"Work" is described as the delivery of light duty vehicles to the federal government in accordance with specifications listed in the Government Motor Vehicle Ordering Guide (GMVOG), the quantity, time frame and point of delivery requirements, as well as all administrative work associated with the fulfillment of these requirements. The GMVOG can be requested by contacting the Standing Offer Authority at the following email address:

2. Provide a written confirmation that they possess a network of authorized dealerships that enables them to meet the requirements of Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI), other necessary pre-delivery preparation of the vehicles and actual delivery to the end-users throughout Canada; 

or 

Provide a written confirmation that they have a formal written agreement with every Canadian authorized dealership of the brand they represent, confirming that they can meet the requirements of PDI, other necessary pre-delivery preparation of the vehicles and actual delivery to the end-users throughout Canada;

5. Provide technical data for the vehicles and options offered in order to update the GMVOG. The data must be submitted using epost Connect services.

As a result of this NPP, a qualified Offeror list will be created. At the second stage, only the Offerors on the list will be allowed to bid on the Request for Standing Offer (RFSO). 

Subsequently, all qualified Offerors meeting the mandatory criteria of the RFSO, will be eligible to become a Standing Offer (SO) holder for the supply of the 2023 or newer model year light duty vehicles and 2022 model year Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEV) & Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) light duty vehicles where specified listed in the 2022-2023 GMVOG.

Call-ups will be placed by Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) and Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) on an as and when requested basis.

Offerors must communicate with the Standing Offer Authority in order to get an electronic draft version of the GMVOG including the technical data for the vehicles and options offered. The data must be submitted by using epost Connect services, before July 12th, 2022 at 2:00 pm (EDT), otherwise the Offeror will be considered non-compliant.
