Transportation and Logistics for Garment Delivery/Pickup

The contract requires the secure and temperature-controlled weekly transportation of soiled and clean garments across 31 locations in Quebec, excluding the National Capital Region, organized into eight distinct sectors. Service delivery must adhere to strict contamination prevention protocols to ensure hygiene and safety standards are maintained throughout the logistics chain. The transportation workflow is designed to handle both inbound and outbound garment flows with precision, ensuring clean items are delivered in pristine condition while soiled items are collected and transported in a manner that prevents cross-contamination. All activities must comply with environmental and health regulations appropriate to the sensitive nature of textile handling in institutional or healthcare-related settings. This is a subcontract under the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s procurement framework, with the North American Industry Classification System code 484220 indicating specialized freight transportation services. The solicitation is open for responses until August 17, 2026, at 2:00 p.m., and performance is expected entirely within Quebec outside the National Capital Region. Bidders must demonstrate capacity to manage a geographically dispersed network with consistent, reliable, and compliant service delivery across all sectors, with an emphasis on operational stability, tracking, and adherence to hygiene standards. Failure to meet contamination control requirements may result in non-compliance or termination of the contract.
