exactly..

Locally made.. as in Canadian made.. sure... But not made in Winnipeg or even Manitoba.

Look how many details they are looking for.
Not particularly vague eh? Those were the bid documents. Complete them wrong and you may be disqualified. The specification would have defined the parameters. It would then be up to the vendor to document on the bid form how their product conformed and indeed if it did not.

Notice how Performance Reliability was included twice. I think maybe I know why the losing vendor lost...

All items in these specifications must be answered indicating compliance or non-compliance. Bidders shall state "yes" for compliance or state deviation, or give a reply where requested to do so. Deviations shall be clearly stated and fully detailed. Alternatives will be considered subject to evaluation.

Each bidder is required to fill in every blank. Failure to do so may be used as a basis for rejection of bid.

I'd like to know why the losing vendor had two bids and one was over 1 mil

I bet they threw in an alternative bid that was well beyond project scope.
