This appears to be an advance notice—not a bid solicitation or request for proposals—for large facilities maintenance and support contracts in Northern Canada. Defence Construction Canada is seeking to give interested contractors time to explore the required security-clearance process.
Potential work may cover approximately 100 buildings and related infrastructure, including roads, parking areas, utilities and landscaped grounds in:
-Manitoba: Churchill
-Northwest Territories: Inuvik and Yellowknife
-Yukon: Whitehorse
-Nunavut: Eureka, Resolute Bay, Gascoyne Inlet, Nanisivik Naval Facility, Rankin Inlet and Iqaluit
Services may include building and equipment maintenance, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, fire and life-safety systems, generators, security systems, janitorial work, landscaping, pest management, hazardous waste and environmental services, snow and ice control, waste management, utility-billing support, help-desk functions, emergency response and overall facilities coordination. Additional work may be handled through an Additional Work Request process.
DCC anticipates two possible contracts:
- Manitoba,Northwest Territories and Yukon: estimated potential value of approximately $240 million
-Nunavut: estimated potential value of approximately $225 million
Each contract is anticipated to run for five years, with two possible three-year extensions, for a potential maximum duration of 11 years. Solicitations are anticipated in winter 2026–2027, with service commencement potentially in winter 2028. These plans depend on DND approval, and there is no guarantee that the procurements will proceed.
A Secret-level Facility Security Clearance is anticipated. Businesses that do not already hold the required clearance may be able to seek sponsorship through DCC’s Industrial Security Program, but sponsorship does not guarantee that clearance will be granted or granted in time. The program also indicates potential subcontracting, employment and training opportunities for Indigenous businesses and communities.
The notice currently shows an open status and a closing date of November 30, 2026 at 2:00 p.m.; this appears to be the advance-notice deadline, not a proposal submission deadline. Businesses should review the official notice for the complete security, contracting, geographic and capability requirements before taking action or submitting anything: https://www.merx.com/public/solicitations/4083739956/abstract?language=EN.
