Letter of Interest / Advance Notice to Industry Multidisciplinary Environmental Services RFSODepartment of Public Works and Government Services (PSPC) - *Canada, Calgary, Alberta
This is an advance notice—not a bid solicitation—for upcoming Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) standing offers for multidisciplinary environmental consulting services. PSPC intends to replace expiring standing offers for its Western Region.
Potentially relevant services include environmental impact assessments, permitting and regulatory support, biological and archaeological studies, environmental compliance, hazardous building materials surveys, air quality, water sampling, storage-tank audits, contaminated-site assessments, geotechnical work, risk assessments, remediation planning, tender support, site supervision, contract administration and cost estimating.
PSPC expects to issue four separate Requests for Standing Offers (RFSOs):
-Prairies: Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
-Prairies PSIB: Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, limited to eligible Indigenous suppliers under the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business.
-Northwest: Northwest Territories.
-Nunavut: Nunavut Settlement Area, limited to firms registered on the Inuit Firm Registry.
Consulting firms may be able to submit offers under more than one RFSO, subject to the final requirements. The eventual standing offers are expected to use rotational, selective, best-fit and/or competitive call-ups. Call-ups may be up to or above $100,000, including applicable taxes, and may consider work plans, level of effort, costs, travel, and Indigenous or Inuit commitments. Performance management and socio-economic benefits requirements may affect call-up distribution, particularly where modern treaties or comprehensive land claims agreements apply.
The notice indicates that Yukon has been removed from the requirement. It also refers to an optional Microsoft Teams information session planned for September 22, 2026, but the available description is incomplete; the official notice should be checked for the meeting link, registration instructions and any deadlines. The notice shows a closing date of September 30, 2026 at 1:00 p.m., but this should also be confirmed in the official amendment and tender documents.
For a Canadian environmental consulting business, the Prairies RFSO appears potentially relevant if the firm can provide the required services in Alberta, Saskatchewan or Manitoba. Indigenous-owned businesses may wish to review the separate PSIB stream, while Inuit firms should review the Nunavut stream and registration requirements. This notice does not confirm eligibility, future contract awards or guaranteed work. Review the official Canada Buys documents—especially the amendment and eventual RFSOs—for mandatory certifications, experience, insurance, financial, geographic, Indigenous supplier and submission requirements before taking action.
