Solicitation No. 47054-124625/A
Request for Proposal on behalf of Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) for the Trusted Traveller Kiosk and Iris Recognition Technology Project
Solicitation Amendment 012 changes the close date of the Bid Solicitation from October 3, 2012 to October 9, 2012.
The Trusted Traveller Programs are designed to expedite the border clearance process for low risk travellers. The self-service Kiosks allow program members expedited passage by providing member authentication, passage risk assessment, and customs traveller declaration functionality that would otherwise be done via a conventional primary inspection. Pre-registered and pre-approved members can benefit from smooth and quick travel into Canada by choosing to use a self-service Kiosk rather than obtaining clearance through the traditional customs lineups. There is no need to speak with customs or immigration officers unless referred or selected randomly for further inspection. This allows the Client's officers to focus resources on unknown and higher risk arriving travellers.
Self-service Kiosk technology has been part of the Client's facilitated border initiatives since they were introduced in Vancouver in 1995 as part of a pilot project. The self-service Kiosks became an official Client tool with the launching of CANPASS Air in July 2003. In 2004, a Canada-US bi-national program NEXUS was launched.
The client currently owns and operates 68 Trusted Traveller Kiosks using iris recognition biometric technology deployed at Canada's eight major international airports including in the United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) pre-clearance areas. The Kiosks have been in operation since 2003. The Client plans to initially replace 45 of the existing Kiosks and peripherals, and iris-related infrastructure (including iris cameras and the iris matcher). The client does not plan on replacing the kiosks located at US pre-clearance sites.
PWGSC will select a Contractor who will be responsible for the replacement of existing self-service Kiosks and current iris biometric technology with new self-service Kiosks and iris biometric technology for delivery to multiple locations across Canada. A Request for Proposal with Statement of Work (SOW) is being issued to solicit proposals from the interested bidders for the supply, delivery and assembly of kiosks.
