Post Metal Fence Standing Offer

The Department of National Defence is reissuing Solicitation W8486-260388/B to establish a Standing Offer for metal fence posts under the Canadian government’s procurement framework, replacing the prior solicitation dated January 19, 2026. This Standing Offer spans two firm years with three optional one-year extension periods and authorizes call-ups for delivery of 6-foot and 2-foot metal fence posts to two Canadian Forces Supply Depots—25 CFSD Montreal and 7 CFSD Edmonton—with deliveries required within 90 calendar days of each call-up. Estimated annual quantities are up to 10,000 units for each 6-foot post variant and up to 5,000 and 8,000 units respectively for the 2-foot post variants, all to be supplied in accordance with a Technical Data Package and conforming to specifications including material thickness, finish, and packaging standards. Offerors must identify the brand, model, part number, and NCAGE code for their submitted products and must comply with packaging requirements aligned with ISPM 15 and ISO 21067-1:2016, including palletization guidelines, marking, and labeling with manufacturer details, part numbers, and contract-specific identifiers like CRN and PBN. The procurement is a conditional set-aside under the federal Aboriginal Business Strategy, requiring eligible offerors to submit an Indigenous Business Certification form and maintain records for audit purposes, while all participants must affirm compliance with the Federal Contractors Program for Employment Equity and the Ineligibility and Suspension Policy. Submissions must include a completed Offeror Declaration Form, an executed Non-Disclosure Agreement for the TDP, and technical documentation such as brochures, schematics, and OEM attestations, with all mandatory technical criteria marked as "must" strictly adhered to. Financial proposals must be submitted exclusively in Canadian dollars on a Delivered Duty Paid basis with no exchange rate protection permitted. Evaluation follows a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable methodology, where non-compliance with any mandatory technical requirement results in automatic disqualification, and award is made solely to the lowest-priced compliant offer.
