This Request for Supply Arrangement (RFSA) uses Portable Document Format (PDF) technology. To access the PDF form, suplpiers must have a PDF reader installed. If suppliers do not already have such a reader, there are several PDF readers available on the Internet. It is recommended to use the latest version of PDF reader to benefit all features of the interactive forms.
The Translation Bureau (the Bureau) is a special operating agency (SOA) reporting to the Department of Public Works and Government Services Canada. The Bureau is responsible for supporting the Government of Canada in its efforts to provide services to and inform Canadians in the official language of their choice.
The Bureau fulfills its mission by providing translation services and products to Parliament, the judiciary, federal departments and agencies, and international organizations.
The Bureau would like to renew its directory of translation services suppliers and set up supply arrangements with pre-qualified suppliers in order to simplify the contracting process, improve the predictability of the procurement of translation services and make its contracting procedures more transparent so that the Bureau and its suppliers can get the most out of this tool.
Suppliers should refer to Attachment 2 to Part 1 - Concordance Table of the RFSA, which provides matches between specialties and fields of work.
The Translation Bureau is launching a Request for Supply Arrangements (RFSA) process so that supply arrangements (SAs) with qualified suppliers can be issued for the purpose of meeting its requirements in two service categories: Official Languages Translation, and Transcription and Desktop Publishing.
The list of pre-qualified suppliers resulting from the RFSA will be used as a source list for the requirements listed in the preceding paragraph. Only suppliers that are pre-qualified at the time the individual bid solicitations are issued will be able to bid.
Suppliers should refer to Attachment 1 to Part 1 - Total Number of Words Translated of the RFSA, which provides a summary of the word volume in the Official Languages Translation category over the last three fiscal years.
The Identified Users (IUs) for this requirement will be Public Works and Government Services Canada's (PWGSC's) Translation Bureau and Linguistic Services Division (part of the Acquisitions Branch).
The supply arrangements will have no defined end-date and will remain valid until Canada deems it no longer beneficial to use them.
For service requirements, suppliers in receipt of a pension or a lump sum payment must provide the required information as detailed in section 4 of Part 2 of the Request for Supply Arrangements (RFSA).
The contract resulting from a Supply Arrangement is not to be used for deliveries within a Comprehensive Land Claims Settlement Area (CLCSA). All requirements for delivery within a CLCSA are to be processed individually.
3. Security Requirement
There is no security requirement associated with this requirement.
However, resulting contracts under the Supply Arrangement may have security requirements.
Therefore, it is important that suppliers quickly contact PWGSC's Canadian and International Industrial Security Directorate (CIISD) to obtain the required security clearance.
For information purposes, suppliers who hold a valid security clearance are asked to provide with their arrangement the information as per Section III - Additional Information of Part 3 of the RFSA.
For additional information on security requirements, suppliers should refer to Part 6 - Supply Arrangement and Resulting Contract Clauses of the RFSA.
4. Canadian Content
The goods and/or services covered by the Supply Arrangement may be limited to Canadian goods and/or services as defined in clause A3050T.
