ATIP Audio-Video Redaction Software

The Correctional Service Canada is seeking industry input through a Request for Information to inform the development of a future procurement for commercial-off-the-shelf audio-video redaction software to support its Access to Information and Privacy department. The software must enable efficient redaction of sensitive content in MPEG-1, MP4, and ASF formats while ensuring redacted data cannot be recovered or reversed after export. Key requirements include AI-powered automation to reduce review times from 60 minutes per minute of footage to 10 minutes or less, an intuitive user interface, and full compliance with Government of Canada policies on privacy, accessibility, information security, and data management. Solutions must support role-based access controls, audit logging, and the ability to handle Protected B-level information, with data residency restricted to Canada. Industry respondents are asked to provide detailed feedback on the proposed statement of work, describe their pricing models and cost ranges, and address technical and security capabilities outlined in Annex B, including whether their products can meet the government’s strict confidentiality and security standards. This Request for Information is not a solicitation for bids or proposals, and no contract will result from this process. Responses are strictly for market research purposes to help CSC understand available technologies, industry capacity, and approximate pricing to inform future procurement planning. Responses must be submitted via email in unprotected PDF format under 10 MB, with no executable, batch, or image files allowed, and must reference specific questions from Annex B. All submissions must be in English or French and will be handled under the Access to Information Act, with respondents required to clearly mark any proprietary information. The deadline for responses is May 26, 2026, and all communication should be directed to Diana Todorova at the provided email address. The NAICS code for this effort is 518210, and while no formal contract terms, evaluation criteria, or delivery schedules are established at this stage, future solicitation may be subject to international trade agreements including the CFTA, CETA, CPTPP, and WTO-AGP, as well as federal programs such as the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business and the Federal Contractors Program for Employment Equity.
