The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to achieve the following:
a) Provide industry with an early opportunity to assess, comment and suggest changes to Canada’s technical requirements (detailed in Annex ?A? - Purchase Description);
b) Determine the capability of suppliers to meet the technical requirements (detailed in Annex ?A? - Purchase Description);
c) Obtain supplier feedback on any issues that would impacttheir ability to bid on the resulting

d) Gather industry knowledge, expertise and recommendations with regard to best practices that
would increase the success of the procurement and/or identify any risks that would impact the procurement.
e) Enhance competition, access and fairness of the resulting solicitation.
Nature of the Request for Information
This is not a bid solicitation. This RFI will not result in the award of any standingoffer. As a result, potential suppliers of any goods or services described in this RFI should not reserve stock or facilities, nor allocate resources, as a result of any information contained in this RFI. Nor will this RFI result in the creation of any source list. Therefore, whether or not any potential supplier responds to this RFI, this will not preclude that supplier from participating in any future procurement. Also, the procurement of any of the goods and services described in this RFI will not necessarily follow this RFI. This RFI is simply intended to solicit information and feedback from industry with respect to the matters described in this RFI.
PSPC will not be bound by anything stated herein and reserves the right to change at any time, any or all parts of the requirement, as it deems necessary. PSPC also reserves the right to revise its procurement approach, as it considers appropriate, either based upon information submitted in response to this RFI or for any other reason it deems appropriate.
