Requirement:
This requirement is to establish a National Master Standing
Offers (NMSO) for the supply and delivery of dental supplies,
dental instruments and small dental equipment as required by
various Federal Government Departments and Agencies for delivery
locations throughout Canada, including northern remote areas.

The period of the Standing Offer will be from date of Standing
Offer Award to September 30, 2013, with one additional 1-year
option period.

This procurement is set aside under the federal government's
Procurement Strategy for Aboriginal Business (PSAB), as detailed
in Annex 9.4 Requirements for the Set-aside Program for
Aboriginal Business, of the Supply Manual.  In order to be
considered, a supplier must certify that it qualifies as an
Aboriginal business as defined under PSAB and that it will
comply with all requirements of PSAB.

This procurement is set aside from the international trade
agreements under the provision each has for set-asides for small
and minority businesses.

Further to Article 1802 of the Agreement on Internal Trade
(AIT), AIT does not apply to this procurement.

There will be two solicitation documents on MERX for this
requirement: Solicitation EV394-121182/A aimed at the general
dental supplies and equipment industry and EV394-121182/B under
the Procurement Strategy for Aboriginal Business program. If
Offerors are eligible and choose to make an offer on both
requirements they must submit separate offers for both
solicitations.

Debriefings:
After issuance of a standing offer, offerors may request a
debriefing on the results of the request for standing offers
process. Offerors should make the request to the Standing Offer
Authority within 15 working days of receipt of the results of
the request for standing offers process. The debriefing may be
in writing, by telephone or in person.
Delivery Date: Above-mentioned
