Supply of Sensitive Networking Switches

The Department of National Defence, representing the Government of Canada, is seeking to procure 250 secure networking switches that meet specific technical standards established for sensitive government use. The procurement requires full compliance with DND technical specifications, including mandatory barcoding and packaging protocols to ensure traceability and security throughout the supply chain. Delivery must be completed under DDP terms, placing all responsibility for transportation, customs clearance, and risk on the supplier until the switches are delivered to the designated locations in British Columbia and Nova Scotia. This subcontract opportunity is open to qualified vendors who can demonstrate the ability to meet stringent security and logistical requirements, with proposals due by 14:00 Eastern Time on July 22, 2026. The solicitation falls under NAICS code 334290 for other communications equipment manufacturing, and while no set-aside provisions are specified, suppliers must be prepared to validate their capacity to fulfill the full scope without reliance on subcontractors who cannot meet the same security and compliance obligations.
