Defence Construction Canada - National Capital Region - Ottawa, Ontario

This is an **Advance Procurement Notice (APN)** from Defence Construction Canada (DCC) about potential future construction, maintenance, consulting, and related service opportunities for Real Property Operations and the Canadian Forces Housing Agency in **Northern Canada, excluding Nunavut**. The geographic area may include Yukon, the Northwest Territories, and northern parts of some provinces—not necessarily Ottawa, which appears to be the buyer’s listed location. This notice is **not a bid solicitation or request for proposals**. It does not currently ask businesses to submit a bid, and there is no guarantee that the anticipated projects will proceed. Future opportunities may be advertised through Canada Buys, MERX, source lists, standing offers, or other procurement tools. Individual projects may involve remote locations, severe weather, airfields, housing, utilities, maintenance facilities, logistics, and other defence-related infrastructure. Some future contracts may include security requirements. The notice is intended to give interested contractors and consultants time to assess their capacity and, where appropriate, begin any required security-clearance sponsorship process. The notice also states that some projects may be reserved for Indigenous businesses under the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business (PSIB). Contractors interested in construction work may wish to review the **Open Construction Source List for Northern Canada (excluding Nunavut)** on MERX, identified as **NR26SLNO_86070**. The notice says that a MERX account is required to apply. Membership in a source list or standing offer would not necessarily guarantee an award; it may only provide access to certain future opportunities. The APN is shown as open until **March 31, 2029 at 2:00 p.m.**, but this date should be confirmed in the official notice. Businesses should assess their ability to work in remote northern locations, meet applicable technical, insurance, Indigenous-procurement, security, and logistical requirements, and monitor later solicitations for specific scopes and deadlines. Always verify the complete official tender notice and any related documents at the MERX source before taking action or submitting anything.

Defence Construction Canada - National Capital Region - Ottawa, Ontario

This is an Advance Procurement Notice from Defence Construction Canada (DCC), not a bid solicitation or request for proposals. It signals potential future construction, maintenance, real-property operations, housing, professional services, and related contracts in Nunavut for the Real Property Operations Group and Canadian Forces Housing Agency. The work could involve remote Arctic facilities such as airfields, accommodations, administrative buildings, fuel and utility systems, and maintenance structures. Projects may be subject to seasonal access limits, challenging northern conditions, and security requirements. Some opportunities may be reserved for Indigenous businesses under the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business (PSIB). Future opportunities may be advertised through MERX, Canada Buys, source lists, standing offers, or the Open Construction Source List (OCSL). DCC identifies the Nunavut OCSL as currently open and refers interested contractors to MERX listing NR26SLNU_86071; a MERX account is required to apply. The attached project list referenced in the notice should be downloaded from MERX because it contains anticipated projects, timelines, and any expected security clearances. Contractors interested in possible defence work may need to begin the Industrial Security Program sponsorship or clearance process. However, there is no guarantee that the projects will proceed, that a solicitation will be issued, or that security clearances will be granted in time. The listed closing date is March 31, 2029 at 2:00 p.m., but this notice does not itself invite a bid. The Ottawa location appears to identify the buyer’s administrative location; the anticipated work is in Nunavut. This notice may be relevant to businesses with suitable northern construction, facilities, engineering, environmental, maintenance, or related capabilities, but businesses should assess each later solicitation separately. Verify the complete official notice, MERX documents, project list, eligibility rules, deadlines, Indigenous-business provisions, and security requirements before taking action or submitting any bid.

Defence Construction Canada - National Capital Region - Ottawa, Ontario

This appears to be an Advance Procurement Notice from Defence Construction Canada for potential construction, maintenance, modernization, professional services, and housing-related contracts in the National Capital Region, including Ottawa and nearby defence facilities managed by Real Property Operations Group and the Canadian Forces Housing Agency. This notice is not a bid call or request for proposals. It is intended to give contractors and consultants early information about possible future projects and time to assess their capacity, monitor upcoming solicitations, and—where applicable—begin the process of obtaining required security clearances. The potential work may include administrative and operational buildings, secure facilities, training and logistics sites, airfield infrastructure, and Canadian Armed Forces residential housing. Future opportunities may be issued through open tenders or RFPs on MERX and Canada Buys, the Open Construction Source List, source lists, standing offers, or other procurement tools. Some construction opportunities may be available only by invitation to members of the relevant source list. The notice specifically references the Open Construction Source List for Ottawa/Gatineau (OCSL No. CR26SLWA_86073), which is reportedly open on MERX and requires a MERX account to apply. Some projects may require security clearances, and certain opportunities may be reserved for Indigenous businesses under the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business. The project list and anticipated dates are contained in a document available through MERX, but projects depend on receiving approval to proceed. There is no guarantee that any listed project will be tendered, that a contract will be awarded, or that security clearances will be granted within the anticipated timelines. The notice is marked open and shows a closing date of March 31, 2029 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern time. Interested businesses may wish to review the MERX attachment, assess relevant construction or consulting capabilities, investigate source-list requirements, and determine whether security sponsorship or clearance steps may be appropriate. These details should not be treated as confirmation that a business qualifies or that work is available. Verify the complete official notice, attachments, project list, eligibility conditions, security requirements, deadlines, and any amendments directly through MERX before taking action or submitting anything.

