Environmentally Preferable Packaging Supply and Design

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police, acting on behalf of the Government of Canada, is seeking a subcontractor to design and supply sustainable packaging for uniform items that significantly reduce plastic content and align with Canada’s Policy on Green Procurement, Greening Government Strategy, and Ocean Plastics Charter. The packaging must be environmentally preferable, developed with lifecycle thinking to minimize environmental impact, and delivered in compliance with federal sustainability directives. The contract is focused on innovative, low-plastic solutions that maintain functionality and durability while prioritizing recyclability, reusability, and reduced carbon footprint across the supply chain. Proposals must be submitted by June 12, 2026, and performance will be centered in the National Capital Region, with the expectation that the supplier can meet national deployment needs for RCMP uniforms. The NAICS code 322220 identifies this as a request within the paper and pulp manufacturing sector, indicating an emphasis on material innovation and production processes that reduce reliance on petroleum-based plastics. Suppliers are expected to demonstrate proven experience in sustainable packaging design, environmental compliance, and the ability to scale production without compromising ecological standards, ensuring alignment with Canada’s broader goals to combat plastic pollution and promote green public procurement.
