Digitial Video Borescope Systems

The Department of National Defence is seeking to procure three portable, lightweight, handheld digital video borescope systems for use in training and operational environments requiring discrete visual inspection of inaccessible areas. The systems must operate reliably in harsh conditions including cold, wet, and dusty environments, and support daylight, ultraviolet, and infrared imaging with real-time image enhancement. Each system must include two rechargeable batteries, a battery charger, a 4GB Micro SD card, a wireless USB dongle, a USB SD adapter, a belt holster, a waterproof and shock-resistant carrying case, and an optical tip adapter case. Additional deliverables include test and calibration certificates, operator and maintenance manuals in both soft and hard copy, manufacturer-recommended spare parts lists, and training. All items must meet applicable standards including MIL-STD-810G for environmental durability, MIL-STD-461G for electromagnetic interference control, ANSI/IEC 60529:2013 for ingress protection, and MIL-HDBK-61A for configuration management. Delivery is required by 31 July 2026 under a firm-fixed-price contract with a five-year term. Delivery terms include Free Carrier (FCA) at a location to be determined at award or Delivered at Place (DAP) at 3153 Dwyer Hill Road, Ashton, ON K1A 0K2. Packaging must comply with Green Procurement Policy guidelines, requiring reusable, returnable, or recyclable materials, excluding tape and specialized hazardous material packaging. Each item must be clearly marked with the manufacturer's name, part number, and specification number via stamping, etching, or high-standard adhesive labels. No bar-coding is required. Proposals must demonstrate technical compliance through a mandatory Compliance Matrix supported by product documentation, and financial offers must include complete pricing breakdowns with justifications. Offers are evaluated for best value to Canada, balancing technical merit and price, with no use of lowest price technically acceptable methodology. Vendor experience and product equivalency—ensuring form, fit, and function—are critical technical evaluation factors. Offers must comply with Canadian content requirements, and bidders are required to submit an Integrity Declaration Form and Offeror Declaration Form if applicable, particularly for former public servants or those with potential conflicts of interest. No security clearances are required, but contractors must adhere to anti-forced labor laws, international sanctions, reciprocal procurement agreements, and the Federal Contractors Program for Employment Equity. All documentation must be submitted electronically via
