**THIS IS A REPUBLICATION OF THE "PASS RFSA Refresh 2018" NOTICE PREVIOUSLY POSTED AT https://canadabuys.canada.ca/en/tender-opportunities/tender-notice/pw-zq-006-34673** This solicitation is a Request for Supply Arrangement (RFSA). Resulting Supply Arrangements (SAs) are non-binding agreements between Canada and suppliers to facilitate the procurement process and are not contracts. Future requirements solicited through a SA may result in contracts, but a contract will only exist if and when a contract is awarded. The Professional Audit and Support Services (PASS) SA is a federal government-wide mandatory procurement tool for the provision of professional services required to meet obligations set by two Treasury Board policies: the Policy on Internal Audit and the Policy on Financial Management. This Refresh solicitation provides the opportunity to New Suppliers to qualify for a PASS SA; it also provides Existing Suppliers the opportunity to qualify for more Streams, etc., throughout the validity period of the PASS SA. *PLEASE NOTE: Existing Suppliers are NOT REQUIRED to submit an arrangement to this solicitation in order to maintain their PASS SA as is.* …

What work like this goes for

Half of the 95 award notices for the same commodity code were between $104,404 and $719,027; the middle one was $242,950. Values as awarded, in Canadian dollars, and often including option years.

How many bids to expect

Public Services and Procurement Canada’s competitive contracts of $25,000 or more since Apr 2022 drew a median of 1 bid; 56% drew a single bid (7,846 contracts).

Bid counts as the department reported them to the Treasury Board. Departments count differently, so compare within one buyer, not across buyers.

How this buyer buys

Of Public Services and Procurement Canada’s 22,532 contracts since Apr 2022, 28% were non-competitive and 0% were call-ups against standing offers or supply arrangements, which only firms already on those lists can win. How to get on them

Room for smaller firms

12% of the 101 award notices for the same commodity class went to suppliers with under $1 million in federal contracts since Jan 2004.

Sources: CanadaBuys award notices since Aug 2022 (October 12, 2026); Treasury Board contracts data, bid counts from Apr 2022 on (October 13, 2026). Buyers are matched by name; Crown corporations such as Defence Construction Canada are not in the Treasury Board data.
