Multidisciplinary Expertise to Support Regulatory Project Reviews, and Regional Guidance and Tool Review and Development

Fish and Fish Habitat Protection Program (FFHPP) of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) has a requirement to establish a sole Standing Offer for a multidisciplinary team with expertise in fluvial geomorphology, hydrogeology, hydrology, fisheries, and fish habitat that will support the assessment of projects submitted for review that have the potential to impact fish and fish habitat in the Ontario and Prairie Region. Canada intends to establish one (1) Standing Offer (SO) with a qualified supplier who can provide the services to meet the general needs outlined in the Statement of Work (Annex A). The period of the Standing Offer will be from date of SO issuance until March 31, 2029. The Request for Standing Offers (RFSO) is to establish a Regional Individual Standing Offer for the delivery of the requirements detailed in the RFSO, to the Identified Users across Canada, excluding locations within Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Quebec, and Labrador that are subject to Comprehensive Land Claims Agreements (CLCAs). Any requirement for deliveries to locations within CLCAs areas within Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Quebec, or Labrador will be treated as a separate procurement, outside of the resulting standing offers. The requirement is subject to the Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA).
