This is a follow-on requirement for professional services to support the Military Command
Software Centre (MCSC). These professional services are critical for the Canadian Armed
Forces (CAF). This will result in two separate procurement processes due to a recent change by
PSPC requiring a window of two-year to solicit any large professional services requirement such
as Task-based Informatics Professional Services (TBIPS). The main procurement will be
competed under PSPC contracting authority and the other competitive process will be under
DND contracting authority to ensure the continuity of services and allow sufficient time for
PSPC to solicit the requirement.
