Halifax Class, Valve Diverter

The Department of National Defence is procuring four diverter valves with part number N-1049 and NCAGE K7335 for delivery to CFB Halifax, and three identical valves for delivery to CFB Esquimalt, for use in the Boat Davit System on Halifax-class ships. The contract, solicited under number W8482-264958/A, requires bids to be submitted via Canada Post Corporation’s Connect service by June 3, 2026, and mandates strict adherence to technical specifications including nominal dimensions of 150mm length, 35mm height, and 75mm width, with a hollow hex plug on one end and a male threaded adaptor on the other. Alternative or substitute products are permitted only if the bidder provides the brand name, model, part number, and NCAGE, along with full technical documentation proving equivalence to the specified performance criteria. All items must comply with Canadian Forces packaging standards D-LM-008-001/SF-001 and marking requirements D-LM-008-002/SF-001, including labeling with manufacturer name, cure date, manufacture date, and shelf-life expiration date, and must carry UCC/EAN-128 barcodes using Application Identifier 7001 for the NATO Stock Number, with human-readable interpretation below each barcode. Items must also meet the 75 percent remaining shelf life requirement per CFTO D-05-001-001/SF-000 at time of delivery, and asbestos is prohibited unless no feasible alternative exists, in which case explicit technical documentation must identify the part number and location. The contract is governed by Ontario law and requires full compliance with the SACC Manual, including clauses for general conditions, defence contracts, and quality assurance under ISO 9001:2015. Bids must be structured into three volumes—Technical Bid, Financial Bid, and Certifications—and must include a Canadian Content Certification as defined in SACC Manual clause A3050T, or risk disqualification if competing bids provide valid certification. Evaluation will be based on the lowest price for each item, with mandatory pass/fail criteria centered on proper part number and NCAGE submission; failure to meet these renders a bid non-responsive. Payments will be made at a firm unit price excluding applicable taxes but inclusive of customs duties, through direct deposit, with invoices submitted
