Ottawa, CANADA – The Canadian Commercial Corporation (CCC) is pleased to announce that it was awarded a contract with the Defence Logistics Agency (DLA) of the United States Department of Defense (U.S. DoD) for the procurement of Canadian snow removal equipment. Under the terms of the limited source contract, Canadian snow removal equipment manufacturer J.A. Larue will have the opportunity to bid on future delivery orders.
J.A. Larue is one of the largest manufacturers of industrial snow removal equipment in the world.
The selection of J.A. Larue for CCC’s limited source contract is part of DLA’s heavy equipment procurement program (HEPP), which manages the acquisition of heavy equipment used by the military, including construction equipment, agricultural equipment, cranes, trucks, trailers, sweepers, scrubbers, firefighting and rescue vehicles.
“This limited source contract with the U.S. DoD is a win for J.A. Larue as it allows us to access one of the biggest government procurement markets in the world,” said Louis Larue, Vice President at J.A. Larue.
“This opportunity for J.A. Larue is another example of how CCC and the Government of Canada supports the introduction of Canadian SMEs to the U.S. DoD,” said Diane Montambault, Vice-President, Contract Management and Operations at CCC.
