TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM 
WEB-BASED MULTI-CARRIER RATING AND SHIPPING SYSTEM

Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC), of the
Government of Canada (Canada), has a requirement for a hosted
web-based multi-carrier rating and shipping system, which will
be known as the "Transportation Management System" (TMS).  The
TMS must be a Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) system to be
accessed via the Internet in a Software-as-a-Service model.
The TMS project is to provide a secure externally hosted site
that must:
Centrally house all of Canada's courier and freight Standing
Offer Agreement (SOA) rates.
Allow all Federal Government Departments, Agencies and Crown
Corporations listed in Schedules I, I.1, II and III Part I of
the Financial Administration Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. F-11 (Users)
to view all of the SOA rates.  
Provide the user with two functions: the main function must be
for conducting Rate Requests from the SOA rates and the
secondary function must be for the optional Shipping component
for the execution of shipments.
Canada requires the set-up, installation and hosting of the TMS
on the World Wide Web. Canada also requires the license to the
Hosted Licensed Software Subscription Services for the TMS to
allow all authorized users the ability to conduct rating
requests and execute shipments.   It includes all maintenance
and support services. 
The requirement is for an initial term of 3 years, with options
for 2 additional 2-year terms.
The complete description of services is detailed in "Annex 1 -
Statement of Requirement".
The Request For Proposal (RFP) has a security requirement. 
See RFP for further details.
