2 trailer

The Department of National Defence, on behalf of the Canadian Armed Forces and through the Valcartier Support Base, 2nd Canadian Division, is seeking to lease two 45-metric-ton low-bed flatbed trailers from a private-sector provider under solicitation W0106-26P004/B. The contract requires full compliance with mandatory technical specifications including trailer dimensions, hydraulic system performance, axle configuration, and weight capacity, with eligibility determined through a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation process. Offers must be submitted via the Government Electronic Tendering Service by August 10, 2026, and are subject to strict delivery terms under Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) conditions to locations in Quebec, excluding the National Capital Region, with primary performance centered at the Valcartier Support Base. The performance period spans from August 17, 2026, to March 31, 2027, with optional three-month renewals available through March 2031, though no pricing values are specified in the solicitation, leaving the total contract value undetermined. Contractors must demonstrate compliance with Canadian regulatory frameworks including employment equity obligations under the Federal Contractors Program, certify against forced labor practices, and adhere to anti-sanctions and reciprocity requirements, while also providing documentation, insurance, and audit access as stipulated in the contract clauses. Inspection and acceptance are solely the responsibility of the Government, occurring at the delivery location after notification of readiness, with formal acceptance required within 30 days. There are no security clearance requirements, and while key personnel availability must be certified, substitutions are permitted only under exceptional circumstances with equivalent qualifications. All submissions must conform to standardized forms and declaration requirements as outlined in the annexes, and failures to meet mandatory technical criteria will result in automatic disqualification regardless of bid price.
