Conference Room Chairs (AMENDMENT)

This procurement amendment solicits the supply, delivery, and installation of 50 leather and 50 vinyl adjustable office chairs for the Canadian Grain Commission in Winnipeg, Manitoba, with a mandatory delivery and installation window between September 1, 2026, and September 30, 2026. The requirement is issued under the PWGSC Supply Arrangement E60PQ-120001/H and is restricted to suppliers pre-qualified under the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business (PSIB); non-SA holders may submit bids but must simultaneously apply for a supply arrangement, with no delay to award pending SA issuance. Technical specifications are mandatory and non-negotiable, requiring chairs to have a minimum 275 lb weight capacity, 28-inch high backrest, fully adjustable and lockable T-armrests, synchro tilt mechanism, adjustable seat depth and height, memory foam or triple-density seat cushion, and independent backrest adjustment. Warranty compliance is critical: a 10-year warranty covers all standard components including casters, pneumatic cylinders, and arms; user-adjustable parts like seat height and armrests must carry at least five years of coverage. The award will be made on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis, with technical compliance verified first, followed by selection of the lowest-priced acceptable offer. Pricing for leather and vinyl finishes must be submitted separately, but only one option will be exercised post-award based on Canada’s selection from the supplier’s website, with no additional cost permitted. All bids must be submitted electronically to the designated mailbox by July 17, 2026, not exceeding 7MB, and must include certified documentation confirming Indigenous business status, compliance with the Federal Contractors Program for Employment Equity, and a price certification if the bid exceeds $50,000 CAD. Inspection and acceptance occur at the installation site, 303 Main Street, Winnipeg, with a walk-through conducted within three business days post-installation; minor deficiencies must be corrected within three days, major ones within 14 days. No security clearance is required, but contractors must be escorted in areas containing protected information. All pricing must be in Canadian funds, FOB at destination, inclusive of GST and duties, with invoices submitted electronically via email to the Contracting Authority and a designated procurement address. Packaging, marking, and preservation requirements are not specified, and no military standards apply. The Contracting Authority, Sheila Kvern, will oversee performance
