Fan, Centrifugal

The Department of National Defence is seeking bids for three centrifugal fans, part number AF-178E, with NSN 01-3069138 and NCAGE code 58501, to be delivered in successive fiscal years: three units in FY 26/27, two in FY 27/28, and one in FY 28/29, all destined for 25 CFSD Montreal. Bidders may propose equivalent or substitute products but must clearly identify the brand, model, part number, and NCAGE of the alternative. All items must be new production from the principal manufacturer or an accredited agent, conforming to the latest specifications in effect at bid closing. The contract requires strict adherence to Canadian Forces packaging specifications D-LM-008-001/SF-001 for preservation, D-LM-008-002/SF-001 for marking, and D-LM-008-036/SF-000 for minimum manufacturer’s standard pack, with each item packaged individually and properly labeled according to detailed standards including D2000C, D2001C, D2025C, and D3013C. Airworthiness documentation including a Certificate of Compliance must be included with each item, and dangerous goods shipments require safety data sheets in both English and French, along with certifications under applicable transport regulations. Delivery is FCA (Free Carrier) at the contractor’s facility, with foreign contractors responsible for loading onto the carrier designated by DND. Packaging data forms must be submitted for approval where required, and all items must be labeled separately for each consignee. The solicitation mandates electronic submission via epost Connect, with hard copies permitted only under strict formatting guidelines including recycled paper and duplex printing. Bids must be structured in three separately bound sections: Technical, Financial, and Certifications, with pricing visible only in the Financial section. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive bid, with tie-breaking based on earliest delivery date, earliest bid receipt time, and then after-sales service track record. Payment will be made at a firm unit price as specified in Annex A via direct deposit, EDI, or wire transfer. Invoicing must occur only after full delivery and follow specific distribution requirements to Accounts Payable and multiple email recipients. All certifications submitted with the bid or required prior to award must remain valid throughout the contract
