The equipment must be new, off-the-shelf hardware capable of processing engineering-grade thermoplastics such as Polyamide 11, Polyamide 12, Polypropylene, and TPU, with a minimum build volume of 150 x 150 x 300 mm. The requirement includes software licenses for at least three years that can function without an internet connection and must meet North American power standards of 120V at 60Hz. All units and associated consumables must be delivered and installed at Canadian Forces Base Petawawa, Ontario, no later than March 31, 2027, under Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) Incoterms 2020. This is a fixed-price defence contract governed by the Defence Production Act. Award will be based on the lowest evaluated price among offers that meet all mandatory technical criteria specified in the solicitation. Proposals must include an offer submission form, an offeror declaration form, and a financial proposal inclusive of all customs duties and taxes. The contractor is required to adhere to environmentally preferable packaging standards, ensuring materials are reusable, returnable, or recyclable. Additionally, the contractor must certify that the work is not produced using forced labour, as the government maintains the right to terminate the contract for defaults related to human trafficking or forced labour violations.
