FOOD SERVICES NATIONAL POINT OF SALES (POS) SOLUTION FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF NATIONAL DEFENCE AND THE CANADIAN ARMED FORCES

This bid solicitation is being issued to satisfy the requirement of the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces (the "Client") for a commercially available Point of Sale (POS) Solution (the "POS Solution") for their food services operations. The required POS Solution must include vendor provided hardware and peripherals, the Licensed Software, a 12-month warranty, maintenance and support, and documentation. Training and professional services must also be provided, if requested. The bid solicitation is intended to result in the award of a contract for 1 year, plus 9 irrevocable 1-year options allowing Canada to extend the term of the contract. All parts of the POS Solution must be available to the Client Users 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, in English and French, and operate at all times in accordance with the Statement of Work in the Client's operational environment described in the bid solicitation. The term "Client User" refers to the employees of the Government of Canada, the Minister's office and staff, and other individuals authorized by the Client to perform services in relation to the business and affairs of the Client, including public servants from other departments and contractors or consultants performing work for the Client from time to time. This bid solicitation will also allow Canada to make the POS Solution available to any department or Crown corporation (as those terms are defined in the Financial Administration Act) or any other party for which the Department of Public Works and Government Services is authorized to act from time to time under section 16 of the Department of Public Works and Government Services Act (each a "Client"). Although Canada may make the POS Solution available to any or all the Clients, this bid solicitation does not preclude Canada from using another method of supply for entities of the Government of Canada with the same or similar needs.
