W8476-267103 - Short Support Bridge Systems

The Department of National Defence is seeking a commercial pattern modular panel bridge system known as Short Support Bridge Systems to support both domestic and expeditionary operations of the Canadian Armed Forces. The system must be capable of accommodating current and future military vehicle fleets as well as common civilian heavy trucks, with a minimum Military Load Class of 40 for both tracked and wheeled vehicles. The procurement involves two linked contracts—one for acquisition and one for in-service support—with only one successful offeror being awarded both. A minimum of four years of in-service support is required, accompanied by eight optional two-year extensions, giving Canada flexibility to prolong the contract term as needed. Only Canadian suppliers or suppliers from applicable trading partners are eligible to respond, and all submissions must meet associated security requirements. Offerors are strongly encouraged to include an Indigenous Participation Plan to promote economic opportunities for Indigenous communities. The solicitation, identified by number WS5602126253 and title W8476-267103, was posted on June 24, 2026, with a response deadline on the same day at 14:00 Eastern Time. The procurement falls under NAICS code 237310 and is managed by Public Services and Procurement Canada on behalf of the Government of Canada, with Shaun Feagan listed as the primary point of contact. The Crown reserves the right to engage in negotiations with suppliers throughout the procurement process.
