Title: 2014 Accommodation Directory - Request for Standing Offer
- Regular Markets

Description:

Request for non-commissionable rates for guest rooms,
bachelor/studios with kitchen and/or one bedroom suites with or
without a kitchen for Regular Markets in Canada, all cities in
the USA and other countries.

Employees of federal departments and agencies, provincial
government of Alberta, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario,
territorial government of Northwest Territories and of Yukon, as
well as Federal Government cost reimbursable contractors, will
be able to access the directory through the Internet Web site.

As a minimum, the accommodation must be safe, clean and
comfortable. A successful offer will be based on the Offeror's
proper completion of the Request for Standing Offer (RFSO),
acceptance of the terms and conditions, remittance of the
listing fee  ($200.00CDN per establishment in Canada, $200.00US
per establishment in the United States and other countries
and/or a flat fee of $400.00US for chains that wish to submit
rates for their establishments in countries other than Canada).
Also, rates offered must not exceed the limit established by the
Government of Canada ($200.00CDN for Canada, $200.00US for the
United States and  various limits in Canadian dollars depending
on the country for countries other than Canada and United
States) for publication in the Accommodation Directory for
Government Employees. 

The Government of Canada maintains a source list of
accommodation suppliers in Canada, the USA  and other countries
around the world. Each year a Request for Standing Offer (RFSO)
to provide room rates for the Government of Canada Electronic
Accommodation Directory for Government Employees is mailed to
each supplier on the source list.  Each year thereafter, the
source list is purged of suppliers who have not responded to the
RFSO for any of the last three (3) years.

Properties on the source list will be mailed the RFSO and the
requirement will also be published on the Government Electronic
Tendering Service. The period of the Standing offer will be from 
January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014.  Properties which are not
on the source list but would like to be added and receive the
RFSO, should mail or fax their request to the attention of:
