The Department of National Defence is seeking bids for the supply of specific vehicular air springs and air brake chambers under solicitation W8486-270782/A, with all deliveries required to be completed by October 1, 2026, to two Canadian Forces Supply Depots: 25 CFSD in Montreal, Quebec, and 7 CFSD in Edmonton, Alberta. The requirement includes seven line items consisting of air springs and air brake chambers, each identified by precise National Stock Numbers, part numbers, and NCAGE codes, with quantities ranging from two to thirty-two units per item and designated delivery locations. Bidders must provide individual pricing per item and destination, with offers evaluated solely on the lowest price among compliant submissions.

The contract mandates delivery under DDP Incoterms 2020, with the contractor responsible for all shipping, duties, and import costs.

Quality systems are recommended to be based on ISO 9001:2015, and the contractor must perform and maintain all inspection and test records available for DND review during and for one year after contract performance. Invoices must be submitted per delivery, itemizing quantities, unit prices, delivery details, and applicable taxes separately, with payment guaranteed within 30 days of receipt of a conforming invoice and interest applied for late payments.
