Department of Public Works and Government Services (PSPC) - *Canada, Gatineau, Quebec

This appears to be an open Canadian defence-innovation challenge seeking modular wind-powered electricity systems for remote northern DND/CAF locations. The proposed systems would need to produce approximately 25–100 kW, operate reliably in extreme cold, high winds and icing, and be transportable, deployable and maintainable in isolated areas with limited heavy-lift equipment. Designs should also address low and high wind conditions, minimal human intervention, locally serviceable parts and the challenges of permafrost movement and seasonal ground conditions. The opportunity is issued under the IDEaS Call for Proposals 006 and may accept technologies from early research through mature systems (TRL 1–9). Potential funding levels are: - Component 1a (TRL 1–3): up to $250,000 CAD for up to 6 months - Component 1b (TRL 4–5): up to $1.5 million CAD for up to 12 months - Component 2 (TRL 6–9): up to $5 million CAD, with the performance period determined during negotiations Multiple contracts could result, but the stated amounts do not guarantee funding or a contract. The notice closes October 20, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. A proposal is to be submitted through the Defence Innovation Portal after reviewing the challenge and the IDEaS call documents. This may be relevant to Canadian businesses, researchers or technology developers with applicable wind-energy, cold-climate engineering, remote logistics, power-generation or defence capabilities. The available description is truncated, so the full essential outcomes, evaluation criteria, security or contracting requirements and submission instructions should be reviewed carefully. Before submitting anything, verify the current official tender notice and all amendments—particularly the two linked PDFs—and confirm the closing time, eligible applicant requirements, applicable component and portal instructions.

Defence Construction Canada / Construction de Défense Canada - Ottawa, Ontario

**Tender summary:** Defence Construction Canada is seeking a design-build team for the Strategic Tanker Transport Capability (STTC) Main Operating Base–East at 8 Wing Trenton, Ontario. The project’s rough order of magnitude is approximately **$228 million**. **Key details:** - **Buyer:** Defence Construction Canada (DCC) - **Procurement:** Modified design-build for design and construction services - **Location:** 8 Wing Trenton, Ontario. The listing also shows Ottawa, so the official documents should be checked for the precise project and contracting location. - **Closing date:** October 20, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. The MERX system should be treated as the controlling source for the exact closing time. - **Bid method:** Proposals must be submitted electronically through MERX. - **Security:** The selected contractor is required to hold a valid **SECRET-level Facility Security Clearance (FSC)** issued through the federal Contract Security Program. Amendment No. 1 reportedly contains further security requirements. - **Site visit:** A non-mandatory site visit is scheduled for September 23, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. local time, meeting at the parking lot at 6 Northstar Dr., Trenton. - **Expected expertise:** The listed roles include architects, sustainable-design specialists, structural, mechanical, electrical, civil/municipal and BIM professionals, as well as cargo-handling and passenger-processing subject-matter experts. - **Trade agreements:** The solicitation refers to the Canadian Free Trade Agreement, CETA and the WTO Agreement on Government Procurement.

Defence Construction Canada - Western Region - Edmonton, Alberta

This appears to be an Advance Procurement Notice, not an active bid request yet. Defence Construction Canada’s Western Region is notifying industry about a potential future project at 4 Wing Cold Lake,Alberta: replacement of the Airfield Lighting Power Centre (ALPC). The estimated value is about $11.1 million, with a possible solicitation anticipated in Fall 2026, but the project is still conditional on DND approval and may not proceed. The work potentially includes civil/site preparation, design and construction of a new prefabricated steel ALPC building, electrical and control systems, airfield lighting cabling, generator and fuel system work, commissioning, and removal of the existing building and related systems. The notice also mentions associated airfield electrical work and compliance with CSA Z463-18.A key point is security: the anticipated requirement is Designated Organization Screening (DOS). Contractors interested in bidding are being encouraged to start the sponsorship/security clearance process early through DCC’s Industrial Security Program. For a Canadian contractor, this appears relevant if your business handles design-build construction, electrical/airfield lighting, industrial buildings, or DND/airport-type infrastructure. However, you should verify the official notice and future solicitation carefully for exact scope, security requirements, bonding, qualifications, and submission rules before taking any action.

