Divestment Services for SSC

Shared Services Canada is soliciting divestment services to manage the lifecycle of Government of Canada IT assets, focusing on sanitization, destruction, refurbishment, and responsible recycling of equipment such as computers and network components. The solicitation, numbered R0000196758, has a closing date of May 15, 2026, at 14:00 EDT, and is issued under a trade-off evaluation model where technical merit carries 70% weight and price accounts for 30%, ensuring selection based on highest overall value rather than lowest cost alone. Proposals must be submitted electronically in three separately bound volumes—Technical, Financial, and Certifications—formatted on 8.5 × 11 inch paper with title pages, table of contents, and compliance with specified file formats (PDF, DOC, XLS), all sent to Julie Dessureault at [email hidden]. The contract operates as an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) mechanism through Requisitions on Contract (ROC), with delivery locations, quantities, and timelines defined per ROC issuance, excluding areas subject to Comprehensive Land Claim Agreements. All IT equipment must be individually packaged with durable, sustainable materials, clearly marked with Government of Canada or SSC logos, barcoded, and serialized for traceability per SSC instructions. Contractors must comply with stringent security protocols, including mandatory submission of security clearance information, completion of Appendix B and Annex C, signing of a Non-Disclosure Agreement, and provision of insurance certificates within ten days of award. Personnel must meet language proficiency requirements and adhere to Canadian immigration laws if foreign nationals are employed. Pricing is submitted as unit rates per service type (sanitization, destruction, refurbishment, recycling) without pre-filled amounts, and payment is processed electronically via the SSC P2P portal using financial commitment numbers. Contractors are responsible for inspection compliance, including WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards for non-web ICT, and must reimburse Canada for any damage or loss of government property under their control. No standard U.S. accounting codes are referenced; instead, financial tracking relies on internal Canadian identifiers. All submitted certifications, including Unique Entity ID and Procurement Business Number, must be current, and affirmative responses to representations such as Indigenous ownership or former public servant status trigger additional compliance obligations.
