SOLICITATION OF OFFERS EN578-26ISC1 TS13
REQUIREMENT:
The Innovative Solutions Canada Program is an R&D program aimed at procuring, testing and evaluating R&D, pre-commercialized goods and services.
Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) is issuing a Solicitation of Offers (SoO) on behalf of Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) and participating departments, seeking Innovations to address a variety of Problem Statements which reflect the departmental requirements of participating federal departments and agencies.
More specifically ISED is seeking solutions to the Testing Stream Problem Statements and Topics outlined at Section 20, of the SoO. These types of solutions were historically solicited under the Testing Stream of the Innovative Solutions Canada (ISC) Program.
The purpose of this SoO is to create a pool of conditionally qualified suppliers that Canada may select from to address Government of Canada organizations’ requirements. Qualifying into a pool does not guarantee that a contract will be awarded.

TESTING DEPARTMENT: Federal Government Organizations
FUNDING MECHANISM: Contract
ESTIMATED MAXIMUM FUNDING: The estimated maximum funding available for all Contracts resulting from this Call for Proposals is: $20M
Disclosure of this estimated funding is made in good faith and does not commit Canada to award a contract, or to contract for the total estimated funding.
Should fiscal funding no longer be available, Offerors will be notified directly. The Contract Award Process will continue and proposals under contract negotiations will take priority when funding is available.
Multiple contracts could result from this requirement.
MAXIMUM CONTRACT VALUE: The maximum contract value will respect the limits of the maximum per Contract amounts under the initial ISC Contract as follows:
$2,300,000.00 CAD (Applicable Taxes, shipping and Travel and Living expenses are extra, as applicable).
This estimated funding is not a contract guarantee. Conditionally qualified proposals that are matched and selected for contract award may not necessarily receive the total maximum contract value. Individual contract values will be negotiated during the Contract Award Process.

Frequently asked questions, as well as on-going Bidder questions will be answered and may be published in an amendment to the Notice Document.
