Tariffs Price Adjustments
Suppliers should prepare bid submissions based on information and costs known at the time of submission. If the price of any goods included within this solicitation is affected by new, previously undisclosed tariffs or duties implemented after the bid submission period has closed, the awarded supplier(s) may request a price increase from the Government of New Brunswick (GNB) to offset the increased costs (a "Tariff Price Adjustment") as outlined in this section.
Before requesting a Tariff Price Adjustment from GNB, suppliers should first seek refund or relief from applicable federal and provincial/territorial government applicable tariff relief programs.
If the supplier is unable to obtain financial relief or support from federal and/or provincial/territorial governments, suppliers may request a Tariff Price Adjustment from GNB for the affected goods, after providing sufficient evidence that financial relief or support was denied.
Suppliers must substantiate any Tariff Price Adjustment request with supporting information and documentation satisfactory to GNB in its sole discretion, including but not limited to: 1) A detailed description of the goods on which a price increase is sought, the associated HS codes, and the applicable tariffs; 2) Detailed breakdown of how tariffs have impacted the supplier's operations and/or supply chain, including raw materials, production, and shipping; 3) A cost comparison before and after
the tariffs, showing how they directly impact the supplier's pricing, and the supplier's plans to mitigate cost pressures; 4) Evidence demonstrating the supplier's inability to source the goods or substitutes from non-US suppliers, or other factors preventing the sourcing of the goods or substitutes from non-US suppliers (e.g., contractual obligations); and 5) Any supportive or corroborative information, such as communications from the supplier's supply chain or logistics partners, which
confirms the impact of tariffs on the supplier's costs.
Requests for Tariff Price Adjustments should be sent to the contact person on the Purchase Order or Contract. Acceptance of any price increase is solely at the Government of New Brunswick's discretion, and subject to any conditions imposed at the time of approval.
All bids will be deemed to have been submitted in contemplation of the above noted potential adjustments to price. By submitting a bid, each supplier acknowledges that the other suppliers who have submitted bids may obtain a Tariff Price Adjustment in accordance with the requirements noted above, and waives any claim, action or proceeding against GNB relating to a Tariff Price Adjustment to any contract arising from this solicitation.
This procurement is subject to the Canadian Free Trade Agreement.
Further details related to bid bond requirements, contract term and insurance requirements are listed in the related tender documents.
