Description

NOTICE OF PROPOSED PROCUREMENT (NPP)

Solicitation No.: 2BH187790/A

Department: Shared Services Canada

Notification Period: 11 days (04/16/2021 to 04/27/2021)

Description of Requirement:

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police have a requirement for Apple products. Since the virtualization of the Apple operating system is restricted by Apple’s licensing to only be possible on their own hardware, the Mac gives our digital forensic researchers the ability to virtualize all operating systems (including OS X/MacOS) as necessary in order for them to find digital forensic solutions to atypical digital exhibits (i.e., devices, media or data), and they can even natively boot any of those operating systems (including MacOS) on the Mac hardware in a multi-boot setup as necessary. Equivalent products will be accepted.

Delivery Destination Area:

Ottawa, Ontario

Delivery Date:

30 federal government working days from contract award.

Security Requirements:

Comprehensive Land Claim Agreements (CLCA):
