### Important clarification

**No price is required.**

I am interested in the **product master/catalogue information and selling unit/pack configuration**, not pricing.

The important requirement is being able to determine:

> **What exactly is one retail selling unit of this product?**

For example:

* 500 g
* 1 kg
* 2 × 500 g
* 6 × 1 L
* 12 × 355 ml
* 24 cans
* 8 rolls
* 100 tablets
* 3 pieces

Please preserve the **original pack description** and also provide a **standardized quantity/unit** wherever conversion is possible.

### Data quality requirements

* Canada only
* Current/fresh data
* English product names
* Valid barcode/UPC wherever available
* Store SKU/item number wherever available
* No prices required
* Deduplicate products
* Clearly identify retailer
* CSV or Excel delivery preferred

### Before awarding the project

Please provide a **sample of 100–200 real products** from the requested Canadian retailers.

The sample must include:

**Retailer + Product Name + Barcode/UPC + Store SKU + Pack Size + Pack Configuration + Standardized Quantity + Unit**

Also state:

1. Approximate number of products you can provide from each retailer.
2. Percentage of products with UPC/barcode.
3. Percentage with store SKU/item number.
4. How fresh/current the data is.
5. Whether you can provide recurring updated datasets.
