Department of Justice Canada (JUS) National Chair Order 26/27

This solicitation, numbered 1000036942, is issued by the Department of Justice Canada under the Supplier's Furniture for Office Seating Supply Arrangement E60PQ-120001/PQ to procure rotary chairs and rotary stools for delivery and installation at federal offices in Toronto, Ottawa, Halifax, Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, and Edmonton. The requirement is set aside under the federal government’s Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business, and only pre-qualified suppliers holding the relevant supply arrangement are eligible to bid, though non-SA holders may submit bids provided they simultaneously apply for a supply arrangement, with no delay in award pending that evaluation. The contract calls for furniture to be shipped 100% fully assembled from the original equipment manufacturer in a single carton with a pre-assembled single-component architecture, strictly prohibiting field assembly of cylinders, bases, or armrests. All products must meet ANSI/BIFMA X5.1 safety standards, ANSI/BIFMA e3 LEVEL 3 certification, and GREENGUARD Gold certification for indoor air quality to satisfy green procurement mandates. The delivery and installation must be completed by September 30, 2026, with the contractor responsible for all transportation, unloading, and movement of goods to the specified locations under DDP Incoterms. All bids must be submitted via email to the Contracting Authority by 2:00 PM on Monday, July 20, 2026, with each submission clearly organized into three sections—Technical, Financial, and Certifications—and restricted to PDF format with file sizes not exceeding 25 MB per email. Pricing must appear only in the financial section. The award will be made to the lowest evaluated price among compliant bids, with evaluation conducted in Canadian dollars excluding applicable taxes but including customs duties and excise taxes under FOB destination terms. The warranty period is extended to 10 years for the furniture, except for user-adjustable components, which carry a 5-year warranty; the contractor is also required to bear all costs for returning non-compliant items to their facility and reshipping replacements. Installation must be inspected within three business days of completion by both the contractor and project manager, with non-conformances documented jointly. Payments will be made via direct deposit, and contractors must enroll using the Department of Justice’s direct deposit form. The contract incorporates the General Conditions for Goods (Medium Complexity) and the Supply Arrangement terms, with
