Request for information - E60PH-28MPIV - Pandemic Influenza Vaccine Readiness and Supply Strategy

Canada is seeking input from potential suppliers to inform its medium- and long-term strategy for securing sufficient pandemic influenza vaccine readiness and supply, with the goal of ensuring capacity to produce up to 110 million doses of a monovalent pandemic influenza vaccine. This request for information is part of a broader effort to establish a robust and reliable supply chain capable of responding swiftly to future influenza pandemic threats. Suppliers are invited to provide details on their capabilities, production scalability, and readiness to meet Canadian public health needs, helping the government assess the market and shape future contracting opportunities. The solicitation, identified by number WS5703210526 and issued by the Department of Public Works and Government Services on behalf of the Government of Canada, is open for responses until August 7, 2026. The primary point of contact for inquiries is Yessica Karnali Wijaya Putri, Contracting Authority within the Specialized Procurement and Services Division. While this is not a formal procurement, the feedback collected will directly influence the design and requirements of future binding contracts for pandemic influenza vaccine production and supply across the nation. The place of performance is Canada, and the initiative underscores the federal government’s proactive approach to national health security through strategic industry engagement.
