This RFI is being issued by SSC. It is intended that the contract resulting from any subsequent solicitation would be used by SSC to provide shared services to one or more of its clients. SSC’s clients include SSC itself, those government institutions for which SSC’s services are mandatory at any point during the life of any resulting instrument(s), and those other organizations for which SSC’s services are optional at any point during the life of any resulting instrument(s) and that choose to use those services from time to time. Any subsequent procurement process will not preclude SSC from using another method of supply for any of its clients with the same or similar needs, unless a subsequent solicitation for this Project expressly indicates otherwise.
The primary objective is to acquire services from a Contractor to store, tag, distribute, and ship GC-owned IT equipment, and related goods and services, and to obtain dedicated warehouse spaces in Canada. SSC estimates that it can have up to 2000 pallets (i.e., up to 64, 96 and 128 cubic feet each) worth of IT equipment at any time that would require pre-deployment storage.
