Overview
Benchmark tests on offered equipment are mandatory and must be conducted as part of the evaluation. The Benchmark tests must be conducted by the testing authority, NSTL Canada Corp. (NSTL), at the NSTL test site located in the National Capital Area. The benchmark procedures have been established in cooperation with NSTL. All questions and concerns about these procedures must be addressed to the Contracting Authority. Failure to comply with the benchmark test procedures may result in disqualification of an Offer without further notice.

Nature of Testing
The benchmark testing procedure is not a pass/fail evaluation, unless the benchmark testing reveals that a printer does not meet a mandatory requirement of the solicitation. It is used to generate a score based on the performance (speed), quality of output, features and usability of the printer. This score is used in the determination of Value Factor. The data generated through the benchmark testing will be used for evaluation and posted on the IPMG site.
