Diving Helmet Spares

The Department of National Defence is soliciting bids for the supply of deep-sea diver’s helmets and air pressure demand regulators, with deliveries required at CFB Halifax and CFB Esquimalt. The contract involves four line items: 20 helmets and 25 regulators for each location, sourced from Kirby Morgan Dive Systems Inc and Apeks Marine Equipment Ltd respectively, with specified part numbers and NCAGE codes. Bidders may propose equivalent or substitute products but must clearly identify the brand, model, and NCAGE code of the alternative. The solicitation operates under a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology, meaning only offers meeting all mandatory technical, compliance, and specification requirements—such as adherence to ISO 9001:2015 quality standards, proper packaging per D-LM-008-001/SF-001 or MIL-STD-2073, and compliance with UCC/EAN-128 barcode and marking standards—will be considered eligible for award. Delivery must be made under DDP terms, with the contractor responsible for all duties, taxes, and transportation costs to the designated delivery points. All proposals must be submitted via CPC Connect or fax by the deadline of August 5, 2026, and may be submitted in either English or French. Offerors are required to provide their NCAGE code and, if applicable, proof of registration under Canada’s Controlled Goods Program, especially if handling regulated items. Compliance with anti-forced labor laws, international sanctions, and the Canadian Government’s Code of Conduct for Procurement is mandatory, along with prohibitions on contingency fees. Invoices must include correct financial codes, client reference numbers, and procurement business numbers, and be sent to the Maritime Forces Atlantic Accounts Payable office in Halifax. Inspection and acceptance will be conducted by the Department of National Defence at the delivery location, with the contractor remaining liable for any defects even after acceptance. The contract includes no options or modifications specified at this time, and no security clearance is required unless the work involves handling protected or classified information, in which case reliability screening applies. The estimated contract value is not available due to unpopulated pricing fields in the solicitation documentation.
