The Government of Canada, through the Department of National Defence, is seeking a vendor to design, manufacture, test, and deliver a single 1250 kVA three-phase autotransformer to enable the Canadian Coast Guard’s Arctic and Offshore Patrol Ship to interface with existing 450 VAC shore power infrastructure at DND facilities. The unit must step up voltage from 450 VAC to 600 VAC to match the ship’s requirements and must be built to meet CSA and UL standards with copper windings, Class 220 insulation, ambient air cooling, and a CSA Type 3R enclosure in ANSI 61 grey. The transformer must not exceed 8,000 kg in weight and must fit entirely within the interior space of a standard 20-foot ISO 668 Type 1C freight container, allowing for safe maintenance access, ventilation, and proper high-voltage cable routing. All dimensions, terminal positions, and maintenance envelopes must be submitted for approval before manufacturing begins. The vendor must hold an ISO 9001 certified quality management system and conduct Factory Acceptance Testing at an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited facility according to specified standards including CSA C9, UL 5085-2, and IEEE C57.12.91. The bid must include full documentation in electronic PDF format prior to shipment, including certified test reports, general and terminal arrangement drawings, electrical schematics, operation and maintenance manuals, and a warranty certificate guaranteeing at least 12 months of coverage. Delivery of the complete unit must occur within 14 weeks of contract award and be shipped DDP to a designated location in Halifax, Nova Scotia. This RFQ is strictly for planning and estimation purposes and does not obligate the Government of Canada to award a contract; final award is contingent upon internal approvals, budget availability, and compliance with public procurement procedures including the posting of an Advanced Contract Award Notice on Canada Buys. All costs associated with proposal preparation are the sole responsibility of the vendor.
