### What is being purchased
DND is seeking a contractor to supply, deliver, and install furniture for expanded Canadian Armed Forces office space. The requested items include approximately:
- 10 U-shaped height-adjustable workstations with storage pedestals
- 14 L-shaped height-adjustable desks
- 10 additional height-adjustable desks of various sizes
- Reception, boardroom, meeting, flip-top, coffee, and lounge tables
- Approximately 90 office, guest, executive, and lounge chairs
- 28 mobile two-drawer filing cabinets
- 22 coat racks
- 4 bookcases
- 8 wardrobes
- 3 banks of lockers
- A rectangular meeting table for 12 people
The contractor would be responsible for coordinating delivery with the DND representative, placing items in the designated rooms, and completing installation.
### Other requirements
- An English-speaking customer-service contact is required 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The wording appears unusual for a furniture contract and should be reviewed carefully in the official documents.
- Defective goods must be replaced within 14 days.
- Furniture locations will be provided before installation.
- A response to one clarification indicates that a U-shaped workstation may use a height-adjustable main desk with a fixed return or credenza, provided the overall requirements are met.
### Potential business fit
This may be relevant to a Canadian furniture supplier, commercial office-furniture dealer, general contractor, or installation company able to source the specified products and complete delivery and installation in Yellowknife within the firm deadline. Businesses should assess northern freight, installation labour, product availability, warranty obligations, and the short period between the September 25 closing date and October 10 completion date.
