RFI Update:
PSPC received several responses to the RFI which were reviewed by an interdepartmental working group.   As well, an independent consulting firm has been hired to conduct a market study of industry’s current low carbon intensity fuel for marine and aviation capabilities and to assist the government in identifying its requirements.  The procurement strategy is still being developed.  Potential Suppliers are still encouraged to submit their responses in accordance with the RFI terms and conditions.

Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) is launching this Request for Information (RFI) to engage industry, through consultation, on its interest, capacity and ability to supply and deliver the requirements of providing drop-in, low-carbon-intensity liquid fuels from renewable feedstocks for the Government of Canada’s air and marine fleets. 

To ensure the successful procurement of the above requirement, Canada seeks to engage industry through this RFI process.

This is not a bid solicitation. This RFI may not result in issuance of a solicitation and will not result in the award of any contract. As a result, interested 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 interested supplier responds to this RFI, this 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 information and feedback from industry with respect to the matters described in this RFI.
