The closing date has been extended to March 28, 2014.

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has long used LPR and
RFID hardware to facilitate its operations at primary
inspection.  In short, LPRs are used to capture license plate
information as conveyances approach the inspection booth while
RFID readers installed in primary inspection lanes can capture
data from RFID enabled documents to support traveller processing.

A combination of factors justifies the procurement of LPR and
RFID equipment:
i) Current equipment has reached end of life; and
ii) Commitments made under the "Beyond the Border Action Plan"
which sets out to achieve the shared vision issued by the Prime
Minister of Canada and the President of the United States on
February 4, 2011 (Beyond the Border: A Shared Vision for
Perimeter Security and Economic Competitiveness).

CBSA is looking for a contractor to provide one solution which
integrates RFID and LPR components together. 

There is a possibility of adding sites to those indicated in the
solicitation document.

Please see solicitation document for more details.
