REQUEST FOR INFORMATION - INMATE-OWNED CANTEEN POINT OF SALE
SOLUTION

On behalf of the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC), Public
Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) is requesting
Industry feedback regarding commercial off-the-shelf point of
sale solutions for inmate-owned canteens located within CSC
institutions across Canada.

The objectives of this Request for Information (RFI) are to
solicit information on current marketplace availability,
capabilities and interest on commercial off-the-shelf point of
sale solutions that can meet CSC's business requirements, namely
analysis and reporting capabilities as well as interface with
CSC's inmate accounting system.

This RFI is neither a call for tender or a Request for Proposal.
No agreement or contract will be entered into based on this RFI.
The issuance of this RFI is not to be considered in any way a
commitment by the Government of Canada, nor as authority to
potential respondents to undertake any work that could be
charged to Canada. This RFI is not to be considered as a
commitment to issue a subsequent solicitation or award of
contract(s) for the work described herein.

Although the information collected may be provided as
commercial-in-confidence (and, if identified as such, will be
treated accordingly by Canada), Canada may use the information
to assist in drafting performance specifications (which are
subject to change) and for budgetary purposes.

Respondents are encouraged to identify, in the information they
share with Canada, any information that they feel is
proprietary, third party or personal information. Please note
that Canada may be obligated by law (e.g. in response to a
request under the Access to Information and Privacy Act) to
disclose proprietary or commercially-sensitive information
concerning a respondent (for more information:
http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/a-1/).

Respondents are asked to identify if their response, or any part
of their response, is subject to the Controlled Goods
Regulations.

Participation in this RFI is encouraged, but is not mandatory.
There will be no short-listing of potential suppliers for the
purposes of undertaking any future work as a result of this RFI.
Similarly, participation in this RFI is not a condition or
prerequisite for the participation in any potential subsequent
solicitation.

Respondents will not be reimbursed for any cost incurred by
participating in this RFI.

The RFI closing date published herein is not the deadline for
comments or input. Comments and input will be accepted any time
up to the time when/if a follow-on solicitation is published.

Delivery Date: Above-mentioned

The Crown retains the right to negotiate with suppliers on any
procurement.

Documents may be submitted in either official language of Canada.
