Antennas for Automobile

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police is procuring antennas for its unmarked vehicle fleet under solicitation number 202602058/A, with a strict delivery deadline of August 30, 2026. The requirement specifies the supply and delivery of five distinct antenna types and hardware components, totaling 90 units, including UHF antennas for specific vehicle models such as the Ford F-150 2021 and Chevrolet Silverado 2012, along with mounting hardware. All devices must comply with the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, and be certified by a Standards Council of Canada-accredited body. Bids are restricted to Canadian suppliers under the Policy on Reciprocal Procurement, and only those submitting fully responsive bids meeting all stated requirements will be considered. The award will be made to the lowest-priced compliant bid, with evaluation potentially limited to bidders possessing a valid PSIB certification if two or more such bids are received. All submissions must be emailed as three separate PDF files—technical, financial, and certifications—each under 5MB in total size, with no zip files or external links permitted. The contracting authority, Elie El Khouri of the RCMP, requires mandatory certifications including a Declaration of Independent Bid Determination, Reciprocal Procurement Declaration, and Environmentally Preferable Packaging Declaration, along with a valid Procurement Business Number. Packaging must adhere to environmentally preferable standards outlined in the Statement of Requirement, with responsibilities for recyclability, reuse, and take-back of non-compliant materials falling entirely to the contractor at no additional cost to Canada. Payment will be made at a firm unit price including customs duties but excluding taxes, under DDP Incoterms 2020 terms to the specified delivery point in Westmount, Quebec. Invoices must include separate line items corresponding to each payment clause and be sent electronically to both the contracting and technical authorities. Non-compliance with certifications, failure to disclose conflicts of interest, or breach of packaging or delivery requirements may result in bid rejection or contract default. Disputes must first be resolved through negotiation within 25 working days, with recourse available to the Office of the Procurement Ombud if unresolved.
