Department of Public Works and Government Services (PSPC) - *Canada, Gatineau, Quebec
This appears to be an open Request for Information (RFI), not a contract award or bid invitation, concerning the proposed construction of Mid-Shore Multi-Mission (MSMM) vessels for the Canadian Coast Guard. Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC), on behalf of Canada and with the Canadian Coast Guard, is seeking updates and feedback from potential vessel builders, including shipyards and possible joint-venture participants. The RFI provides information about the proposed procurement strategy and expected schedule, including context for a potential future Invitation to Qualify. The materials are still being developed, and additional clauses or requirements could be added to any later solicitation. Respondents are encouraged to submit answers to Annex C questions. A response should be submitted through the Event Messages tab in the SAP Business Network event by the stated closing time: December 31, 2026, at 1:30 p.m. The notice also states that requests for one-on-one meetings were to be sent through the Canada Buys Messages tab by March 24, 2026; this date should be checked against the current official notice because it may have passed or may have been updated. The listed location is Canada, Gatineau, Quebec. This opportunity potentially matches Canadian shipyards, marine construction firms, and organizations considering a joint venture, but the notice does not establish eligibility or guarantee a future procurement opportunity. Review the complete official RFI and all annexes in the SAP Business Network/Canada Buys posting, confirm deadlines and submission instructions, and verify the requirements directly before responding.
