One method of supply used by Public Works and Government
Services Canada (PWGSC) to satisfy the requirements of
departments and agencies is to arrange with suppliers to submit
a standing offer to provide goods, services or both during a
specified period. Specific departments and agencies are then
authorized by PWGSC to make call-ups against the standing offer
detailing the exact quantities of goods or level of services
they wish to order at a particular time, during the effective
period of the standing offer in accordance with the
predetermined conditions.
A Request for Standing Offers (RFSO) is an invitation to
suppliers to provide PWGSC with a standing offer. The quantity
of goods, level of services and estimated expenditure specified
in the RFSO are only an approximation of requirements given in
good faith. A RFSO does not commit PWGSC to authorize the
utilization of a standing offer or to procure or contract for
any goods, services or both. A standing offer is not a contract.
The issuance by PWGSC of a Standing Offer and Call-up Authority
to successful suppliers and to departments and agencies
authorized to make call-ups does not constitute an agreement by
Canada to order any or all of the goods, services or both
offered. Departments and agencies may make one or several
call-ups against a standing offer.
On behalf of the Department of National Defence, a Request For
Standing Offers has been issued for the provision of logistics
support services to support deployed naval vessels assigned to
the Royal Canadian Navy, and any deployed support staffs, or
other Canadian Forces elements deployed on an "if and when
requested" basis within the following geographical areas:
- Zone 1: United States West Coast
- Zone 2: Mexican and Central American West Coast
- Zone 3: South American West Coast
- Zone 4: South Pacific Ocean Coast
- Zone 5: Japanese and South Korean Coasts
- Zone 6: Chinese Coasts
- Zone 7: South West Pacific Coasts
- Zone 8: Indian Ocean Coasts.
Goods and services may be requested in various ports throughout
the specified geographical areas.
Up to eight National Individual Standing Offers (one per Zone)
may be established as a result of this solicitation.
The period of the Standing Offer(s) will be from January 1, 2013
(or the date of Standing Offer, if later) to December 31, 2013.
In the event that Canada requires an extension of the period of
the Standing Offer(s), the Standing Offer(s) will include a
provision for Canada to authorize its use beyond the initial
period for up to two additional six-month periods.
Complete information regarding the requirement can be found in
the solicitation documents available for ordering via MERX.com.
After issuance of a standing offer, offerors may request a
debriefing on the results of the request for standing offers
process. Offerors should make the request to the Standing Offer
Authority within 15 working days of receipt of the results of
the request for standing offers process. The debriefing may be
in writing, by telephone or in person.
