    The purpose of this RFI is to seek industry comments and input to refine the procurement strategy and the definition of requirements for project HT250-214030 for Health Canada’s National Dosimetry Services Division (NDSD).
    
    The objective is to procure commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) Electronic Personal Dosimeters (EPDs) for the real-time measurement and display of radiation dose and dose rate, along with the software and communications interfaces required for their configuration. These will be managed through NDSD’s existing EPD service and will be used to equip existing clients as well as dosimetry kits to be deployed to Chemical, Biological. Radiological, Nuclear and Explosive (CBRNE)/HazMat teams across Canada under the FRDE Kit program.
    
    The initial requirement is for the delivery of :
    
    1.  250 Gamma EPDs
    2.  50 Beta-Gamma EPDs
    3.  10 EPD readers 
    4.  Software for EPD management installed on ten (10) Devices. 
    
    The requirement also includes options to purchase additional units within three (3) years and options to purchase extended warranty and extended software support periods for up to five (5) years.
    
    More specifically, we are seeking feedback on:
    
    - The potential level of interest in providing the goods described in the Annex A - Requirement;
    - The ability of bidders to propose goods that meet the mandatory criteria described in attachment 1;
    - Information and suggestions on ways to improve this process or make it more efficient.
    
    2. Documents provided
    
    Annex A - Requirement 
    Attachment 1 - Mandatory Evaluation Criteria
    
    3. Questions to suppliers interested in this RFI
    
    1. Would your company be able to provide the Electronic Personal Dosimeters described in the Annex A - Requirement? If the answer is no, for what reasons?
    
    2. Would the dosimeters you can provide be deemed responsive under the mandatory criteria described in attachment 1 - Technical Evaluation Criteria?
    
    3. What could motivate you to provide us with a proposal? Disclosure of required quantities for the purchase of additional units or any other considerations? 
    
    4. Do you have other concerns, comments or elements that you would like to bring to our attention ?
    
    4. Note to interested suppliers
    
    There is no future contract issuance or purchase commitment from Canada. The issuance of this RFI does not oblige Canada to issue a contract, to issue an RFP and does not bind Canada legally or otherwise, to enter into any agreement or to accept or reject any suggestions. As a result of this RFI, there will be no short listing of firms for the purposes of undertaking future work. Similarly, participation in this RFI is not a condition or prerequisite for participation in any RFP.
    
    There will be no compensation for the information provided. Any and all expenses incurred by the suppliers in pursuing this opportunity, including the provision of information, are at the supplier’s sole expense.
    
    Suppliers are advised that any information submitted to Canada in response to this RFI may, or may not, be used by Canada in the development of a potential subsequent RFP. The documents, information or data collected will be considered as commercial-in-confidence and will not be provided to a third party.
    
    5. Presentation of the supplier’s response to the Request for Information:
    
    Suppliers interested in responding to this RFI should send their response by email no later than the date provided on page 1 of the Request for Information to: Marie-Claire.Fortin@tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca
    
    Responses can be submitted in one of the two official languages of Canada (English or French).
    
    Note: Since this RFI is not an RFP and since no contract will be awarded as a result of this publication, Canada reserves the right to see the responses upon receipt, i.e., Canada wants to be able to consult the responses before the closing date
    
    6. Communications in posting period
    
    All enquiries must be submitted to the Contracting Authority, preferably by email, at Marie-Claire.Fortin@tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca, at least five calendar days before the closing date. Enquiries received after that time may not be answered.
    
     
    
    Delivery Date: Above-mentioned
    
    The Crown retains the right to negotiate with suppliers on any procurement.
    
    Documents may be submitted in either official language of Canada.
