This is an Advance Procurement Notice from Defence Construction Canada (DCC), not a bid solicitation or request for proposals. It provides early information about possible future construction, consulting, maintenance, and other real-property opportunities supporting Real Property Operations and the Canadian Forces Housing Agency in Northern Canada, excluding Nunavut. Potential work could occur in Yukon, the Northwest Territories, and northern areas of some provinces, including at remote defence facilities and bases.
Future opportunities may involve infrastructure such as airfields, runways, fuel facilities, buildings, housing, utilities, communications systems, and maintenance-related services. Projects may be openly competed through MERX or Canada Buys, or issued through source lists, standing offers, or other procurement tools. Some projects may include security requirements, and some may be reserved for Indigenous businesses under the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business.
The notice mentions an Open Construction Source List for Northern Canada, identified as “NR26SLNO_86070,” which interested contractors may be able to apply to through MERX. A MERX account is reportedly required. Source lists and other procurement tools may also be relevant to professional-services firms such as architecture, engineering, environmental, and consulting providers.
The notice is open until March 31, 2029 at 2:00 p.m. It does not guarantee that contracts will be issued, that projects will proceed, or that any security clearance or sponsorship process will be successful or completed on time. Businesses considering this opportunity should assess their capacity for remote northern work, logistics, harsh-weather conditions, applicable insurance and technical requirements, Indigenous procurement considerations, and possible security obligations.
This opportunity appears potentially relevant for Canadian construction contractors, engineering and architectural firms, environmental consultants, facilities-service providers, and other suppliers with suitable northern or defence-infrastructure experience. It is not possible to determine eligibility or qualification from this notice alone.
