Dedicated ink jet printer(s) are integral components required to support the Global Case Management System (GCMS) and Integrated Retrieval Information System (IRIS) at Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and the Passport Management Process (PMP) at Department of Global Affairs Canada (GAC). These printers provide essential service delivery for departmental lines of business in Canada and abroad. GAC is responsible for delivering passport services outside Canada from 134 locations where Temporary Passports and Emergency Travel documents can be personalized while Service Canada (SC) and IRCC are responsible for the printing of observation labels for Canadian travel documents from 32 locations in Canada. It is also the responsibility of the International Region at IRCC to ensure that continuous and uninterrupted essential service support is provided to the following geographical areas: Asia and Pacific, The Americas, Africa and the Middle East and Europe. The new/replacement printer(s) will be required to support IRCC employees working in 87 offices abroad and several locations across Canada.
In March 2015 the manufacturer of the printer model currently used by IRCC which is also approved by the Passport Program, officially confirmed it was decommissioned and had reached end of life. Therefore, new/replacement ink jet printer(s) must be acquired in order to continue to meet mandated departmental service delivery standards.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) require the supply and delivery of 835 inkjet printer, up to 1905 black ink cartridges and up to 535 colour ink cartridges each (cyan, magenta and yellow), with the option to purchase various quantities over the next 5 year period.
Printers will be tested to ensure full compliance before contract award.
The bidder must deliver 20 printers, with all necessary supplies (ink for label printing (2 black and 2 color cartridges per printer), print heads, cleaning kits, maintenance products, peripherals (i.e. print boxes), bilingual documentation and any other pertinent items etc), for the testing and evaluation process to commence. Up to 4 printers will be sent to a Mission for "live testing". These four printers and associate parts will not be shipped back to the company after the testing.
The requirement is subject to the provisions of the World Trade Organization Agreement on Government Procurement (WTO-AGP), the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), and the Canada Free Trade Agreement (CFTA)
