Cables/Connectors SA

The Department of National Defence through the 202 Workshop Depot is soliciting bids for the procurement of 53 electrical and electronic components under Supply Arrangement E60HN-16ELEC, which governs electrical and electronic products. The requirement includes connectors, cables, backshells, boots, terminals, adapters, and test equipment, each identified by specific military part numbers such as D38999, M39012, and M85049, along with associated NATO Stock Numbers (NSNs) for traceability and logistics. Bidders must submit firm unit prices in Canadian dollars via the prescribed Excel file W1985-26B020-PRICING-PRIX.xlsx, with all deliveries required on a Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) basis to the designated location in Montreal, Quebec. Pricing must exclude GST/HST for evaluation purposes, and all items must comply with technical specifications outlined in Annex A, with equivalent products permitted only if clearly highlighted and deemed interchangeable under Clause B3000T. Delivery is expected to occur in progressive lots based on availability, with an urgent timeframe implied by the solicitation’s nature and the May 28, 2026 deadline for submissions. Contract administration is managed by Marie Pier Aspell as the Procuring Contracting Officer, with Jason Guay serving as the Technical Authority responsible for evaluating compliance with technical requirements and equivalency approvals. Evaluation is based on four primary factors: technical compliance with specifications, acceptability of proposed equivalent products, firm pricing under DDP terms, and delivery lead time, though no numerical weights or scoring thresholds are provided, suggesting a pass/fail approach for technical criteria followed by price and timing comparisons. The contract is structured as a multiple-award supply arrangement allowing for individual item awards and permitting bidders to omit items they cannot supply. While military-grade part numbers imply adherence to U.S. or NATO standards, no explicit reference is made to MIL-STD packaging, preservation, or marking requirements, and no formal inspection procedures or payment details are included. The solicitation does not require UEI or CAGE codes nor solicit socioeconomic certifications, and no contract clauses from the FAR or DFARS are incorporated into the documentation, with all terms governed by the supply arrangement, the annex, and the outlined submission conditions.
