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.
