Clarification:

This is a Request for Responses for Evaluation (RFRE) pertaining to the CBSA Data Warehouse.

This RFRE is neither a request for proposal nor a solicitation of bids or tenders and is intended only to
pre-qualify respondents.

The purpose of this RFRE is to initiate the process for the procurement of the CBSA Data Warehouse by inviting suppliers to submit responses to SSC for Canada's evaluation. Further, by responding to this RFRE, Respondents are indicating their intent to participate in the procurement process for the acquisition and support of the CBSA Data Warehouse.

As part of this RFRE, we have also included a Draft RFP for the CBSA Data Warehouse.

This RFRE is the first part of a multi-stage solicitation process. In this first stage, suppliers are requested to submit only certain information for evaluation, while in the next stage, only those suppliers who have successfully passed the initial evaluation (Successful Respondents) will be provided bid solicitation(s) detailing the full requirement for the purpose of bidding.

There is a security requirement associated with this requirement. For additional information, see Draft RFP, Part 6 - Security and Financial Requirements.

This procurement is subject to a National Security Exception and is, therefore, excluded from all of the obligations of the trade agreements.
