Details of the Statement of Work for the Streams are contained in Annex "A". Offerors may submit an Offer for any or all Streams, however a separate AND complete offer is required for each Stream. Offers for parts of Streams are not acceptable. However, it is possible for Offerors to Joint Venture. The same subcontractor may be included in more than one Offer. If a subcontractor is proposed as one of the team members, company security clearances must be met. An organization can receive more than one Standing Offer, but not for the same Stream.  

The period of the RISOs is two years with the right to request two additional one-year extension periods. For Stream 1, Stream 2, Stream 3 and Stream 5, the estimated start date will be April 1, 2018. For Stream 4, the estimated start date will be prior to April 1, 2018.

Stream 1 to Stream 4 are subject to the provisions of the World Trade Organization - Agreement on Government Procurement (WTO-AGP), North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), and the Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA)

Stream 5 is set aside from the international trade agreements under the provision each has for measures with respect to Aboriginal peoples or for set-asides for small and minority businesses.
