The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) is seeking a National Individual Standing Offer (NISO) for the independent electrical testing of Axon Taser 7 Conducted Energy Weapons (CEWs), with an anticipated start date of October 1, 2026. The initial term of the standing offer is five years, with the option to extend it for up to three additional one-year periods at the government’s discretion. Only Canadian suppliers and suppliers from applicable trading partners are eligible to bid, and offers must strictly comply with all mandatory technical criteria outlined in Attachment 1 to Part 4, with failure to meet any single requirement resulting in immediate disqualification. The selection process is based solely on the lowest evaluated price among responsive offers, with no weighted evaluation factors applied. Each offer must be submitted via email in four separately saved PDF sections: Technical Offer, Financial Offer, Certifications, and Additional Information, with pricing visible only in the Financial Offer section. The work requires an approved Electrical Engineer to perform monthly testing and deliver a detailed Excel report including serial numbers, trigger pulls, and compliance data against Axon Enterprise’s specifications, with quarterly data submissions due within ten days after the end of each fiscal quarter. All testing must occur in a Canadian laboratory certified to ISO/IEC 17025 and traceable to national standards, and all personnel involved must hold a valid Enhanced Reliability Status (ERS) security clearance. CEWs must be shipped using Purolator’s Chain of Signature service or an authorized courier licensed by the Canadian Firearms Registrar, with packaging and documentation strictly concealed to avoid identification as weapons or prohibited devices, labeling contents only as “MACHINE TOOLS” or “MACHINE PARTS.” Deliverables are subject to inspection by the Project Authority, and any non-compliant items must be corrected at the contractor’s sole expense. Invoicing requires line-item separation matching Annex B’s payment structure and must be certified by the contractor as accurate and complete. Payment can be received via Visa or MasterCard Acquisition Card for amounts under $10,000, direct deposit, EDI, or international wire transfer. The contractor must maintain continuous compliance with all certifications, notify the Standing Offer Authority of any business location changes, and ensure subcontractors are bound by conditions no less favorable than those in the main contract. Environmental certifications such as ISO 14001 or LEED are encouraged to support green procurement goals, and participation in the Indigenous Business Directory is advised to enhance visibility for potential set-aside opportunities.
