Description
Objective
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has a requirement to purchase respiratory protective equipment on an "as and when requested" basis, to support the Criminal Investigations Directorate’s (CID) employees while conducting property searches, which could involve exposure to airborne hazardous substances and/or the handling of contaminated documents.

The CRA will also require the Subject Matter Experts to be made available during regular business hours, in order to answer employee questions regarding the respiratory equipment.
It is the CRA’s intention to award one Contract to fulfill the requirement. The period of the contract will be for two (2) years with two (2) one-year options to extend the period.
The Agency will include a minimum spend commitment of $15,000.00 Canadian (all applicable taxes included) over the entire period of the resulting contract, which includes any exercised option periods.
