MI 9210A and 9210B Oil Resistance Standards

The Department of National Defence, under the Government of Canada, is seeking to procure four MI 9210A/1 Primary One Ohm Standards and four Reference Series Standard AC/DC Oil Resistors (two each of the 0.1 ohm and 10 ohm models), with all items requiring a Certificate of Calibration dated no more than 90 days prior to delivery, and all goods must be delivered to Gatineau, Quebec by March 31, 2027. Solicitation W8486-270775A is issued under a Low Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology, where bids must first meet all mandatory technical criteria—such as ISO/IEC 17025:2017 compliance for calibration, a minimum three-year warranty, and defined performance specifications for resistance stability and current limits—before being evaluated solely on lowest price. Canadian content must comprise at least 80% of the goods and services offered, and bidders must certify compliance with anti-forced labour, international sanctions, and anti-bribery requirements, while also submitting an Integrity Declaration Form if unable to meet any required certifications. All deliverables must be packaged using environmentally preferable materials, as defined by the Policy on Green Procurement, with exceptions permitted only for technical necessity or lack of viable alternatives, and each shipment must include a packing slip with contract details, part numbers, and quantities. Invoices must be submitted by email to the contracting officer and include the Procurement Business Number, Client Reference Number, and applicable financial codes, with payment processed through the Receiver General for Canada via direct deposit or wire transfer. The contract is firm fixed price in structure, with no option periods, no security clearance requirements, and no designated Contracting Officer’s Representative. Contractors must retain all financial and performance records for seven years after final payment and are responsible for all transportation, delivery costs, and risks until acceptance by Canada at the designated delivery point in Gatineau. Bids must be submitted electronically through the Government’s SEAOG portal by May 27, 2026, and must include four distinct volumes: Technical Proposal, Financial Proposal, Submission and Declaration Forms, and an Inuit Benefits Plan.
