This solicitation, numbered 1000263247A, is a reissue by Indigenous Services Canada for passenger transportation services between Thompson Airport and Split Lake First Nations in Northern Manitoba, aimed at supporting FNIHB nurses and staff with reliable, roundtrip travel for scheduled, unscheduled, and emergency trips spanning 140 kilometers one way. The requirement is conditionally set aside exclusively for Indigenous businesses under the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business, requiring all offerors to certify their Indigenous ownership and compliance with PSIB guidelines; only compliant bids from two or more Indigenous businesses will be considered. The contract is structured as a firm-fixed-price arrangement with an initial three-year term ending March 31, 2029, and two optional one-year extension periods exercisable at Canada’s discretion with 15 days’ notice. Evaluation will follow a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable approach, where technical compliance is mandatory and award is solely determined by the lowest evaluated price among compliant offerors.

Personnel must meet competency standards, be identified at award, and hold appropriate Canadian security clearances ranging from Reliability Status to Top Secret, with any substitution requiring prior written approval from the Contracting Authority. Contractors are fully responsible for compliance with all contractual obligations, including adherence to security protocols outlined in the Security Requirements Check List, and subcontracting is permitted only with prior consent and remains subject to full contractor liability. Invoices must be submitted electronically with proper financial codes for direct deposit payment, and inspection and acceptance are the sole responsibility of the Government of Canada.

This solicitation of offers cancels and supersedes previous solicitation of offers number 1000263247 dated 2026-02-02 with a closing of 2026-03-02 at 2PM ET. A debriefing or feedback session will be provided upon request to Offeror's who offered on the previous solicitation of offers. Important Notice to Bidders: Conditional Set-Aside Under the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business (PSIB) This procurement is conditionally set aside under the federal government Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business. In order to be considered, the Offeror must certify that it qualifies as an Indigenous business as defined under PSIB and that it will comply with all requirements of PSIB. If bids from two (2) or more Indigenous businesses are compliant with the terms of the Request for Proposal, the contracting authority will limit the competition to those Indigenous businesses and will not consider bids from any non- Indigenous businesses that may have been submitted. For more information on Indigenous business requirements of the Set-aside Program for Indigenous Business, refer to Annex 9.4: https://canadabuys.canada.ca/en/how-procurement-works/policies-and-guidelines/supply-manual/chapter-9-annexes#_9-4 of the Supply Manual. Description of the Requirement: The intent of this Request for Proposal (RFP) is to award one (1) Contract for passenger transportation services for First Nations Inuit and Health Branch (FNIHB) nurses/employees from Thompson Airport to Split Lake First Nations (140 km one way) in Northern Manitoba. FNIHB requires these reliable, roundtrip transportation services with a variety of required trips, including scheduled trips, unscheduled trips and emergency trips. There are scheduled trips between Thompson and Split Lake that align with the nurse shift change, but there are also often unplanned trips that are required. In these short-notice situations, employees sometimes struggle to secure a taxi. Therefore, FNIHB is looking for a reliable passenger transportation service to transport FNIHB employees between the Thompson Airport and the Split Lake Nursing Station. Level of Security Requirement: There are no security requirements for this request. Proposed period of contract: The initial contract period is three (3) years from contract award, with two (2) additional one (1) year option periods.
