Innovation for Defence Excellence and Security (IDEaS) Program – Competitive Projects – CFP 6 (W7714-248676A)

This appears to be an open call from Public Works and Government Services Canada (on behalf of National Defence’s IDEaS program) for innovative science and technology solutions addressing Canadian defence and security challenges. The callmay accept proposals under three streams: Component 1a, Component 1b, and Component 2. Specific defence and security challenges are expected to be added on an ongoing basis, and each challenge may have its own requirements, evaluation criteria, and closing date. The overall notice currently shows a closing date of March 31, 2027 at 2:00 p.m. However, businesses should confirm whether a particular challenge has an earlier deadline. This may be relevant to Canadian businesses, researchers, technology developers, and other organizations with solutions that could address the published defence or security challenges. It is not a general supply tender; a proposal would need to respond to a specific IDEaS challenge and meet the applicable program conditions. The official CFP event contains the submission instructions, eligibility and certification requirements, evaluation process, contract terms, and amendments. Review the official notice and all challenge documents before deciding whether to submit.
