of the supplier to adequately control the level of its financial limitation may result in the deletion of the firm from the source list for the following year.

A "total composite weighted mean Group I hourly rate" will be established. It shall be calculated as follows: 3.1 Calculate the mean weighted rate for each item (1-16 inclusive). 3.2 The total hours purchased by the federal government in the National Capital Region for the period _____ - _____ for each item will be used for weighting. 3.3 Once the mean weighted rates for each item are determined, their aggregate will be the "total composite weighted mean Group I hourly rate". 4. The company submitted rate for each item (1-16 inclusive) weighted as per subparagraph 3.2 will be established. A supplier's aggregate weighted hourly rate for Group I will be calculated. 5. In the event that a supplier's weighted composite Group I hourly rate exceeds the "total composite weighted mean Group I hourly rate" by 5 percent or more, the supplier may receive a standing offer based on the ceiling hourly rates quoted but with an estimated limitation of expenditure representing 50 percent of their previous year business volume plus the normal allowance for volume and pricing increases. Subsequent amendments would be negotiated based on the approach described under the clause entitled Financial Limitations. N.B. For suppliers who failed to bid on all 16 items, the rate assessment would be based on an adjusted total composite weighted mean Group I hourly rate. 6. The remaining categories (other than Group I) will not be subject to a mandatory rate assessment at the time of evaluation of the proposals received. However, in the event that amendments to standing offers are requested, negotiations would be entered into for all categories.

Legal text for SACC item
- Financial Capability Requirement: The Offeror must have the financial capability to fulfill this requirement. To determine the Offeror's financial capability, the Standing Offer Authority may, by written notice to the Offeror, require the submission of some or all of the financial information detailed below during the evaluation of offers. The Offeror must provide the following information to the Standing Offer Authority within fifteen (15) working days of the request or as specified by the Standing Offer Authority in the notice:
- Audited financial statements, if available, or the unaudited financial statements (prepared by the Offeror's outside accounting firm, if available, or prepared in-house if no external statements have been prepared) for the Offeror's last three fiscal years, or for the years that the Offeror has been in business if this is less than three years (including, as a minimum, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Retained Earnings, the Income Statement and any notes to the statements).
- If the date of the financial statements in (a) above is more than five months before the date of the request for information by the Standing Offer Authority, the Offeror must also provide, unless this is prohibited by legislation for public companies, the last quarterly financial statements (consisting of a Balance Sheet and a year-to-date Income Statement), as of two months before the date on which the Standing Offer Authority requests this information.
- If the Offeror has not been in business for at least one full fiscal year, the following must be provided:
- the opening Balance Sheet on commencement of business (in the case of a corporation, the date of incorporation); and
- the last quarterly financial statements (consisting of a Balance Sheet and a year-to-date Income Statement) as of two months before the date on which the Standing Offer Authority requests this information.
- A certification from the Chief Financial Officer or an authorized signing officer of the Offeror that the financial information provided is complete and accurate.

- If the Offeror is a joint venture, the financial information required by the Standing Offer Authority must be provided by each member of the joint venture.
- If the Offeror is a subsidiary of another company, then any financial information in 1. (a) to (e) above required by the Standing Offer Authority must be provided by the ultimate parent company. Provision of parent company financial information does not satisfy the requirement for the provision of the financial information of the Offeror, and the financial capability of a parent cannot be substituted for the financial capability of the Offeror itself unless an agreement by the parent company to sign a Parental Guarantee, as drawn up by Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC), is provided with the required information.
- Financial Information Already Provided to PWGSC: The Offeror is not required to resubmit any financial information requested by the Standing Offer Authority that is already on file at PWGSC with the Contract Cost Analysis, Audit and Policy Directorate of the Policy, Risk, Integrity and Strategic Management Sector, provided that within the above-noted time frame:
It is the Offeror's responsibility to confirm with the Standing Offer Authority that this information is still on file with PWGSC.
- the Offeror identifies to the Standing Offer Authority in writing the specific information that is on file and the requirement for which this information was provided; and
- the Offeror authorizes the use of the information for this requirement.
- Other Information: Canada reserves the right to request from the Offeror any other information that Canada requires to conduct a complete financial capability assessment of the Offeror.
- Confidentiality: If the Offeror provides the information required above to Canada in confidence while indicating that the disclosed information is confidential, then Canada will treat the information in a confidential manner as permitted by the Access to Information Act, R.S., 1985, c. A-1, Section 20(1) (b) and (c).
- Security: In determining the Offeror's financial capability to fulfill this requirement, Canada may consider any security the Offeror is capable of providing, at the Offeror's sole expense (for example, an irrevocable letter of credit from a registered financial institution drawn in favour of Canada, a performance guarantee from a third party or some other form of security, as determined by Canada).
