The Correctional Service of Canada is seeking industry feedback through a Request for Information (RFI) to modernize its point-of-sale system for inmate canteen services across 40 institutions and 93 canteens nationwide. The goal is to replace the existing system with a fully integrated, network-connected solution that uses DESFire EV3 RFID-enabled smartcards for secure identification and payment, ensuring seamless operation both online and offline with automatic synchronization. The new system must integrate securely via APIs with the Inmate Accounting System Replacement (IASR), Offender Management System, and smartcard management platforms, while adhering to Government of Canada Protected B security standards, data minimization principles, and privacy legislation including the Privacy Act and PIPEDA. All hardware and software must be bilingual in English and French, accessible, and compliant with CSC’s enterprise architecture and digital policies, supporting national reporting, real-time inventory tracking, transaction traceability, and reduced manual processing to enhance offender accountability and data security. The RFI does not constitute a solicitation for proposals or a commitment to award a contract; no agreements will result from responses submitted. The solution must include comprehensive deployment plans for nationwide installation, training materials for staff and inmates, operational documentation, warranty terms, and support with defined service levels. Security requirements mandate defense-in-depth architecture, encryption at rest and in transit, multi-factor authentication (RFID + PIN), and detailed audit logging for all transactions. Delivery and performance will occur at correctional facilities across Canada, with no specific FOB point defined, and responses must be submitted in unprotected PDF format via email to the specified government address by June 17, 2026. While no contract value, evaluation factors, weighting, or award criteria are available due to the exploratory nature of the RFI, respondents are encouraged to provide technical insights, innovation suggestions, and feasibility assessments to inform future procurement activities, with all submissions considered under applicable trade agreements including CFTA, CETA, CPTPP, and others.

The Correctional Service of Canada is seeking to award a contract under an Advanced Contract Award Notice to the John Howard Society of Newfoundland and Labrador for the delivery of a Family Services Program aimed at supporting families of incarcerated inmates from Newfoundland and Labrador who are held in federal institutions in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.

Over a 60-working-day period per contract term, the supplier must organize and fund travel and accommodation for family members, coordinate security clearances with federal institutions, accompany participants during visits, provide non-clinical crisis intervention to manage emotional distress, observe interactions for safety concerns, and conduct thorough post-visit follow-ups.
