Mattresses

The Department of National Defence is soliciting bids for the procurement of 200 institutional-grade mattresses—100 single size (39” x 75”) and 100 queen size (60” x 80”)—to be delivered to CFB Edmonton by December 1, 2026. Only Canadian Suppliers, as strictly defined in the solicitation, are eligible to respond; offers from suppliers of non-trading partner countries will be rejected without consideration. The mattresses must meet specific technical criteria including a minimum 8-inch thickness, 250-pound weight capacity per unit, medium to medium-firm firmness, durable and easy-to-clean covers, and compliance with Canadian fire safety standards. All units must be new, unused, and free from defects, backed by a minimum five-year manufacturer warranty supported by submitted documentation. The contract requires secure packaging aligned with ISO 21067-1:2016 definitions, with contractors responsible for removing and disposing of all packaging materials upon delivery. Delivery must occur at two designated locations within CFB Edmonton, and no FOB terms are specified, placing full transportation responsibility on the supplier. The solicitation does not specify contract type, total value, or unit pricing, leaving pricing to be submitted by offerors in the required format. Evaluation is based on technical compliance and financial reasonableness, with award intended to achieve best or good value to Canada, although no formal weights, adjectival ratings, or LPTA designation are outlined. All submissions must be made electronically via the Government Electronic Tendering Service by August 17, 2026, and must include a completed Offeror Declaration Form and proof of legal standing. The Contracting Authority, Hailea Sewell, is the sole point of contact with authority to manage all contractual matters. No security clearances, small business set-asides, socioeconomic certifications, or option periods are required or available. Specific inspection and acceptance procedures are not detailed beyond the delivery location, but acceptance is contingent on full technical compliance verified by the Government. Contract administration details, including payment office information, accounting codes, invoicing systems, and COR/COTR appointments, are not provided and are expected to be established upon award.