Defence Construction Canada - Atlantic Region - Bedford, Nova Scotia

The tender is subject to CFTA, CETA, and WTO-GPA requirements. A contractor must hold a valid Designated Organization Screening (DOS) issued through PSPC’s Contract Security Program throughout the contract. Security details are reportedly contained in Amendment No. 1, so bidders should review that amendment carefully. Questions must be sent only to the official point of contact identified in the tender notice. Documents and bidding are available through MERX, and fees may apply. The listing identifies the location as Bedford, Nova Scotia, although the project title refers to 14 Wing Greenwood; this should be confirmed in the official documents. The listed closing time is October 27, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. Before deciding whether to bid, review the complete MERX package, amendments, bonding and insurance requirements, technical specifications, security conditions, submission instructions, and any mandatory experience or certification requirements. This summary does not confirm that any particular business qualifies; all details should be verified against the official tender notice before submitting a bid: https://www.merx.com/public/solicitations/4086102554/abstract?language=EN

Department of Public Works and Government Services (PSPC) - *Newfoundland and Labrador, Gatineau, Quebec

This tender appears relevant for businesses that supply, install, inspect, or maintain residential water treatment systems.

Key points: -Buyer: PSPC (Government of Canada) -Type: Request for Supply Arrangement (RFSA) -Scope: Supply, pre-installation inspection, installation, and maintenance of residential water treatment systems -Region: Atlantic Canada only (New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island) -Status: Open -Closing date: 2026-11-26 at 2:00 PM - Multiple suppliers may be accepted into the arrangement What this could mean for a Canadian business owner: - This may suit companies already working in water treatment, plumbing, or related service/installation work. - Being on the Supply Arrangement list would not guarantee work; future jobs appear to be awarded through competitive RFPs. - If your business operates in or can serve Atlantic Canada, this tender potentially matches your market.

Defence Construction Canada - National Capital Region - Ottawa, Ontario

This appears to be an Advance Procurement Notice from Defence Construction Canada for large-scale facilities maintenance and support services in Northern Canada. It is not currently a bid solicitation or request for proposals, and there is no guarantee that the future contracts will proceed. The potential work would cover about 100 buildings and related infrastructure, including roads, parking areas, utilities and landscaped areas in Churchill, Manitoba; Inuvik and Yellowknife; Whitehorse; and several Nunavut locations including Iqaluit, Resolute Bay, Rankin Inlet and Eureka. Services could include HVAC, electrical, plumbing, fire and life-safety systems, generators, security systems, janitorial work, landscaping, snow and ice control, waste and environmental services, emergency response, help desk support and maintenance management.DCC anticipates two possible contracts: one for Manitoba, the Northwest Territories and Yukon, with an estimated potential value of $240 million, and another for Nunavut, estimated at $225 million. Each could run for five years, with two optional three-year extensions, for a possible total of up to 11 years. Future solicitations are anticipated around winter 2026–2027, with service commencement anticipated in winter 2028, subject to DND approval. The notice is shown as closing November 30, 2026 at 2:00 p.m.; this appears to relate to the advance notice and should be confirmed in the official documents. Security requirements are expected. The anticipated clearance is a Secret-level Facility Security Clearance, and DCC is offering an Industrial Security Program sponsorship process for interested contractors that do not already hold the required clearance. Sponsorship does not guarantee that clearance will be granted or that it will be completed in time for a future bid. This opportunity may be relevant to established facilities-management contractors, specialist service providers, and Indigenous businesses or northern community partners. Smaller businesses may potentially participate through subcontracting, employment or training arrangements, although the future solicitation will determine the actual requirements, evaluation criteria, insurance, bonding, security and northern delivery obligations. Your business should not assume it qualifies based only on this notice. Review the official tender information and any later solicitation carefully, and contact DCC through the official process to confirm the sponsorship steps and deadlines before deciding whether to pursue it.Official source: https://www.merx.com/public/solicitations/4083739956/abstract?language=EN

Defence Construction Canada - Atlantic Region - Bedford, Nova Scotia

This is an advance notice—not a bid solicitation or request for proposals—for potential construction, consulting, maintenance, and other real-property opportunities at 14 Wing Greenwood in Nova Scotia. Defence Construction Canada (Atlantic Region) is using the notice to inform contractors and consultants about possible future work supporting base operations and housing programs. Potential opportunities may be advertised later through open tenders or RFPs on MERX and, where applicable, Canada Buys. Some lower-value work may be offered only to businesses listed on specific source lists.

This notice appears to be an Advance Procurement Notice from Defence Construction Canada (Pacific Region) for upcoming base program work related to ASU Chilliwack and other DND-related sites in the Lower Mainland and Interior British Columbia.

Department of Public Works and Government Services (PSPC) - *Nunavut Territory *Iqaluit, *Nunavut Territory, Winnipeg, MB

This is an open Expression of Interest (EOI), not necessarily a contract award or bid solicitation.

PSPC is seeking to establish a Request for Supply Arrangement (RFSA) for general contracting and specialty trade services in the Parliamentary Precinct in the National Capital Region, including Gatineau, Quebec.
