Ice Resurfacers, Ice Edgers and Related Products and Services

Kinetic GPO Inc. issued Request for Standing Offers RFSO 26-10 on August 20, 2026, to establish one or more Master Agreements for the nationwide supply of ice resurfacers, ice edgers, and related products and services across Canada. The scope is divided into three categories: ice resurfacers (including battery, electric, gas propane, hybrid, and tractor-pulled models), ice edgers (battery, propane, gas, and electric), and miscellaneous related products and services such as training, repair, maintenance, and trade-ins. The intended contract term is three years with two optional extensions, with an estimated total value of approximately 5 million dollars, although no specific dollar volume is guaranteed. Suppliers must be capable of servicing at least one entire province and must adhere to standards such as CSA, ASTM, ANSI, and CGSB. The procurement follows a rigorous five-stage evaluation process consisting of mandatory requirements, a rated technical evaluation, financial stability checks, pricing analysis, and reference checks. To proceed through the technical, financial, and reference stages, proponents must achieve a minimum score of 70 percent. Pricing is evaluated based on a 140-point scale, heavily weighted toward a Market Basket of the top ten items in the first two categories. Awarded suppliers must maintain 5 million dollars in Commercial General Liability insurance and comply with Canadian federal and provincial employment laws. All proposals must be submitted via the Bonfire Euna Procurement portal by October 23, 2026, and must include specific documentation such as the Mandatory Submission Form, Market Basket Pricing, and the Vendors Workbook.
