Public Works and Government Services Canada appears to be seeking suppliers for medium and large vessel recycling and disposal services across most Canadian regions. This is a Request for a Supply Arrangement (RFSA), meaning selected suppliers may be placed on arrangements and could later be invited to bid on specific vessel-recycling requirements; it does not appear to be an immediate award of a single contract. The opportunity has two service streams: -Stream A: medium vessels with a lightship displacement of 300 metric tonnes or less. -Stream B: large vessels over 300 metric tonnes. Work involves dismantling vessels at a vessel recycling facility and must generally be performed in Canada. The opportunity covers multiple regions, including British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario outside the National Capital Region, Quebec outside the National Capital Region, Atlantic Canada, the territories, and the NCR. Suppliers may be able to offer services in one or more regions or sub-regions. The current notice, EVC01-202003/C, cancels and supersedes version /B and extends the active solicitation period. The notice states that there are no changes from version /B to /C. Suppliers that already submitted an arrangement under versions /A or /B are stated not to need to submit a new arrangement, subject to verifying the official documents. Potentially important considerations include environmental management of vessel materials and hazardous waste, the ability to dismantle vessels in an appropriate Canadian facility, and compliance with applicable federal requirements. Some future requirements may involve personnel or organizational security screening, Controlled Goods requirements, Indigenous business set-asides, or Indigenous Participation Plans. The RFSA may be used by various federal departments and agencies. The listed closing date is March 30, 2029, at 2:00 p.m. Confirm the deadline, submission method, required forms, facility standards, insurance, experience, security requirements, and any regional eligibility rules in the official RFSA before preparing a submission.The available document is here: https://canadabuys.canada.ca/documents/pub/att/2025/01/06/cd41d4a1da59592bb4366922303ad39b/ABES.PROD.PW_MER.B005.E29423.EBSU000.PDF. This summary does not determine whether a business qualifies; the official tender notice and its annexes control.