Defence Construction Canada - National Capital Region - Ottawa, Ontario

This tender appears to be an ongoing pre-qualification request, not a single construction job. Defence Construction Canada (DCC) is inviting contractors and suppliers to apply for an Open Construction Source List (OCSL) for work in the Ottawa/Gatineau area for April 1, 2026 to March 31, 2029.

Defence Construction Canada - National Capital Region - Ottawa, Ontario

Defence Construction Canada (DCC) is creating an Open Construction Source List (OCSL) for contractors and suppliers interested in future construction work in Nunavut, including Iqaluit, Rankin Inlet, Alert, and North Warning System sites. The work may include commercial, residential, industrial, institutional, and civil construction, generally valued at $10 million or less. This is not a contract award or a specific construction project. Businesses must apply through the MERX posting to be added to the source list. DCC says applications can be submitted at any time, but preferably by March 4, 2026, and it may take 10 business days to process an application. The source list covers April 1, 2026, to March 31, 2029, with the current posting scheduled to close March 31, 2029, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern time. Businesses listed on the previous source list must re-apply. Applicants must select either English or French as their official language for future tender documents, contract documents, and communications. Applications must be submitted electronically through MERX; faxed, mailed, and emailed submissions will not be accepted. An active MERX account will be required to submit applications and future electronic bids. Businesses added to the OCSL may later be invited to bid on specific opportunities, but being on the list does not guarantee invitations, work, or contract awards. DCC may impose additional requirements for individual tenders, use other source lists, post some tenders openly, or reserve opportunities for Indigenous businesses under the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business. Some tenders may also require Indigenous subcontracting or an Indigenous Benefits Plan. A business should review the complete official MERX notice and application requirements, confirm it can operate in Nunavut and meet any future project-specific conditions, and verify the required performance standards before applying.The official source is: https://www.merx.com/public/solicitations/3804640553/abstract?language=EN.

Defence Construction Canada (DCC) is creating an Open Construction Source List for construction work supporting CFB Petawawa and its satellite site in Pembroke, Ontario. The list is intended for commercial, residential, industrial, institutional, and civil projects valued at up to approximately $10 million. This is not a contract for one specific project. Contractors and suppliers placed on the list may be invited through MERX to bid on future opportunities during the three-year period from April 1, 2026, to March 31, 2029.

Businesses already listed under the previous 2023–2026 source list must re-apply. The company’s legal name must appear correctly on the list when bidding, or DCC may consider a bid non-compliant.

This opportunity appears potentially relevant to construction contractors and suppliers serving the Petawawa/Pembroke area, but the available description does not establish that any particular business qualifies. Review the complete official MERX notice, application instructions, forms, and any applicable requirements before submitting an application or bid: https://www.merx.com/public/solicitations/3776296414/abstract?language=EN. Note that the supplied location field says Kingston, while the tender description identifies CFB Petawawa and Pembroke; this should be confirmed in the official notice.

This opportunity appears potentially relevant to Canadian contractors or suppliers with suitable construction capabilities and an interest in federal defence-related work in the listed Ontario locations.

Defence Construction Canada - Ontario Region - Kingston, Ontario

Defence Construction Canada (DCC) is accepting applications from contractors and suppliers to join an Open Construction Source List (OCSL) for construction work for the Department of National Defence. The work appears to cover commercial, residential, industrial, institutional, and civil projects at CFB Borden and satellite sites in Meaford, Owen Sound, and Barrie, Ontario. The tender record lists Kingston, Ontario as the location, so this should be confirmed in the official notice. The source list will support future tenders valued at approximately $10 million or less during the three-year period from April 1, 2026, to March 31, 2029. Being placed on the list would allow a contractor or supplier to potentially receive invitations to bid on future opportunities; it is not an award of work or a guarantee of contracts. Applications must be submitted electronically through the MERX posting. Faxed, mailed, and emailed applications will not be accepted. Applicants need an active MERX account and must select either English or French as their preferred official language. That language will apply to future tender and contract documents and communications for the duration of the source list. Applications may be submitted at any time before the source-list closing date of March 31, 2029, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern time, but DCC requested applications as soon as possible, preferably by March 4, 2026. DCC states that processing an application may take 10 business days. Contractors and suppliers listed on the previous 2023–2026 source list must re-apply for this new period. A business would generally need to be listed on the OCSL under its correct legal name to bid on a tender call using the list. Specific future tenders may include additional pre-qualification requirements, site meetings, Indigenous business set-asides or subcontracting requirements, and other conditions. DCC may also use other source lists or issue some opportunities openly on MERX instead. This opportunity appears potentially relevant to Canadian construction contractors and suppliers interested in federal defence-related work in the CFB Borden area. Review the complete official MERX notice and application requirements carefully, confirm the applicable work locations and eligibility conditions, and verify all details directly with DCC or MERX before submitting an application or bid.Official source: https://www.merx.com/public/solicitations/3776296410/abstract?language=EN
