The period for awarding contracts under the Supply Arrangements is from issuance to December 31st, 2020. If the Supply Arrangement is authorized for use beyond the initial period, the Supplier offers to extend its arrangement for three (3) additional one (1) year periods. A Notice will be posted once a year on buyandsell.gc.ca to allow new suppliers to become qualified.

Any requirement for deliveries within CLCAs areas within Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Quebec, or Labrador will have to be treated as a separate procurement outside the resulting Contract.

A portion of this procurement is set aside under the federal government Procurement Strategy for Aboriginal Business. For more information on Aboriginal business requirements of the Set-aside Program for Aboriginal Business, refer to Annex 9.4 of the Supply Manual.
