Request for Information – Heavy Direct Fire Modernization (HDFM) and Medium Combat Armoured Vehicle (MCAV) Projects

This is an open Request for Information (RFI), not necessarily a request for bids or a contract award. The Department of National Defence, through PSPC, is seeking industry input on options to upgrade or replace Canadian Army armoured vehicle fleets under the Heavy Direct Fire Modernization (HDFM) and Medium Combat Armoured Vehicle (MCAV) projects. The information may support government options analysis and early project planning. Businesses with relevant armoured-vehicle, defence, engineering, modernization, manufacturing, or related capabilities may find this potentially relevant, including organizations that can provide market information or technical perspectives. However, the notice does not by itself indicate that a contract is available or that a respondent will be selected. The stated closing date is January 4, 2027, at 2:00 p.m. The location is listed as Canada, Gatineau, Quebec. The category is identified as GD. Review the complete official notice and any associated documents through the Government of Canada/Ariba source before responding. Confirm the submission process, information requested, security or industry requirements, deadlines, and whether participation could affect future procurement opportunities.
