Defence Construction Canada - Pacific Region - Victoria, British Columbia
This is an Advance Procurement Notice from Defence Construction Canada (Pacific Region) for potential construction, consulting, and professional-services opportunities connected with 19 Wing, CFB Comox, in Lazo/Comox, British Columbia. Related facilities may include CFS Holberg, HMCS Quadra, and Seal Bay Armoury. This notice is not a bid solicitation or request for proposals. It is intended to give contractors and consultants early information about possible future projects so they can assess their capacity, prepare, and—if needed—begin the process of obtaining security clearances. There is no guarantee that the projects will proceed, that a particular business will be invited, or that security clearances will be granted. Future opportunities may be issued through: - Open competitive tenders or RFPs on MERX and, where applicable, Canada Buys; - The Open Construction Source List (OCSL), which is invitation-only for accepted members. The notice identifies MERX opportunity PR26SLCO_86134 for the 19 Wing source list; - Quick Response Tender source lists, also invitation-only, for general contracting, underground civil, mechanical, and electrical construction. The listed source-list references are CX24SL01 through CX24SL04; and - Other source lists for professional services such as architectural/engineering and environmental work. Some future projects may include security requirements, while others may not. Certain opportunities may also be reserved for Indigenous businesses under the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business (PSIB). The notice is shown as open with a closing date of March 31, 2027 at 5:00 p.m. The location field supplied with the tender says Victoria, but the description identifies the primary work area as 19 Wing, CFB Comox and associated Vancouver Island facilities. Businesses interested in pursuing this pipeline should review the official MERX notice, confirm the applicable source-list requirements and deadlines, and monitor Canada Buys/MERX for separate solicitations. This summary does not establish eligibility or qualification, and all details should be verified in the official tender notice before taking action or submitting any bid.
