OTTAWA, Sept. 11, 2012 /CNW/ - The Canadian Numbering Administration Consortium (CNAC) issued on September 10, 2012 a Request for Proposals (RFP) from vendors to perform the role of Canadian Numbering Administrator (CNA).
The CNA is the entity responsible for administering and issuing telephone numbers in Canada.

The CNA role is currently performed by Science Applications International Corporation of Canada (SAIC Canada), which has also been invited to submit a proposal.
CNAC is owned and operated by members of the Canadian telecommunications industry. CNAC has been delegated by the CRTC the responsibility of supervising the administration of numbering resources in Canada, including contracting with a vendor to perform the CNA role. CNAC will also be the party that selects from the responses to the RFP the independent third-party vendor to perform the CNA role under a five year contract commencing 1 January 2014 and ending on 31 December 2018.
