Description
REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) : Buyback Program (BBP)
SOLICITATION NUMBER: 0D160-24489/A
THIS REQUEST FOR INFORMATION IS FOR: Public Safety Canada (PS)
PURPOSE OF THIS RFI::
The intent of this RFI is to determine the capacities and capabilities that currently exist within the marketplace to deliver on the notional requirements of the envisioned commodity for the BBP.
OVERVIEW:
PS is responsible for the Buyback Program following the prohibition by the Government of Canada (GoC), on May 1, 2020, of over 1,500 models of assault-style firearms and other weapons.
The primary intent of this program is to safely buy back these newly prohibited firearms (NPFs) from society, while offering fair compensation to businesses and lawful owners impacted by the prohibition. As such, PS is currently examining an array of implementation and delivery solutions, including the potential for contracting out workstreams associated with the Program (as currently envisioned):
• Collection and Transportation
• Tracking
• Storage Solutions
• Package Inspection
• Destruction
• Post-Destruction Recycling
