Light Forces Enhancement

PSPC is seeking industry feedback—not necessarily bids at this stage—on the Light Forces Enhancement project for the Department of National Defence and Canadian Armed Forces. The project concerns lightweight tactical personnel and cargo-carrying capabilities for moving soldiers, equipment, and supplies across difficult terrain, including domestic and expeditionary operations and potentially high-threat environments. This opportunity may be relevant to businesses with expertise in defence equipment, tactical mobility, logistics, engineering, vehicles, robotics, or related technologies. The notice is listed as open and closes October 16, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. It is associated with Gatineau, Quebec, although the project may have broader Canadian or operational implications. Businesses should review the official tender notice and the related LFE RFI/A and LFE RFI/B notices to understand the requested feedback, submission process, security or technical expectations, and applicable deadlines. This summary does not determine whether a company is eligible or suitable. Verify all details directly through the official source before responding.
