Chemical Residue and Allergen Testing in and on Food Products for Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA)

This appears to be an open Government of Canada opportunity for laboratory and analytical services supporting the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). The work involves testing chemical contaminants and allergens in food products, food crops, and tissues from food animals. The requirement is divided into two parts: -Part A: Testing by food group, including dairy, eggs, fish and seafood, fresh fruit and vegetables, honey, meat, and processed products. -Part B: Testing by program, covering 24 testing areas, such as 3-MCPD, arsenic, BPA, Alternaria, and benzopyrene. A business may submit an offer for one or more food groups, one or more testing programs, or both. Multiple contracts may be awarded, and awards covering several areas may be combined into one contract. The stated closing deadline is October 2, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. The notice says bidders must rely on this deadline rather than any different deadline shown in SAP Ariba Discovery or the Buyandsell posting; late bids may be declared non-responsive. The complete solicitation and annexes appear to be available only through an approved SAP Ariba account and Government of Canada profile. Potentially relevant businesses may include accredited laboratories and analytical service providers with capabilities appropriate to the selected food groups or testing programs. This summary does not determine whether your business qualifies. Review the complete official tender, submission requirements, laboratory qualifications, accreditation requirements, security or data requirements, pricing instructions, and amendments before deciding whether to bid. Verify all details directly in the official notice and SAP Ariba before submitting an offer.
