SWITCH,PUSH

The Department of National Defence is soliciting bids for 400 push switches, part number 561-151-001-600, manufactured by ROANWELL, LLC with NCAGE code 82872, to be delivered in equal quantities of 200 units each to CFB Halifax and CFB Esquimalt. These switches are components for the SHINCOM interior communication system, and all materials must be new production from current manufacture, supplied directly by the principal manufacturer or an accredited agent, conforming to the latest specifications in effect at the bid closing date. Equivalent or substitute products are permitted only if the bidder provides the full part number, NCAGE, and manufacturer details alongside documentation proving compliance with all mandatory performance requirements. Bids must comply strictly with packaging and marking standards as defined by Canadian Forces Packaging Specification D-LM-008-036/SF-000 and DND Identification Marking standard D-02-002-001/SG-001, with each unit individually packaged and marked with a UCC/EAN-128 barcode using Application Identifier 241 for PSCN or 7001 for NSN, accompanied by human-readable interpretations. Asbestos is prohibited unless no viable alternative exists, and any such use requires explicit documentation identifying the part and location. All bids must be submitted electronically, organized into three volumes—Technical, Financial, and Certifications—with financial pricing provided only in Section II and no pricing mentioned elsewhere. Bidders are required to submit mandatory certifications including the Declaration of Convicted Offences and Canadian Content Certification under SACC Manual clause A3050T; failure to provide these renders the bid ineligible. Additional certifications for equivalent products may be submitted later at the Contracting Authority’s request. Payment will be made on a firm-price basis, including customs duties but excluding applicable taxes, via direct deposit or wire transfer, and invoices must be submitted only after complete delivery with shipping charges listed separately. Delivery is required under DDP Incoterms 2020 to the specified locations, with the Government of Canada retaining the right to negotiate delivery dates before or after March 31, 2027. Evaluation will be based strictly on lowest responsive price per line item, with pass/fail gates for compliance, technical adequacy, correct part and NCAGE identification, and absence of exchange rate risk mitigation claims. The contractor must maintain ISO
