    NATURE OF REQUIREMENT:
    
    The Government of Canada requires the provision of a full range
    of graphic, web, and exhibit and display design services to meet
    the needs of the Government of Canada on an "as and when
    requested basis".
    
    These services will be provided to any Government of Canada
    department, agency or Crown corporation listed in Schedules I,
    I.1, II, and III of the Financial Administration Act, R.S.,
    1985, c. F-11. As a result of this competitive process, Public
    Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) will authorize
    National Master Standing Offers (NMSOs). 
    
    Standing Offers are offers from potential Offerors to provide
    services at prearranged prices, under set terms and conditions,
    on an "as and when requested basis".  No contract exists until a
    call-up against a Standing Offer is issued by the Identified
    User specified herein.  Individual call-ups against this NMSO
    cannot exceed $25,000.00, including GST and HST.
    
    PWGSC anticipates issuing Standing Offers to all fully qualified
    non-Aboriginal Offerors, and all fully qualified Offerors under
    the Set-Aside Program for Aboriginal Business (SPAB) for each
    Category of service.  
    
    Two (2) lists of qualified Offerors (one for Non-Aboriginal and
    Aboriginal firms, and another for solely Aboriginal firms) will
    be established for the provision of graphic design, web design,
    and exhibit and display design services.
    
    If the Offeror is either a joint venture consisting of two or
    more Aboriginal businesses or a joint venture between an
    Aboriginal business and a non-Aboriginal business, the Offeror
    will only be considered for both lists if the Offeror meets all
    of the conditions of the Set Aside Program for Aboriginal
    Business and none of the firms in the joint venture have also
    submitted an offer as a single entity.
    
    The period for making call-ups against the Standing Offer is
    from date of Standing Offer award to August 31, 2015.  If the
    Standing Offer is authorized for use beyond the initial period,
    the Offeror offers to extend its offer for one additional two
    year period, from September 1, 2015 to August 31, 2017. under
    the same conditions and at the rates specified in the Standing
    Offer.
    
    The scope of the services covered by the Standing Offers are
    detailed in the attached Annex "A" - Statement of Work.
    
    Offerors must submit a list of names, or other related
    information as needed, pursuant to section 01 of Standard
    Instructions 2006.
    
    A portion of this procurement has been set aside under the
    federal government´s Procurement Strategy for Aboriginal
    Business (PSAB), as detailed in Annex 9.4 of the Supply Manual
    entitled "Requirements for the Set-aside Program for Aboriginal
    Business".  This RFSO is also being used to establish National
    Master Standing Offers (NMSOs) with Aboriginal firms as defined
    under the Set-Aside Program for Aboriginal Business (SPAB).  
    
    Further to Article 1802 of the Agreement on Internal Trade
    (AIT), AIT does not apply to the portion of this procurement set
    aside under the federal government's PSAB.
    
    For services requirements, Offerors in receipt of a pension or a
    lump sum payment must provide the required information as
    detailed in Article 3 of Part 2 of the Request for Standing
    Offers (RFSO).
    
    The requirement is limited to Canadian goods and/or services.
    
    
    PERIOD OF STANDING OFFER:
    
    The period for making call-ups against the Standing Offer is
    from date of Standing Offer award to August 31, 2015.
    
    
    LIMITATION OF CALL-UPS:
    
    Individual call-ups against the Standing Offer must not exceed
    $25,000.00 (Goods and Services Tax or Harmonized Sales Tax
    included).
