Nature of Requirements:
Vertical Shelving Carousel
REQUIREMENT:
The Department of National Defence at the Fleet Maintenance
Facility Cape Breton (FMF CB), CFB Esquimalt, in Victoria BC
has a requirement for qty (1) Custom Width Vertical Shelving
Carousel to be utilized for the storage of folded coveralls.
BACKGROUND:
Under the (FMF CB) Shop Consolidation project, all outlying
shops and trade centers will be relocated into one centralized
facility and with this equipment provide a single point of
contact for the supply and issue of coveralls to approximately
1000 civilian and military staff on a one-for-one basis, rather
than at the 8-10 locations utilized prior to consolidation.
This equipment will provide immediate access to coveralls in
various styles and sizes by entering the appropriate codes onto
a keypad and allowing users to scroll through the shelves in
either direction; and also provide security for garments as the
unit cannot be accessed without the appropriate access codes
only available to staff in the Tool Crib where the unit will be
installed and managed from.
SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION:
The Department of National Defence requires a custom unit that
must be designed to fit within the physical space requirements
identified for the carousel due to existing space constraints
(footprint and height) and where unique machinery or equipment
is required to support operational requirements.
TRADE AGREEMENTS:
The proposed procurement is subject to the provisions of the
North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), and the Agreement
on Internal Trade (AIT).

before the closing date, a Statement of Capabilities that meets
the requirements set out in the ACAN, the contracting authority

ACAN, then the contracting authority will proceed to a full
tendering process.

to provide the services/goods described herein, may submit a
