Geospatial data processing work

Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) is inviting suppliers to become pre-qualified under a Supply Arrangement for professional geospatial data processing services. This appears relevant to Canadian businesses with capabilities in one or more of the following areas: (1) acquisition, structuring and normalization of vector data; (2) dematerialization and processing of raster data; (3) aerial photo processing; and (4) dematerialization of aerial photos. Businesses may submit an arrangement for one or more categories, with each category evaluated separately. This is an ongoing qualification opportunity rather than a single project contract. Existing pre-qualified suppliers under the earlier RFSA versions do not need to submit a new arrangement, according to the notice. Arrangements are accepted throughout the solicitation period. To be considered in the annual evaluation held in July, submissions must be received by June 30 of that year; later submissions are expected to be considered in the following annual evaluation period. The Supply Arrangement has no defined end date and is expected to remain in place while Canada considers it useful. The opportunity is associated with Quebec and Canada-wide services, although the supplied listing gives limited location detail. The notice indicates that amendment C-001 made administrative changes only and that the Statement of Work and evaluation criteria were unchanged. The current notice supersedes earlier solicitation versions, including RFSA NRCAN-5000054560, NRCAN-5000054560/A and NRCAN-5000054560/B. Before preparing a submission, review the complete official RFSA, Statement of Work, evaluation criteria, amendments and question-and-answer documents. Confirm the applicable submission process, mandatory requirements, category-specific experience, security or technical requirements, and the next evaluation deadline directly in the official tender documents. This summary does not establish that a business qualifies or that work will be awarded.
