Shared Services Canada, on behalf of the Department of National Defence, initiated a selective tendering process under Software Licensing Supply Arrangement EN578-232335/078/SMS for the procurement of 37 Red Hat Software subscriptions. The intended contract was designed for a duration of 12 months with no specific security requirements. Eligibility for bidding was restricted to pre-qualified Supply Arrangement holders and Class-1 Resellers, with a specific list of invited firms including companies such as Carahsoft Canada, CDW Canada, and Softchoice Corporation. Despite the initial solicitation and the establishment of a response deadline for August 5, 2025, Solicitation Amendment 001 was issued to publish responses to supplier questions and officially cancel the solicitation. Consequently, the procurement process for these Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscriptions has been terminated.

Solicitation # BPM014160
Shared Services Canada (SSC) has issued Request for Supply Arrangement (RFSA) BPM014160 to prequalify Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to provide Local Internet Access Services (LIAS) for federal government sites across Canada. This initiative aims to establish a pool of qualified suppliers to streamline the procurement of symmetrical and asymmetrical internet connections, formalize legacy connections, and standardize the contract award process for SSC, its partner organizations, and mandatory clients. The RFSA is not a direct solicitation for bids but a qualification process; once an ISP is issued a Supply Arrangement, they become eligible to compete for specific requirements through future Requests for Quotation (RFQ) or Requests for Proposal (RFP). The procurement is managed through the SSC Procure to Pay (P2P) Portal, where all submissions must be uploaded. Qualified suppliers will be evaluated based on their capacity and experience, with specific technical requirements such as bandwidth and Service Level Agreements defined at the individual Service Order level. Pricing is not fixed but is determined on a per-requirement basis based on geographic location and technical needs, though Canada may directly select compliant contractors for requirements totaling 40,000 dollars or less. The contract incorporates General Conditions for Higher Complexity Services and requires bidders to meet specific security clearance standards, including Reliability Status for personnel accessing sensitive sites.
