BOLT ASSEMBLY

The Department of National Defence is soliciting bids for 500 Bolt Assemblies (Part Number 113-05-001, GSIN 5340, NCAGE 58475, Manufacturer L-3 Communications Westwood Corporation), with 300 units to be delivered to CFB Halifax, Nova Scotia, and 200 units to CFB Esquimalt, British Columbia. Bidders may propose equivalent or substitute products but must provide full technical specifications, including brand name, model, part number, and NCAGE code. All deliveries must be made on a Delivery Duty Paid (DDP) basis, meaning the contractor assumes full responsibility for transportation, insurance, duties, and customs clearance until the items are received at the designated Canadian Forces bases. Packaging and marking must strictly comply with Canadian Defence Logistics Manual standards (D-LM-008-001/SF-001 and D-LM-008-002/SF-001), or MIL-STD-2073 and MIL-STD-129 for U.S.-based contractors, including UCC/EAN-128 barcoding with Application Identifiers 241 (PSCN) and 7001 (NSN), along with human-readable interpretation. Preservation methods must align with item-specific service life requirements as defined in the Annex Statement of Requirement, and all markings must remain legible throughout the item’s service life. The offeror must certify that at least 80% of the goods and services provided are Canadian in origin, and failure to meet this threshold results in automatic disqualification. Technical compliance with all packaging, marking, certification, and equivalency requirements is mandatory and judged on a pass/fail basis, with award determined solely by the lowest evaluated price among technically acceptable offers, following a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology. The contractor must also adhere to strict anti-bribery, anti-forced labour, international sanctions, and organizational conflict of interest provisions, with records to be retained for seven years after final payment. Invoices must be submitted via email to designated accounts payable offices in Halifax and Esquimalt, including the contract number, client reference, and valid financial codes, although specific AAC, TAS, or ACRN values are not provided in the solicitation. Offers must be submitted electronically via CPC Connect by July 13, 2026, at
