a Pole-Setting Truck

Canada is seeking offers for the rental of a Pole-Setting Truck under solicitation W0106-26P017/A, issued by the Department of National Defence on June 29, 2026, with proposals due by June 28, 2026. The contract period runs from July 1, 2026, to December 1, 2027, with performance to be delivered at Garnison Valcartier in Quebec, excluding the National Capital Region. The solicitation follows a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation model, where offers must first satisfy all mandatory technical criteria—including compliance with Canada’s Ineligibility and Suspension Policy, accurate submission of information, and use of Canadian-sourced materials—before being considered for award based on the lowest evaluated price. There is no requirement for security clearances, and no key personnel are specified by name, though the Contractor must ensure all staff are qualified and capable. The equipment must be new, unused, off-the-shelf, and conform to manufacturer specifications, with no refurbished parts permitted unless explicitly authorized. Delivery is on a Delivery Duty Paid (DDP) basis, meaning the Contractor assumes all transportation, packaging, and risk until final delivery. Canada may exercise an option to purchase the leased truck after the rental period. The Contractor is responsible for site preparation and will reimburse Canada for any additional costs incurred due to errors in the prepared site. All work is subject to government inspection and acceptance at the delivery location, with failure to meet specifications requiring correction at no extra cost. The Contractor must comply with anti-forced labor laws, international sanctions, and Canada’s Conflict of Interest Act, and is prohibited from offering bribes or inducements. Financial records must be retained for seven years post-payment and are subject to audit. Invoicing must include applicable financial codes, and payments will be made via direct deposit or cheque, though no specific remittance details are provided. No barcoding, MIL-STD, or UEI/CAGE requirements apply, and no small business set-asides are in effect. Offerors must complete an Offeror Declaration Form, including disclosures regarding former public servant status or any inability to certify compliance, and must submit proposals only via email, mail, courier, or in-person delivery to the specified address.
