Office seating

The Department of National Defence is seeking to procure, deliver, and install office seating under Supply Arrangement E60PQ-120001/H, specifically targeting rotary chairs and rotary stools for use at CFB Stadacona in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Only pre-qualified suppliers holding this supply arrangement are eligible to bid, though non-SA holders may submit bids provided they simultaneously apply for SA eligibility; however, awards will not be delayed pending SA issuance. The solicitation is issued as a competitive request under the General Stream, with no security clearance required. Bids must be submitted electronically by 1200 hrs ADT on May 28, 2026, to PDIV.BidReceivingUnit@forces.gc.ca, with no fax or physical submissions accepted. The contract follows a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable model, where only responsive bids meeting all technical requirements will be considered, and the lowest-priced compliant offer will be selected for award. All products must comply strictly with Annex A and Annex C specifications, including ergonomic features such as adjustable headrests, backrest height, lumbar support, and fully articulating armrests, along with environmental compliance requiring ANSI/BIFMA e3 Level 2 certification and recyclable plastic components.

Warranty terms are significantly extended to 10 years for non-adjustable components and 5 years for adjustable parts, overriding standard industry norms. Delivery and installation must be completed within six to ten weeks, with a preferred delivery target of June 30, 2026, at designated locations including Building S-89 at CFB Stadacona. Prices must be quoted FOB destination in Canadian currency, inclusive of all duties and taxes. Canada will determine finishes within ten business days after award, and contractors must deliver to specification without additional cost.
