Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) includes a pamphlet
titled Important Passport Tips (C&I-1885) with each passport
issued. CIC requires the Contractor to print and deliver
quantities of C&I-1885 on an "if and when" requested basis.
This accounts for an annual production and distribution of
approximately 5,000,000 copies of C&I-1885. Because the
quantities required are driven by the demand for passports CIC
cannot guarantee the exact quantity that may be required for any
year.
CIC expects to place production orders for quantities between
1,000,000 and 1,750,000 units every four (4) months. However,
the contract will also allow for smaller orders on an if and
when required basis. The minimum quantity for these additional
