Innovative Solutions Canada Streamlined Solicitation of Offers
Public summary
Generated or condensed from imported source text. Verify before bidding.
This appears to be an open, Canada-wide opportunity under the Innovative Solutions Canada program, managed by Public Works and Government Services Canada on behalf of Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada and participating federal departments. The program is seeking Canadian goods and/or services involving research and development or pre-commercialized solutions. The purpose is to create pools of innovative solutions that government departments may draw from to address operational needs and emerging priorities. This is an umbrella solicitation rather than a single defined project. Specific Calls for Innovations (CFIs) may be issued under it. Each CFI is expected to provide the key details, including the eligible technology-readiness level, technical evaluation criteria, potential contract value, contract duration, closing date, and required outcomes. The maximum contract value is therefore not yet specified in this notice. The solicitation period runs from November 4, 2026, to November 4, 2027, with the notice closing at 2:00 p.m. on November 4, 2027. Questions should be submitted in writing to [email protected] at least five calendar days before closing. This may be relevant to Canadian businesses developing innovative, R&D-stage, or pre-commercial products and services for potential federal government use. However, the information available is not enough to determine whether a particular business or solution is eligible or suitable. Review the official solicitation documents and any applicable CFI carefully, including Canadian-content requirements, submission instructions, technology-readiness requirements, evaluation criteria, and deadlines, before deciding whether to submit an offer. Bid Maple is not affiliated with the Government of Canada.
