Following the renewal of Task-Based Request for Standing Offers and Supply Arrangements (RFSOSA), Solicitation No. E60ZN-13TSPS/B reference number: PW-$$ZN-003-25969 and pursuant to the Financial Evaluation methodology set out in the solicitation as extracted hereunder:

2. Conduct of Financial Evaluation PWGSC will conduct a financial evaluation against all technically responsive bids by comparing the relative cost of the per diem rates in each Region and Metropolitan area for each Category and Level of Expertise.

Any offer proposing a per diem rate that falls between the "Median" minus 30% and the "Median" plus 30% for a specific Category and Level of Expertise within a Region and Metropolitan Area will be considered financially responsive and recommended for the issuance of a standing offer.

The "Median" will be calculated based on the per diem rates submitted by all bidders for that Category, Level, Region, and Metropolitan area. A "Median" is the middle offer in a set of offers whereby half the offers are greater and half are lower. For example in the following set of numbers: 100, 150, 200, 400, 900, the median would be 200, while the median minus 30% would be 140 and the median plus 30% would be 260. In the following set of numbers: 100, 150, 200, 300, 400, 900, the median would be 250, while the median minus 30% would be 175 and the median plus 30% would be 325.
