Procurement and installation of blast-resistant window film

The Department of National Defence of Canada is procuring and installing blast-resistant window film at the Pointe-à-Carcy building in Québec, Québec, to enhance physical security in response to recommendations from a Military Police assessment and a Threat and Risk Assessment. The project is designed to protect DND personnel by reducing visibility into the building and mitigating potential blast effects in a densely populated, tourist-heavy urban area. The solicitation, identified as W0106-26E001/A, is a fixed-price contract with an estimated value of $40,000, excluding applicable taxes but including customs duties, covering the supply of an anti-blast film package, installation, and delivery as distinct line items. The work must be completed by November 30, 2026, with delivery scheduled no later than 30 calendar days after the contract date unless otherwise specified. All hardware must be delivered to a Canada-designated location in Québec, and the Contractor is fully responsible for packaging, shipping, rigging, drayage, and replacing any items damaged in transit, with all associated costs included in the quoted price. The contract imposes strict compliance requirements, including adherence to the Contract Security Program’s Designated Organization Screening and mandatory Reliability Status for all personnel accessing the site, with subcontracting involving security-sensitive elements requiring prior written approval. Offerors must be eligible Canadian suppliers or from an applicable trading partner and must comply with anti-forced labour, international sanctions, and ethics provisions, including the Conflict of Interest Act and Values and Ethics Code for the Public Service. The technical proposal must meet all mandatory criteria identified with the words “must” or “mandatory,” and failure to meet any results in immediate non-compliance. Evaluation is based solely on the lowest compliant bid, with submissions required in three distinct sections: technical, financial, and administrative forms including the Offer Submission Form and Offeror Declaration Form. Invoicing is tied to each delivery and must include detailed expenditure breakdowns, contract references, tax information, and delivery details, with payment processed within 30 days of receiving a valid invoice. The Contractor is liable for defects even after acceptance, must maintain work areas clean daily, deliver complete documentation with each unit, and submit a final report the day after work completion. Insurance is the Contractor’s responsibility, and all certifications, including those regarding former public servants and ineligibility, must be continuously upheld throughout contract performance.
