The Department of National Defence is seeking a turnkey photographic printer system to replace existing equipment, with an immediate requirement for three units and an option to acquire up to twelve additional units over the next four years under an five-year contract. Each printer must meet stringent technical specifications including a minimum print resolution of 720x720 dpi and a processing speed of at least 300 four-by-six-inch prints per hour at that resolution, all while operating on standard 110-120v AC power. The system must support networked operations via Ethernet or Wi-Fi to handle print queues from multiple Mac and PC workstations and must integrate with third-party or embedded ICC color profiles for accurate color reproduction. Printers must be capable of handling roll paper from 4 to 12 inches in width, producing prints on glossy, matte, and lustre finishes, and must include automated cutting and stacking functionality along with a back-printing unit for customizable annotations. The total cost per four-by-six-inch color print must not exceed $0.50, and the physical footprint must be no larger than 9 to 12 square feet to fit existing spaces. Each delivery must include a full start-up kit of ink and paper, and the vendor is responsible for installation coordinated with DND’s imaging team, provision of bilingual English and French documentation covering setup, operation, and maintenance, and one hour of on-site training for at least two DND technicians. Upon successful installation and acceptance, the contractor must provide a three-year technical support certificate and a two-year software upgrades maintenance certificate. This procurement is subject to multiple international and domestic trade agreements including the WTO Agreement on Government Procurement, CPTPP, CETA, and CFTA. Only suppliers who submit a written statement of capabilities demonstrating compliance with all mandatory requirements by the June 16, 2026 deadline will be considered, and if no other qualified offers are received, award may proceed to a pre-identified supplier. The estimated value of the initial purchase is $263,373.06 plus HST.
