Department of Public Works and Government Services (PSPC) - *Canada, Gatineau, Quebec
This appears to be an open request for supplier qualification for the Defence Drone Initiative (DDI) Marketplace, led by the Department of Public Works and Government Services Canada on behalf of the Department of National Defence. Canadian suppliers involved in defence-drone products or services may find this potentially relevant, but the notice provided does not establish whether any particular business qualifies. The process is a Request for Supply Arrangement (RFSA), Round 2-B. Suppliers are being invited to qualify for a marketplace or supply arrangement rather than bid on a single identified purchase. The opportunity is listed for Canada, with Gatineau, Quebec shown as the location. Key dates and instructions: -Submission deadline: November 6, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. EDT. -Industry engagement event: October 15, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. EDT. - Registration for the engagement event is mandatory and must be requested at [email protected]. - Six identical events are available, with capacity limited to 100 bids per event. Suppliers are instructed to submit under only one event. - The notice says to disregard the response deadlines displayed in the Ariba Discovery and Canada Buys postings and to use the November 6, 2026 deadline above. Late submissions may be considered in later qualification rounds. Before taking action, review the complete official tender notice and all solicitation documents, including eligibility requirements, technical specifications, required certifications, submission instructions, security requirements, and any applicable terms.
