Custom Utility Trailer Fabrication and Assembly

The contract calls for the design, engineering, and fabrication of a specialized utility trailer capable of transporting twelve canoes, featuring a robust structural frame and beam rows configured for four-up stacking to meet the Department of National Defence’s exacting payload and configuration standards. The trailer must be engineered to ensure secure, stable transport under operational conditions, with all components built to withstand the demands of military use, including durability, load distribution, and corrosion resistance. The scope encompasses complete fabrication and assembly from initial design through to final delivery, with no flexibility in meeting the specified stacking and capacity requirements. Performance of the work is anticipated across multiple locations including New Brunswick, St. John’s, Yellowknife, and Québec, reflecting the distributed nature of DND operations and the need for logistical adaptability. The contract, classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 336214, is open for response until July 28, 2026, and is issued by the Government of Canada on behalf of the Department of National Defence. Bidders must demonstrate technical expertise in trailer engineering and a proven capacity to fulfill militarized transportation requirements without reliance on commercial off-the-shelf solutions. All work must align with DND specifications prior to delivery and acceptance.
