Correctional Service Canada is seeking industry feedback on Personal Portable Alarm Systems (PPAS) and Portable Alarm Locator Systems (PALS) through a Request for Information, identified by solicitation number 21120-26-5352097, issued on May 25, 2026, with a response deadline later that same day. This RFI is not a solicitation for proposals or a commitment to award a contract; it is strictly a market research tool designed to gather technical insights, alternative approaches, and indicative pricing from suppliers, particularly those eligible under Canada’s free trade agreements including CFTA, CETA, CPTPP, and others, with participation limited to Canadian suppliers and those from designated trade partner nations. The objective is to evaluate potential solutions for deploying RF-based wearable alarm transmitters and associated receiver and network infrastructure across multiple correctional facilities, ensuring full coverage, integration with existing systems like ISMS and FAAS, and compliance with CSC’s engineering standards such as ES/SOW-0101 and ES/STD-0110. Responses must include technical documentation, system specifications, warranty details, and pricing estimates, submitted in unencrypted PDF format under 10 MB to the designated email address, and can be provided in either English or French. While no formal contract clauses, evaluation criteria, or award mechanisms are present, respondents are expected to address specific questions in Annex B regarding system performance, network integration, labeling, and maintenance, with emphasis on vendor-provided warranties of at least two years and equipment durability with a minimum 10-year service life. Installation and acceptance will occur on-site at CSC penitentiaries in locations such as Atlantic Institution, Donnacona Institution, Edmonton Institution, and others, with no travel anticipated. No delivery schedules, FOB terms, or contract values are defined, as this is a pre-solicitation phase to inform future procurement decisions. All submissions are for informational purposes only and do not bind the Government of Canada to any future action.
