Background of this Request for Information (RFI)
Canada is committed to greening its supply chain. In April 2006, Canada issued a policy directing federal departments and agencies to take the necessary steps to incorporate environmental considerations into the procurement process. The Policy on Green Procurement http://www.tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca/ecologisation-greening/achats-procur ement/politique-policy-eng.html was introduced in order to acquire products and services that have a lower impact on the environment than those traditionally acquired.
Environmentally preferable goods and services are those that have a lesser or reduced impact on the environment over the life cycle of the goods or services, when compared with currently goods or services serving the same purpose. Environmental performance considerations include, among other things: the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and air contaminants; improved energy and water efficiency; reduced waste and support reuse and recycling; the use of renewable resources; reduced hazardous waste; and reduced toxic and hazardous substances.
PWGSC wants to understand how the Ground Services industry has progressed in greening its own supply chain and operations and the goods and services it provides. Upcoming procurement solicitations may include evaluation criterias (either mandatory and/or rated) or contractual requirements related to the environment. PWGSC is currently gathering information so that it can consider appropriate environmental evaluation criteria and/or contractual requirements for future procurements.
Purpose of this Request for Information This Request for Information (RFI) includes questions related to green procurement that will be used to assist the Government of Canada to understand the Ground Services industry's progress in greening its supply chain and operations.
Nature of a Request for Information This is not a bid solicitation. This RFI will not result in the award of any contract. As a result, potential suppliers of any goods or services described in this RFI should not reserve stock or facilities, nor allocate resources, as a result of any information contained in this RFI. Nor will this RFI result in the creation of any source list. Therefore, whether or not any potential supplier responds to this RFI will not preclude that supplier from participating in any future procurement. Also, the procurement of any of the goods and services described in this RFI will not necessarily follow this RFI. This RFI is simply intended to solicit feedback from industry with respect to the matters described herein.
Response Costs Canada will not reimburse any respondent for expenses incurred in responding to this RFI.
Treatment of Responses Responses will not be evaluated. However, all responses received by the RFI closing date (Thursday, January 31st, 2013 at 14h00-EST) will be reviewed by Canada and may be used to develop environmental evaluation criteria for future solicitations. Because this is not a bid solicitation, Canada will not necessarily respond to enquiries in writing or by circulating answers to all respondents.
Confidentiality Respondents should mark any portions of their response that they consider proprietary or confidential. Canada will handle the responses in accordance with the Access to Information Act.
