RFSO DETAILS:
The Request for Standing Offer (RFSO) may result in the
authorization of up to four (4) Standing Offers for the Ontario
region. Proponents are asked to submit a single proposal in
response to the RFSO. Each resultant Standing Offer will be for
a period of three (3) years. Canada anticipates the total value
of these standing offers to be approximately $10,000,000.00.
The RFSO will be a single submission process. Proposals will be

10 % for price. Standing Offer particulars are described in the
RFSO.
