PRE-AWARD SAMPLE(S) AND SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION
As part of the technical evaluation, to confirm a bidder's
capability of meeting the technical requirements, a pre-award
sample of the item and test results will be required after the
bid closing date and upon a written request from PWGSC.
The Bidder must ensure that the required pre-award sample is
manufactured in accordance with the technical requirement and is
fully representative of the bid submitted. Rejection of the
pre-award sample will be the basis for declaring the bid
non-responsive.
The Bidder must deliver the required pre-award sample and test
results at no charge to Canada and must ensure that it/they
is/are received by the Contracting Authority within 21 calendar
days from request. The sample submitted by the Bidder will
remain the property of Canada.
In addition, a recent (1 year of less) laboratory analysis of
the product offered showing complete test results of physical
properties detailed in the technical requirement must be
provided with the pre-award sample. Testing must be performed
by an independent accredited laboratory establishment and must
be in accordance with the test methods detailed in the technical
requirement.
The sample(s) will be evaluated for quality of workmanship and
conformance to specified materials and measurements. (Except
for substitutions as indicated below)
Failure to submit the required pre-award sample and test results
within the specified time frame or nonconformance of the
pre-award sample(s) or test results to the technical requirement
will result in the bid being declared non-responsive.
The requirement for a pre-award sample and test results will not
relieve the successful bidder from submitting sample and test
results as required by the Standing Offer terms or from strictly
adhering to the technical requirement of this Request For
Standing Offer and any resultant contract.
In the event that a sample in the desired color is not available
to the Bidder in a time frame, the Bidder may use another color,
on the condition that a letter addressing the substitution is
submitted with the pre-award sample(s), together with a
statement that, should the Bidder be awarded the contract, all
materials will be strictly in accordance with the technical
requirement.
Fabric requirements - One (1) metre in length, full width must
constitute a pre-award sample.
