Workstations with Storage and Electrical Outlets

The Department of National Defence is soliciting bids for the supply and on-site installation of 100 industrial-grade height-adjustable workstations equipped with integrated storage towers and electrical power centers for use in a warehouse environment in Nova Scotia. Each workstation must feature a hardwood butcher block top measuring 72 inches wide by 36 inches deep with a thickness of 1-3/4 to 2 inches, an industrial steel frame capable of supporting 450 to 1,000 pounds, and electrically adjustable legs that range from 28 to 30 inches at minimum height to 45 to 48 inches at maximum height. The storage unit must include two to three drawers—one of which must be a file drawer—with maximum dimensions of 25 inches high by 16 inches wide by 18 inches deep, and both the workstation and storage components must have a matching black or grey finish. Each unit must include an integrated 110-volt outlet bar with between six and eight plugs, and all units must be assembled on-site by the contractor, who is required to remove all packaging and waste material while leaving existing assets undisturbed. A minimum one-year warranty covering both manufacturer parts and on-site labor is mandatory. Deliveries must be completed by March 31, 2027, with all items shipped FOB destination outside comprehensive land claims settlement areas, accompanied by detailed packing slips and shipping documentation. All bidders must hold a valid Designated Organization Screening (DOS) from the Contract Security Program of Public Works and Government Services Canada, and all personnel accessing sensitive sites must possess a valid Reliability Status clearance. Subcontracts involving security requirements cannot be awarded without prior written approval from the Contract Security Program. Contractors must comply fully with the Contract Security Manual and the Security Requirements Checklist, and are subject to continuous compliance with all certifications provided during the bidding process. Proposals must be submitted as two separate sections—Technical and Financial—via email to [email hidden], and must include the Offer Submission Form and Offeror Declaration Form with all required certifications. Offers must satisfy all mandatory technical criteria identified with the word “must,” or they will be deemed non-responsive. The contract will be awarded to the lowest-priced compliant offer, with prices quoted in Canadian dollars excluding taxes, which will be billed separately. The contractor is responsible for environmentally preferable packaging that is reusable, returnable, or recyclable, with exceptions for packaging tape and specialized materials. In
