It may also require airworthiness support, cybersecurity and supply-chain security measures, spectrum approval support, configuration management, and long-term lifecycle sustainment. The work is associated with defence and security uses such as intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, situational awareness, force protection, training, and experimentation. The listed location is Gatineau, Quebec, although the equipment and services may support operations more broadly across Canada.A key eligibility restriction is stated: submissions are limited to suppliers holding a Stream 1 Supply Arrangement under the Defence Drone Initiative (DDI). Businesses without that arrangement may not be able to submit directly, subject to the official solicitation terms and any teaming or subcontracting provisions. The closing deadline is 27 October 2026 at 14:00 EDT. This opportunity appears highly specialized and may be relevant mainly to established UAS, defence, aerospace, cybersecurity, or systems-integration suppliers.
