Each of the eleven (11) Metropolitan Areas, with the exception of the Greater Toronto Area, will have two (2) Regional Individual Standing Offers (RISOs) issued for the sample collection services within its specified Metropolitan Area. Call-ups will be issued based on a right of first refusal ranking methodology, with the highest ranked Offeror being given first consideration.

Call-up will be issued based on a proportional basis such that the lowest ranked Offeror receives the largest predetermined portion of the work; the second lowest-ranked Offeror receives the second largest predetermined portion of the work.
The period of the standing offers will be as of the date of issuance to March 31, 2020. Canada may authorize the use of the Standing Offer beyond its initial period, for three (3) additional one-year option periods.
