Description
Purpose and nature of the Request for Information (RFI)

The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) is informing the education, nutrition, and youth and science coutreach sectors of the Government of Canada’s intent to launch a Request for Proposal (RFP). The RFP is for creating hands-on health and nutrition activities linking science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) with long-duration space missions, targeted to groups underrepresented in STEM studies and careers such as Indigenous youth in grades 6, 7, 8, and 9 residing in the Inuit Nunangat region and Northern Canada. Our goal is for the resulting activities of the initiative to be available for use in classrooms, youth clubs, organizations, and science centres, heritage centres, and museums in Inuit Nunangat and Northern Canada with the possibility of implementing these activities across Canada.

The CSA is a federal government agency responsible for advancing the knowledge of space through science and using its discoveries for the good of Canadians and all of humanity. The goal of the initiative is to use space to engage and inspire youth, in particular Indigenous youth, in pursuing studies in STEM and eventually space careers.

The objectives of the RFI are as follows:

To inform the interested sectors of the Request for Proposal including the statement of work (SOW) proposed (Appendix A);
To engage suppliers to suggest innovative ideas and concepts that would be compatible with the objectives of the requirement (Appendix B);
Collect information and factors to be considered in a potential RFP;
Collect information regarding potential reach of the proposed initiative;
Collect information regarding potential activity designs and target audiences;
Determine Indigenous business capacity and considerations.
