Purchase of furniture Categories 1, 2 and 3

The contract, solicitation number 9K001-S27-0106, issued by the Economic Development Agency of Canada for the Regions of Quebec, requires the supply and installation of furniture categorized into three distinct components: interconnecting panels, height-adjustable and fixed-height tables, and pedestals, to support the addition of 27 workstations across four distinct blocks in Montreal, specifically at 800 boulevard René-Lévesque, 5th and 6th floors. The workstations include 27 fixed-height tables with concealed wire management, 27 electric height-adjustable tables with digital displays and specified height ranges, and three freestanding side tables, all adhering to strict aesthetic guidelines favoring white and gray panel finishes and maple surfaces with white legs. The panels are to be assembled in specific widths of 30”, 36”, and 48”, while the pedestals must be 15” x 24” with three compartments: two storage boxes and one filing unit. All items must be delivered DDP under Incoterms 2020 to the designated location by October 31, 2026, with delivery and installation lead times between six and ten weeks; unloading must be possible without specialized infrastructure, and work may occur outside normal business hours of 8:00 to 17:00. The procurement is a conditional set-aside under the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business, meaning it remains open to all bidders, but if two or more Indigenous businesses submit offers, the award will be restricted to those Indigenous suppliers only. All bids must be submitted exclusively by email to approvisionnements@dec-ced.gc.ca by the deadline of July 3, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. EST, and must be organized into three clearly defined sections: technical, financial, and administrative forms, including mandatory submission of the Offer Submission Form and Offeror Declaration Form signed by an authorized representative with legal contracting authority. Offers are evaluated on a lowest evaluated price model with mandatory technical criteria serving as pass/fail gates—failure to meet any mandatory technical requirement disqualifies the offer regardless of price. The contractor must comply with stringent security protocols, including holding a valid Designated Organization Screening and Controlled Goods Program registration from the Contract Security Program, ensuring all personnel with access to sensitive sites possess valid reliability status, and obtaining prior written approval from CSP, PWGSC, before
