HFX CLASS / Windshield Wiper Blade and Windshield Wiper Motor

The Department of National Defence is soliciting bids for windshield wiper motors and blades to be delivered to CFB Halifax and CFB Esquimalt under a Firm Fixed Price contract, with a closing date of June 10, 2026. The requirement specifies 15 units of motor 1490-00-GA65 and 20 units of blade 1279-553-500 for each base, all to be supplied by the manufacturer with NCAGE code K5163, WYNN MARINE LTD. Bidders may propose equivalent or substitute products but must provide full technical documentation, part numbers, NCAGE, and warranty assurances, with samples potentially required. This procurement is subject to a mandatory preference for Canadian goods and services under clause A3050T, and failure to certify Canadian content renders a bid non-responsive. All items must be new production, conforming to the latest specifications as of the bid closing date, and meet strict packaging and marking requirements per Canadian military standards D-LM-008-036/SF-000 and D-LM-008-002/SF-001, including UCC/EAN-128 barcoding with Human Readable Interpretation and compliance with labeling norms for asbestos and other materials. Deliveries are to be made DDP to the designated base warehouses, with inspection and acceptance occurring at the destination. The contract follows a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable evaluation model where technical compliance is mandatory and financial evaluation occurs only after technical responsiveness is confirmed. Invoices must be submitted to separate remittance addresses for each base, and contractors must retain all records for six years after final payment, subject to government audit. No security clearance or key personnel requirements apply, but contractors must certify eligibility under the Federal Contractors Program and warrant against intellectual property infringement. The Contracting Officer, Davide Gallo Bamford, oversees the process, with no designated technical authority listed. Pricing details are not provided in the solicitation and must be submitted by bidders in a separate financial bid.
