W8476-267099 - Line of Communication Bridge Systems

The Department of National Defence is seeking a commercial-pattern modular panel bridge system known as the Line of Communication Bridge System to support Canadian Armed Forces operations both domestically and overseas. The system must be capable of accommodating current and future military vehicle fleets as well as standard heavy civilian trucks, ensuring interoperability and operational readiness. The procurement includes two integrated contracts—one for acquisition and one for in-service support—with only one successful offeror to be awarded both. In-service support is mandated for an initial four years, with the possibility of extending the contract through eight two-year options, creating a potential contract duration of up to twenty years. All offers must comprehensively address both the acquisition and support requirements in a single submission. This procurement is restricted to Canadian suppliers and those from applicable trading partners, with security requirements in place due to the sensitive nature of the equipment. Offerors are strongly encouraged to include an Indigenous Participation Plan to promote economic engagement with Indigenous communities. The solicitation, issued under reference WS5583471932, was posted on June 8, 2026, with a response deadline same day at 2:00 PM Eastern Time. The contract is managed by Public Services and Procurement Canada under NAICS code 237310, and all correspondence must be directed to the designated point of contact. The Crown retains the right to conduct further negotiations with suppliers as part of the procurement process.
