The Department of National Defence is soliciting offers under Supply Arrangement E60PQ-140003/D for the procurement, delivery, and installation of office furniture to be delivered to Building J7, 946 Champlain Avenue, Oromocto, New Brunswick, by 14 August 2026, with the contract period extended to 31 August 2026. The requirement covers Product Categories 2, 3, 5, and 6, including fixed-height work surfaces, lockable pedestals, keyed hutches with adjustable shelving, and concealed wire management systems, all to be delivered in a single shipment under DDP Incoterms® 2020 terms, meaning the contractor assumes all costs and risks until delivery at the specified site. The solicitation is issued as a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) award, where technical compliance is verified first, and the lowest evaluated price determines selection, with Canadian suppliers receiving a 10% price reduction and a 25% weighting applied to Canadian Value-Added in the evaluation model. No security clearance is required, but contractors must provide a list of personnel requiring site access, comply with Canadian content obligations, certify against forced labor, and adhere to ethics and anti-bribery standards. Packaging must align with Green Procurement policies, favoring reusable, returnable, or recyclable materials, though no specific labeling, barcoding, or preservation standards are mandated. Invoices must reference the Client Reference Number and Procurement Business Number and be submitted to the Contracting Authority, with no electronic invoicing system specified. All offers must be submitted exclusively through the Government Electronic Tendering Service (GETS) in two sections: a Financial Offer and an Offer Submission Form with required declarations. There are no option periods defined, no CLINs or SLINs established, and pricing details remain blank as this is a solicitation template for offerors to complete. The Contracting Authority is Nicole Shannon, with no assigned COR or COTR. Contractors must maintain records for seven years, comply with employment equity requirements, and ensure all products meet internal technical specifications rather than external standards. Failure to meet certifications or contractual obligations may result in termination for default.
