Cloth, Coated, Nylon/Polyurethane, 235 g/m², CADPAT™ Multi-Terrain (MT)

The Department of National Defence is seeking to establish up to two Standing Offers for the production, packaging, labelling, and Delivered Duty Paid delivery of 235 g/m² nylon/polyurethane coated cloth featuring the CADPAT Multi-Terrain pattern. This material will serve as Government Supplied Material for the Soldier Operational Clothing and Equipment Modernization Program to produce tactical vests, pouches, and rucksacks. The estimated requirement is approximately 150,000 linear metres over the Standing Offer period, though this figure is for planning purposes and does not represent a minimum commitment. To ensure supply chain diversity, Canada requires that the two selected production sources utilize different physical printing facilities. Eligible Canadian suppliers must submit a technical offer including a physical bid sample and supporting documentation, a financial offer with firm unit pricing across specified quantity ranges, and required administrative forms. Evaluation is based on technical compliance with specifications such as Near Infrared Reflectance and colorfastness, with the award granted to compliant offers with the lowest Evaluated Offer Price, which accounts for a 10 percent Canadian Supplier Reduction and a Canadian Value Factor. Bidders must obtain printing materials from a list of five authorized printers and adhere to strict CADPAT intellectual property and non-disclosure requirements. All deliverables are subject to inspection and acceptance by Canada based on detailed technical matrices and DND standard textile samples.
