Defence Construction Canada / Construction de Défense Canada - Ottawa, Ontario
Defence Construction Canada is seeking engineering and environmental consulting firms for a two-year Source List to provide services at various locations in Nunavut, as and when required. The work appears to include contaminated-site assessments, monitoring and remediation; environmental compliance audits, inspections and advice; natural-resources consulting; infrastructure-related environmental management; Designated Substance Surveys; hazardous-materials assessments; and potentially archaeological assessments. A significant eligibility restriction applies: the notice states that bidding is limited to qualified Inuit Firms that are registered and in good standing with the Inuit Firm Registry. Proposals will also be assessed on Inuit and Nunavut benefits, including Inuit employment, training, subcontracting to Inuit firms, and offices or facilities in the Nunavut Settlement Area. Firms selected for the Source List will be required to hold a valid Designated Organization Screening issued through the federal Contract Security Program. DCC intends to select three proponents. The Source List is expected to run for two years, with a maximum estimated value of $15 million, and may potentially be extended for up to three additional one-year periods. Individual assignments are expected to range from approximately $200,000 to $1.5 million, with no stated maximum for an individual commission. The listed closing date is November 20, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. The opportunity is submitted through the MERX Electronic Bidding System. Although the tender record lists Ottawa, Ontario, the services are for Nunavut locations. This opportunity potentially matches a firm with the required environmental, engineering, hazardous-materials and security capabilities, but businesses should confirm their Inuit Firm Registry status and all other requirements in the official RFAP before deciding to bid.
