Office Seating

The Department of National Defence is soliciting offers for the purchase, delivery, and installation of office seating at the Military Family Resource Centre in Gander, Newfoundland and Labrador, with a mandatory delivery and completion date of 30 July 2026. This procurement is conducted under the PWGSC Supply Arrangement E60PQ-120001/H, which restricts participation to pre-qualified suppliers; non-SA holders may submit bids but must simultaneously apply for the supply arrangement and cannot be awarded a contract until that arrangement is formally issued, without delay to the procurement process. The requirement covers rotary chairs, rotary stools, rotary guest chairs, and side chairs, with all items subject to strict technical specifications, environmental standards including ISO 21067-1:2016 for packaging and CAN/CSA-ISO 14021 for recyclable materials, and compliance with ANSI/BIFMA e3 Level 2 for environmental performance. Packaging must be reusable, returnable, or recyclable, excluding only items like packaging tape, and all shipments must be delivered under Incoterms 2020 DDP terms, bearing full responsibility for duties, taxes, and transport to the delivery site. Offers must be submitted electronically by 31 May 2026, meeting specific format requirements including a separate technical and financial proposal with supporting annexes, and must not exceed 5 MB per email. The evaluation is based on technical acceptability first, followed by price justification, with non-compliance with mandatory requirements leading to automatic rejection; while no numerical weighting or scoring is defined, the process aligns with a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable approach. Delivery must occur at 9 Wing Gander, and the Government retains right to inspect and accept all goods at the delivery location. The Contracting Authority, Doreen Vincent, serves as the sole representative for contract administration, with no assigned COR or COTR. Invoices must be submitted to her directly and paid via electronic direct deposit, requiring proper financial coding and retention of records for seven years post-payment. No security clearance is required, and contractors must certify legal capacity, compliance with ethics codes, absence of suspension or debarment, and adherence to the Federal Contractors Program for Employment Equity.
