Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) on behalf of Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) is launching this Request for Information (RFI) in order to seek information and feedback from industry on design, construction, delivery, and maintenance of 3 mobile units (2 laboratory and one command centre with the ability to flex into additional lab space as needed), offering customizable and scalable response capabilities, in accordance with the current Canadian Biosafety Standards and Guidelines and Canadian Electrical Code.

The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to achieve the following:

a) Provide industry with an early opportunity to assess, comment and suggest changes to the RFP; b) Determine the capability of industry to satisfy the requirements; c) Obtain industry feedback on any issues that would impact their ability to bid on the resulting solicitation and/or deliver on the department’s requirements; d) Gather industry knowledge, expertise and recommendations with regard to best practices that would increase the success of the solicitation and/or identify any risks that would impact the solicitation; e) Enhance competition, access and fairness of the resulting solicitation; and f) Inform industry and the government to ensure that the formal RFP process moves forward efficiently and has a high probability of success.

Respondents are requested to provide answers and feedback.

This is not a bid solicitation. This RFI will not result in the award of any contract. As a result, potential suppliers of any goods or services described in this RFI should not reserve stock or facilities, nor allocate resources, as a result of any information contained in this RFI. Nor will this RFI result in the creation of any source list.

Furthermore, whether or not any potential supplier responds to this RFI, this will not preclude that supplier from participating in any future procurement. Also, the procurement of any of the goods and services described in this RFI will not necessarily follow this RFI.

This RFI is simply intended to solicit information and feedback from industry with respect to the matters described in this RFI.

Canada will not reimburse any respondent for expenses incurred in responding to this RFI.

Suppliers interested in providing a response should deliver it electronically to the attention of the Contracting Authority (Zeljka Omerzo) by the time and the date on page 1 of the RFI to the email address indicated in Part 2 section 2.6 (Zeljka.Omerzo@pwgsc-tpsgc.gc.ca). Delivery Date: Above-mentioned

The Crown retains the right to negotiate with suppliers on any procurement.
