Asbestos is prohibited unless no viable alternative exists, and any such use requires explicit documentation and labeling.

The award will be based on the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) model, with price evaluated on an item-by-item basis and multiple contracts possible. Canadian content certification is required and will be reviewed, with preference given to bids from suppliers who hold valid certifications, unless no such bids meet the criteria. Suppliers must certify compliance with integrity provisions, including disclosure of convicted offenses and confirmation they are not on the Federal Contractors Program’s limited eligibility list. Payment terms specify firm unit prices inclusive of customs and duties, with taxes extra, and delivery must be made
