POLYESTER FIBROUS CORD

The Department of National Defence is procuring 120,000 feet of polyester fibrous cord under solicitation W8485-279524, with delivery required by February 18, 2027, to the 7 Canadian Forces Supply Depot in Edmonton, Alberta. The item, identified by UNSPSC 31152100, NSN 4020-01-593-3517, and part number DCCB-1800-YG, must be supplied in 80 spools of 1,500 feet each, with offering contractors required to clearly state the part number and NSCM/CAGE code for any equivalent or substitute product and provide a certificate of conformance from the original equipment manufacturer. The solicitation operates under a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation methodology, where all offers must satisfy mandatory technical criteria—including full compliance with specification details, traceability of materials, material condition, and acceptance of all contract terms—before price becomes the determining factor. The contract is fixed-price and non-segmented, with no options, renewals, or additional quantities permitted. Packaging must adhere to Canadian government green procurement policies, requiring reusable, recyclable, or returnable materials, with ISPM 15 compliance for any wood packaging; palletized shipments exceeding 0.566 cubic meters or 15.88 kilograms must use standard pallets with strict dimensional controls and clear labeling. Goods must be delivered FOB Destination, delivered duty paid, with the contractor responsible for all transportation costs, duties, and taxes. Inspection may occur at the supplier’s facility, but formal acceptance takes place at the delivery location, and the contractor remains liable for any non-conforming items even after acceptance. The contractor must maintain ISO 9001:2015 compliant quality systems, provide audit-ready documentation, and comply with ethical standards prohibiting bribes, conflicts of interest, and forced labor. No security clearance is required, and all submissions must be made via CPC Connect, mail, courier, or fax to the designated address by the August 11, 2026 deadline, with proposals required in both technical and financial volumes, along with completed declaration and submission forms. Invoices must include the client reference number and applicable financial codes, though payment processing details and specific invoicing systems are not identified.
