The Department of National Defence (DND) is purchasing a Token Inventory Management System (TIMS) to manage the inventory of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) smart cards and other tokens. These tokens are used in both unclassified and classified IT network domains.
TIMS will manage the inventory of smart cards and other tokens across the department. It will only be accessible by authorized DND/Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) personnel who order smart cards from a single, central inventory held in Ottawa. These personnel are referred to as Local Registration Authorities (LRAs) who register PKI users and issue them a token.
TIMS will be used by LRAs to order more smart cards/tokens and to track the number they are holding at any one time. The centralized authority will use TIMS to track the total number of smart cards and tokens across the department as well as to complete the orders for new tokens by LRAs. Names and mailing addresses of the LRAs will be stored within TIMS. The specific use-cases of TIMS are defined within this RFP.
The requirement is subject to the provisions of the World Trade Organization Agreement on Government Procurement (WTO-AGP), the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), and the Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA).
