Public summary
Generated or condensed from imported source text. Verify before bidding.
This appears to be an open Defence Construction Canada opportunity for installing a solar microgrid at 14 Wing Greenwood, Nova Scotia. The work is expected to include a 300 kW solar photovoltaic array, battery energy storage system (BESS), diesel generators, an electrical building, grid controller, DC combiners, inverters, AC combiner panels, transformers, and related labour, materials, supervision, and equipment. The estimated contract value is approximately $15.8 million. Substantial Completion is required within 567 calendar days after contract award, with final completion required within an additional 28 days. No site visit is scheduled. The tender is subject to CFTA, CETA, and WTO-GPA requirements. The contractor must maintain a valid Designated Organization Screening (DOS) issued through PSPC’s Contract Security Program throughout the contract. Security details are reportedly in Amendment No. 1, so bidders should review that amendment carefully. The stated closing time is November 18, 2026 at 1:00 p.m.; the applicable time zone should be confirmed in the official tender documents. Documents and bidding are available through MERX, and fees may apply. Questions must be sent only to the point of contact identified in the official notice; contacting others could lead to disqualification. The listing identifies the location as Bedford, Nova Scotia, while the project title refers to 14 Wing Greenwood. The province field also appears inconsistent, so this should be verified against the official MERX notice and tender documents. A Canadian business would likely need substantial electrical, renewable-energy, storage, construction, security-clearance, and project-management capability—or may consider participating as a subcontractor or joint-venture partner. This does not establish eligibility or qualification. Verify all requirements, amendments, deadlines, security conditions, bonding and insurance provisions, and submission instructions at the official source before bidding: https://www.merx.com/public/solicitations/4086102554/abstract?language=EN
