BEARING, HALF SLEEVE

The Department of National Defence is soliciting bids for four line items of bearing half sleeves, part numbers F809638-011CPF and F809638-012CPF, both manufactured by THORDON BEARINGS INC with NCAGE code 0S1K7, under solicitation number W8482-264729/A. The items are required at CFB Halifax and CFB Esquimalt, with quantities of ten and four units respectively for each part number, delivered under DDP terms in accordance with Incoterms 2020. Bidders may propose equivalent or substitute products but must provide full brand, model, part number, and NCAGE details, and all submissions must comply with mandatory technical criteria including valid specifications and warranty assurances. The solicitation is conducted under a lowest priced technically acceptable framework, with evaluation based strictly on compliance with technical and certification requirements before price comparison. Canadian content certification is mandatory, and non-compliance results in rejection. Contractors must adhere to stringent packaging standards—D-LM-008-001/SF-001 for Canadian suppliers, MIL-STD-2073 for U.S., and TL8100-0100 for EU—with corresponding marking requirements including UCC/EAN-128 barcodes using application identifiers 241 or 7001, human-readable interpretations, and compliance with dangerous goods labeling under Canadian transportation and hazardous products regulations. Quality systems must conform to ISO 9001:2015, and inspection occurs at destination by the Government, which retains right to audit at any stage. Offers must be submitted via CPC Connect by July 10, 2026, in three defined sections: technical, financial, and declaration forms, with PDFs taking precedence over spreadsheets. Security clearances are conditionally required should classified information be involved, and contractors must affirm compliance with anti-forced labor, international sanctions, controlled goods program, and employment equity obligations. No contract value is specified, as pricing fields remain empty, and the award will be made on an item-by-item basis to the lowest compliant bidder. All submissions must avoid conflicts of interest, prohibit contingency fees, and ensure personnel possess appropriate qualifications, with no options for modification or extension included in the solicitation.
