Contractor to maintain the revolving and swinging doors at the John H. Chapman Space Centre

The Canadian Space Agency is seeking a contractor to maintain the revolving and swinging doors at the John H. Chapman Space Centre in Longueuil, Quebec, with a contract period running from the date of award through June 30, 2027, and including an option to extend for up to four additional one-year periods through June 30, 2031. The solicitation, numbered 9F030 - 20240330, has a closing date of June 19, 2026, at 2:00 PM, and requires bidders to submit proposals electronically via the CPC Connect service, with mandatory inclusion of the Offer Submission Form and Offeror Declaration Form, structured into three distinct sections: Technical Offer, Financial Offer, and Required Forms. Bidders must demonstrate compliance with all mandatory requirements, including providing two references for prior maintenance projects involving CJ Rush access control mechanisms, possessing a valid Procurement Business Number, and certifying that no forced labor was used and that they are not ineligible or suspended under Canada’s policies. The evaluation for award is strictly based on the lowest price among responsive bids, with failure to meet any mandatory criterion resulting in immediate non-responsiveness. The scope of work includes performing three annual routine inspections and maintenance visits on all designated doors, plus one specialized annual visit for six doors equipped with CJ Rush access control mechanisms, involving disassembly, brake inspection and replacement, relay checks, contact mat cleaning, and pivot bearing evaluation. Detailed written reports must be submitted within five days of each visit, and all maintenance must adhere strictly to manufacturer guidelines. Contractors must bill for services and parts using detailed invoices that include itemized expenditures, labor rates, subcontractor information, applicable taxes with registration numbers, and any deductions or charges, submitted to the Canadian Space Agency’s invoicing address. Rates must be quoted in Canadian dollars and include travel, labor, administration, and profit, with applicable taxes excluded. The contractor must maintain an accounting system allowing full traceability of records, comply with federal and provincial safety and environmental regulations—including establishing safety perimeters and using low-VOC products—and adhere to Canada’s Code of Conduct for Procurement and applicable laws. Invoices will be paid within 30 days if acceptable, with interest added on overdue amounts, and the Government reserves the right to inspect, reject, and demand correction of non-conforming work at no additional cost. The contractor is also bound by strict integrity and declaration requirements, with false certifications potentially leading to
