Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC), on behalf of Correctional Services Canada, has a requirement for geographically zone based Regional Individual Standing Offers (RISO) for the supply and delivery of Fresh Produce on an as and when requested basis.

There will be one Standing Offer awarded per zone, if one supplier is successful in more than one zone, then the awards will be combined for that supplier.  Otherwise there will be one Standing Offer issued for this requirement for each zone for each three-month period.

The Government of Canada’s press release provides additional information. 

Anticipated migration to Regional Master Standing Offers (RMSO)

If a RMSO is issued for any of the commodities prior to the expiry date of the standing offer issued from this solicitation, this standing offer will be set aside to move to the Regional Master Standing Offer (RMSO) for all sites affected by the RMSO.
