The vehicles are to be delivered within 45 days of contract award, no later than September 26, 2026, to Canadian Forces Base Gagetown in New Brunswick and CFB Trenton in Ontario, excluding the National Capital Region. The procurement is justified under subsection 6(d) of the Government Contracts Regulations, as Polaris Government & Defense is the only supplier capable of fulfilling the urgent operational requirement due to confirmed inventory availability and OEM status, resulting in a waiver of open competition. The estimated contract value is $3,469,090.00 CAD, excluding taxes, and the award will be determined on a pass/fail basis against Minimum Essential Requirements, including conformance to UNSPSC 25101905, the ability to deliver all 23 units, and adherence to the 45-day timeline. Offerors must submit a statement of capabilities via email to the designated contracting authority, Marie-Eve Bouchard, and no formal contract clauses, detailed technical specifications, packaging requirements, or line-item pricing are provided in the documentation. Acceptance is expected at the delivery locations, and foreground intellectual property developed under the contract remains with the contractor. The procurement operates under trade agreements including CFTA, CETA, and CPTPP, with no alternative suppliers considered, and no payment office, invoicing system, or government representative roles beyond the point of contact are formally identified.
