Defence Construction Canada / Construction de Défense Canada - Ottawa, Ontario
Defence Construction Canada (DCC) is seeking engineering consulting firms for environmental work at various Department of National Defence locations in Nunavut. The work potentially includes contaminated-site assessments, monitoring and remediation; environmental compliance inspections and audits; natural-resources and infrastructure advice; designated-substance surveys; hazardous-material assessments; and related specialties such as archaeological assessments. This opportunity appears restricted to qualified Inuit Firms that are registered and in good standing with the Inuit Firm Registry, because of the Nunavut Agreement and federal contracting requirements. Evaluation will consider factors such as Inuit employment, training, subcontracting to Inuit firms, and offices or facilities in the Nunavut Settlement Area. DCC expects to select three firms for a two-year Source List, with possible extensions of up to three additional one-year periods. The estimated value is $15 million for the initial two-year period, with a possible additional increase of approximately $15 million during the extended term. Individual assignments are expected to be approximately $200,000 to $1.5 million, with no stated maximum. Successful consultants will be required to hold a valid Designated Organization Screening (DOS) issued through the federal Contract Security Program. The stated closing date is October 14, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. The proposal must be submitted electronically through MERX. The opportunity is listed in Ottawa, but the anticipated services are in Nunavut. Firms should review the complete RFAP for mandatory qualifications, Inuit Firm Registry requirements, security provisions, evaluation criteria, rates, and submission instructions. Verify the closing time, time zone, and all requirements in the official MERX notice before deciding whether to submit a bid.
