DEGREASER

The Department of National Defence is seeking suppliers to provide degreasers with part number BT-130SE-5300 under a firm fixed price contract, with delivery required at two Canadian Forces Bases: CFB Halifax and CFB Esquimalt, five units each. Offers must include the manufacturer’s NCAGE code and may propose equivalent or substitute products only if full technical specifications are submitted to prove equivalency in form, fit, function, quality, and performance, without compromising warranties. All items must comply with Canadian Forces packaging specification D-LM-008-001/SF-001, including preservation and packaging data forms, and must be marked and barcoded according to DND standard D-02-002-001/SG-001 using UCC/EAN-128 symbology with Application Identifiers for NSN and PSCN, with human-readable text beneath each barcode. Deliveries are to be made under DDP Incoterms 2020, meaning the contractor bears all costs, risks, and responsibilities until the goods are received at the designated locations. Technical compliance is evaluated on a mandatory pass/fail basis, with non-compliant bids rejected outright regardless of price. The award will follow a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable methodology, meaning the lowest-priced bid that meets all mandatory technical requirements will be selected. Contractors must hold current ISO 9001:2015 certification and comply with the Federal Contractors Program for Employment Equity. Asbestos-containing materials are prohibited unless no feasible alternative exists, in which case detailed justification and labeling are required. All proposals must be submitted electronically through Canada Post’s Connect service by April 8, 2026, and must be organized into distinct technical and administrative sections as per the Standard Instructions. Payment will be processed through designated offices in Halifax and Victoria, with invoicing codes provided, but no contract value is specified due to unquoted unit pricing. The contract contains no options, key personnel requirements, or security clearances, but includes strict termination provisions for non-compliance with certification, equivalency, or delivery standards.
