Sheet Metal Standing Offer

The Department of National Defence is soliciting bids for a Standing Offer to supply sheet metal in two sizes—6-foot and 10-foot—under a two-year firm term with three optional one-year extensions, for delivery to two Canadian Forces Supply Depots: 25 CFSD in Montreal and 7 CFSD in Edmonton. The estimated annual quantities are up to 10,000 units of 6-foot sheet metal for Montreal, 6,000 for Edmonton, 9,000 units of 10-foot sheet metal for Montreal, and 8,000 for Edmonton, with all deliveries required within 90 days of a call-up. All goods must conform to the Technical Data Package and packaging standards outlined in Canadian Forces Packaging Specification D-LM-008-036/SF-000, including palletization on standard wood pallets, adherence to ISPM 15 for wood packaging, and clear labeling with manufacturer name and part number. Pricing is not fixed at award; instead, offers must propose unit prices to be adjusted post-award using an Industrial Product Price Index-based formula, with all prices quoted in Canadian dollars on a Delivered Duty Paid basis. The procurement is structured as a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable competition, where technical compliance is mandatory, and award will go to the lowest-priced offer that meets all requirements. Offerors must provide brand, model, part number, and NCAGE, and those qualifying as Indigenous businesses under the federal Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business must submit relevant certification. The contract includes stringent integrity clauses prohibiting conflicts of interest, bribes, contingency fees, and forced labor, with contractors required to certify compliance with ethics codes and employment equity. Invoices must be submitted electronically to a designated email and include proper financial codes, and all deliveries are subject to inspection and acceptance by the Government of Canada at either the contractor's facility or destination. No security clearances or key personnel requirements apply, and proposals must be submitted electronically via email in separate sections, with no file exceeding 5 MB and no web links or macros permitted.
