Amendment 1 answers questions received so far.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
This NPP is issued pursuant to PWGSC Supply Arrangement (SA) # E60PQ-140003/B and covers a requirement from the following Product Category of the SA:
Product Category 1 - Interconnecting Panels and Freestanding Systems
Citizenship and Immigration Canada has a requirement for the purchase, delivery and installation of office furniture to 365 Laurier Avenue West, JEN 5th Floor, Ottawa, Ontario, K1A 1L1 by the beginning of November, 2018. This requirement will be conducted in 5 phases; therefore, delivery and installation will occur after working hours and on week-ends on different dates. This NPP covers a requirement to be solicited amongst the General Stream of Suppliers (SA holders).
The bid solicitation is also open to suppliers who are not Supply Arrangement (SA) holders. In order for new suppliers to bid on this solicitation, the new supplier must first qualify for a SA. The process to qualify for a SA is detailed in RFSA # E60PQ-140003/B and can be found on the Government Electronic Tendering Service (GETS - https://buyandsell.gc.ca/procurement-data/tenders). Canada is not required to delay the award of a resulting contract pending the evaluation of an arrangement and issuance of a SA by the PWGSC Supply Arrangement Authority.
