Provision of technical support services related to energy using products

**Tender summary:** Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) is accepting applications for a supply arrangement to create a pool of suppliers that can provide technical support, research, and analysis related to energy-using products. This is not necessarily a contract for immediate work; suppliers that meet the evaluation requirements may be added to the qualified pool and could later be considered for assignments. The opportunity appears potentially relevant to businesses with expertise in one or more of these areas: 1. Appliances 2. Commercial refrigeration and food-service equipment 3. Lighting 4. Consumer electronics and office electronics 5. Industrial or commercial equipment 6. HVAC and water-heating equipment 7. Building envelope and fenestration assemblies or systems 8. Multi-equipment services Each category is evaluated separately, and a supplier may apply for more than one category. The arrangement has no defined end date and is expected to remain in place while Canada considers it useful. The notice lists a closing date of **March 31, 2040, at 2:00 p.m.**, but this should be confirmed in the official tender documents. **How to submit:** Suppliers must email **[email protected]** to request that a CPC Connect conversation be opened. Submission documents can be provided through that conversation. The current notice cancels and supersedes the previous RFSA. Suppliers already issued an arrangement under the earlier RFSA are generally not required to submit a new arrangement. This opportunity may be worth reviewing for a Canadian business with relevant technical, research, or analytical capabilities, but the information provided does not establish that a company qualifies. Review the official RFSA and evaluation criteria carefully, confirm the current deadline and submission instructions, and verify all requirements with the official Government Electronic Tendering Service notice before submitting.
