PASS RFSA Refresh
Public summary
Generated or condensed from imported source text. Verify before bidding.
This appears to be an open Government of Canada Request for Supply Arrangement (RFSA) refresh issued by Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) for Professional Audit and Support Services (PASS). It is intended to give new suppliers an opportunity to seek a PASS Supply Arrangement and to allow existing suppliers to seek additional streams during the arrangement’s validity period. The arrangement is a procurement vehicle, not a contract. Being accepted into it would not guarantee work; future requirements may be competed among suppliers and would require a separate contract award. The services relate to federal government needs connected with internal audit and financial management obligations. The opportunity may be relevant to Canadian or foreign professional-services firms with suitable audit, financial management, or related support-service capabilities, but the notice does not by itself establish that any particular business is eligible. Key points: -Buyer: Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) -Status shown: Open -Listed closing date: July 31, 2028, at 2:00 p.m. -Listed locations: Canada, foreign locations, and remote/offsite work, including Gatineau, Quebec -Category: Services -Submission system: Suppliers must create an account in the CPSS Supplier Module e-Portal and submit part of their arrangement through that system. - The notice states that the current closing date for the applicable refresh period must be confirmed in the CPSS solicitation dashboard. - Existing PASS suppliers are not required to resubmit merely to maintain their current arrangement. Before proceeding, review the complete RFSA and all attachments, confirm the applicable stream requirements, experience and other conditions, registration steps, submission format, and the current closing date in the official Canada Buys/CPSS materials. The provided notice has no direct official-source URL, so the linked documents and CPSS dashboard should be checked carefully before submitting.
