E60PQ-140003/B - Product Category 3 - Metal Filing and Storage Cabinets

This NPP is issued pursuant to PWGSC Supply Arrangement (SA) # E60PQ-140003/B and covers a requirement from the following Product Category(ies) of the SA:

Product Category 3 - Metal Filing and Storage Cabinets

Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) requires the acquisition, delivery, and installation of 150 Personal Towers to retrofit several CIC buildings. 

The contract will cover the purchase and delivery of 150 Personal Towers that will be delivered at the 70 Crémazie Building, 70 Crémazie, Gatineau, QC, J8Y 3P2, no later than 7 March 2019 during normal working hours. 

The installation of the 150 Personal Towers delivered at the 70 Crémazie Building, 70 Crémazie, Gatineau, QC, J8Y 3P2, will be done in a phased approach and will not coincide with the delivery date. Installation will be done in different CIC buildings in the National Capital Region at different times. CIC (not the winning bidder) will be responsible to pre-positioned the number of units to be installed at the required location in the NCR. The Procurement Authority will provide the winning bidder the location, the number of Personal Towers to be installed and timing of the installation at least 5 days in advance of the requirement. For planning purpose: a minimum of 20 Personal Towers will be installed at a time. Installation cost for the Personal Towers delivered at 70 Crémazie will therefore be a firm unit price and invoices will be submitted separately every time an installation is completed.

This NPP covers a requirement to be solicited amongst the General Stream of Suppliers (SA holders).
The bid solicitation is also open to suppliers who are not Supply Arrangement (SA) holders. In order for new suppliers to bid on this solicitation, the new supplier must first qualify for a SA. The process to qualify for a SA is detailed in RFSA # E60PQ-140003/B and can be found on the Government Electronic Tendering Service (GETS - https://buyandsell.gc.ca/policy-and-guidelines/standard-acquisition-clauses-and-conditions-manual). Canada is not required to delay the award of a resulting contract pending the evaluation of an arrangement and issuance of a SA by the PWGSC Supply Arrangement Authority.
