The contract awards perpetual user licenses for income tax preparation software to be delivered between 2026 and 2031 in batches of 2,500 activation keys, ensuring long-term access without recurring fees. The software must be fully bilingual to meet Canadian language requirements and adhere to WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility standards to guarantee usability for individuals with disabilities. Licensing is structured as a subcontract under the NAICS code 511210, with the Canada Revenue Agency acting as the procuring entity on behalf of the Government of Canada. The software must be deployable nationwide across Canada with no geographic restrictions on usage or support. All licenses are to be issued as digital activation keys, requiring secure and reliable delivery processes to prevent unauthorized access or redistribution. The submission window for proposals closes on June 24, 2026, and the solicitation was posted on May 15, 2026, affording potential vendors approximately six weeks to prepare responsive bids. The requirement emphasizes compliance with federal accessibility and language mandates, making adherence to WCAG 2.1 Level AA and bilingual functionality non-negotiable components of eligibility. The contract does not specify a set-aside for small or minority-owned businesses, indicating open competition. Performance is expected throughout Canada without a designated physical location for delivery or support, though vendors must ensure timely and secure key distribution and ongoing technical support to meet user needs during the five-year licensing period.

User Testing Software Platform for User Experience Testing
Solicitation # 1000505276B
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is seeking a single contractor to provide a user testing software platform to evaluate content on Canada.ca. The primary objective is to assess how the general public and specific niche audiences, such as business owners and families, navigate the site and complete tasks. The requirement includes an annual license supporting five named users, 360 testing requests per year, and four hours of annual training. Testing with individuals using assistive reading and navigation technologies is explicitly excluded from this scope. The contract is for an initial term of two years, with the CRA holding an irrevocable option to extend for up to five additional one-year periods. This procurement is a conditional set-aside under the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business (PSIB); if two or more compliant bids are received from certified Indigenous businesses, the competition will be limited to those bidders. The award will be granted to the responsive bidder with the lowest evaluated price following a multi-step process that includes mandatory technical criteria evaluation and a Proof of Proposal (POP) testing phase. Bids must be submitted via the Canada Post Connect service by November 27, 2026. The contractor must ensure strict confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements are in place to protect both the CRA and test participants.
