Parks Canada Agency - *Alberta *Manitoba *British Columbia *Saskatchewan *Northwest Territories *Yukon, *Canada, Calgary, Alberta
Parks Canada Agency appears to be maintaining an ongoing supply arrangement for businesses that can provide temporary incident facilities, camp facilities, and/or catering near active wildfires in road-accessible locations in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, the Northwest Territories, and potentially Yukon. Services may be requested as needed to support fire-management operations. Individual contracts may typically range from approximately $1,000 to $1,000,000, including GST. This is not described as a one-time solicitation: new suppliers may submit an arrangement during the life of the program, with evaluations apparently conducted at least twice yearly. The notice lists April 30 and October 30 at 2:00 p.m. MDT as recurring refresh dates. Important submission instructions in the notice include: - Bids must be sent by fax to 1-866-246-6893 or by email to [email protected]. - Parks Canada states that SAP Ariba is not being used for these submissions. - In-person and courier submissions will not be accepted. - Email attachments must be used; links to documents will not be accepted. - The stated maximum total email size is 15 MB. Larger bids may need to be divided into clearly labelled emails. - Documents may be submitted in English or French. A business considering this opportunity should review the full RFSA, statement of work, and all amendments to confirm the required facility, accommodation, food-service, staffing, equipment, safety, transportation, insurance, pricing, and response requirements. Work must comply with applicable National Parks laws and regulations. The notice also identifies comprehensive land-claims agreements affecting work in the Northwest Territories and Yukon, which may create additional considerations for suppliers and subcontractors. The tender data shows a closing date of May 14, 2030, while the description contains older program dates and references a continuing arrangement. These dates and the current status should be verified directly in the official tender notice and its latest amendments before preparing or submitting a response. A company should not rely on this summary alone to determine whether it can participate or whether it meets the requirements.
