    NOTICE OF PROPOSED PROCUREMENT (NPP)

    SUPPLY ARRANGEMENTS
    
    IMPORTANT NOTICE TO SUPPLIERS
    
    The Government Electronic Tendering Service on
    Buyandsell.gc.ca/tenders is the sole authoritative source for
    Government of Canada tenders that are subject to trade
    agreements or subject to departmental policies that require
    public advertising of tenders.
    
    Suppliers interested in submitting an arrangement in response to
    this Request for Supply Arrangement (RFSA) solicitation can
    access the RFSA documentation directly from this PWGSC Notice of
    Proposed Procurement (NPP) publication at: 
    https://buyandsell.gc.ca/procurement-data/tenders
    
    Bidders are reminded of the importance of reading the TBIPS bid
    solicitation document carefully before submitting a bid.
    
    SECURITY REQUIREMENT:
    
    Before issuance of an SA the Supplier must hold a valid
    Designated Organization Security (DOS) clearance granted by
    PWGSC CISD.
    
    
    REFRESH NOTICE:
    
    This is the refresh notice for the TBIPS Supply Arrangements. 
    
    The bid submission due dates for the TBIPS refreshes are as
    follows:
    
    Period 1 is 2015-11-06 14:00 EST
    Period 2 is 2016-02-05 14:00 EST
    Period 3 is 2016-03-30 14:00 EDT
    
    
    This RFSA will solicit:
    
    (1) new suppliers to become Suppliers for the Task Based Supply
    Arrangements under the TBIPS Method of Supply; and,
    
    (2) Suppliers who have a SA issued under RFSA EN578-055605/G to
    qualify for additional Categories, Tiers, regions and/or stream
    to be added to its Supply Arrangement.
    
    It is not mandatory for existing suppliers to submit a bid in
    response to this refresh.
    
    BACKGROUND:
    
    
    Existing Suppliers are not required to re-qualify for any
    Categories for which they already have an SA although they must
    otherwise comply with the requirements of the bid solicitation.
    
    
    REFRESH FOR TBIPS is posted on
    https://buyandsell.gc.ca/procurement-data/tenders under
    Solicitation Number EN578-055605/H. 
    
    
    REQUIREMENT:
    
    This solicitation is a Request for Bids to satisfy Canada's
    requirement for the provision of TBIPS to locations throughout
    Canada, excluding any locations in areas subject to any of the
    Comprehensive Land Claims Agreements.
    
    Each bid may result in a Supply Arrangement (SA).  
    
    This procurement vehicle includes seven Streams:
    
    Stream 1: Application Services 
    Stream 2: Geomatics Services
    Stream 3: IM/IT Services 
    Stream 4: Business Management Services
    Stream 5: Project Management Services
    Stream 6: Cyber Protection Services
    Stream 7: Telecommunications Services
    
    
    The Supply Arrangement will remain valid until January 09, 2017
    or until such time as Canada no longer considers them to be
    advantageous to use them. The period for awarding contracts
    under the Supply Arrangement begins on the start date of the
    Supply Arrangement.
    
    In as much as possible, PWGSC will issue a bid solicitation
    intended to replace the Supply Arrangements for the Services on
    an annual basis, although PWGSC reserves the right to choose to
    proceed with a different procurement vehicle for the requirement
    if it considers such action appropriate. Each such
    re-competition (a "renewal bid solicitation") requires all
    bidders, including those who may have received instruments under
    the previous solicitation, to submit a bid in response to the
    renewal bid solicitation in order to continue to provide
    services under its resulting Supply Arrangements.
    
    
    SET-ASIDE PROGRAM FOR ABORIGINAL BUSINESS:
    
    Part of this procurement may be designated by one or more
    Identified Users as set-aside under the federal government's

    international trade agreements under the provision each has for
    set-asides for small and minority businesses, and (ii) as per
    Article 1802 of the AIT, the AIT does not apply.
    
    In order to be considered as an Aboriginal Business under the
    PSAB, the Bidder must complete the Aboriginal Business
    certification contained in the Data Collection Component of the
    CPSS.
    
    By executing the certification, the Bidder warrants that it is
    an Aboriginal business as defined in the Set-aside Program for
    Aboriginal Business.

    and Metropolitan Areas" at the following link are incorporated
