Procurement of a Gas Exhaust System

The Department of National Defence is soliciting proposals for the procurement, delivery, and installation of one exhaust gas extraction system to support the Transportation and Maintenance Company at Valcartier Support Base in Quebec. The scope of work includes dismantling the existing outdated system, installing new reels and hoses, connecting fume extractors to the building ventilation system, and performing all necessary safety and functional testing. The system must feature a spring-rewind reel on a 20-foot extension arm with a dampening device, rubber nozzles and adapters for generators and small tractors, and a rigid-flexible extraction arm with a 160 mm diameter and a fume hood-type extraction head. While initial requirements specified a 15-meter arm, subsequent amendments revised the required length to 5 meters. The contract is open to Canadian suppliers and those from applicable trading partners, with the award based on the lowest evaluated price among technically compliant offers. All deliverables must be received by November 30, 2026. The contractor is required to provide an installation team capable of communicating in an official language and must supply all necessary safety equipment, including an aerial work platform and personal protective equipment. Proposals must be submitted via email to the DND Bid Receiving Unit, divided into technical, financial, and declaration sections. Payment is contingent upon the final inspection and acceptance of the hardware by the Canadian government.
