Department of Agriculture and Agri-Food (AAFC) - *British Columbia *New Brunswick *Prince Edward Island, *Canada, Montréal, Québec

Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) is seeking 15 low-temperature growth chambers for delivery to five research centres: Fredericton, New Brunswick; Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island; Agassiz and Summerland, British Columbia; and Kentville, Nova Scotia. The procurement is being conducted through Supply Arrangement E60PV-19EQUI for laboratory and scientific equipment. This opportunity appears relevant only to suppliers already pre-qualified under Supply Arrangement E60PV-19EQUI. Businesses that do not hold this arrangement cannot submit an evaluated bid for this solicitation. Suppliers may apply to the arrangement separately, but that process would not necessarily make them eligible for this specific opportunity. Bids must meet all mandatory technical requirements in Annex A. Among responsive bids, AAFC expects to recommend the supplier offering the lowest aggregate evaluated price. Delivery, equipment specifications, and requirements for each of the five locations should be reviewed carefully. The tender record lists October 19, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. as the notice closing time; however, suppliers should confirm the actual bid deadline in the solicitation documents because the notice states that the solicitation documents control the closing date. Review the official Canada Buys/SAP Ariba documents, including Annex A, and verify all eligibility, technical, pricing, delivery, and submission requirements before preparing or submitting a bid.Annex A provided with the notice: https://canadabuys.canada.ca/sites/default/files/webform/tender_notice/106251/annex-a.pdf

Department of Agriculture and Agri-Food (AAFC) - *National Capital Region (NCR) *Quebec (except NCR) *Ontario (except NCR), *Canada, Montréal, Québec

Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) is seeking proposals for 17 low-temperature growth chambers for delivery to five research locations: Ottawa, London, Harrow, Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, and the Normandin Research Farm. The procurement appears to cover laboratory and scientific equipment under Supply Arrangement E60PV-19EQUI. This opportunity is restricted to suppliers already pre-qualified under Supply Arrangement E60PV-19EQUI. Suppliers that do not hold this arrangement cannot submit a bid for this solicitation, and their bids will not be evaluated. Businesses interested in qualifying for the arrangement may review solicitation E60PV-19EQUI/D through Canada Buys/SAP Ariba, but that qualification process is separate from this tender. The bid must meet all mandatory technical requirements in Annex A. Among responsive bids, the supplier offering the lowest evaluated aggregate price is expected to be recommended for award. The notice lists a closing date of October 19, 2026, at 2:00 p.m.; however, invited suppliers should rely on the official solicitation documents for the actual bid closing instructions and deadline. Potentially relevant businesses include pre-qualified suppliers of laboratory growth chambers and related scientific equipment that can meet the technical specifications and deliver to the five listed locations. Verify Annex A, the complete solicitation package, delivery requirements, pricing rules, and the official Canada Buys notice before deciding whether to bid or submitting a proposal.

Department of Agriculture and Agri-Food (AAFC) - *Saskatchewan *Manitoba *Alberta, *Canada, Montreal, Québec

AAFC is seeking 19 low-temperature growth chambers for four research centres in Western Canada: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan (4); Morden, Manitoba (4); Brandon, Manitoba (2); and Lethbridge, Alberta (9). This opportunity appears relevant only to suppliers already pre-qualified under Supply Arrangement E60PV-19EQUI for laboratory and scientific equipment, parts, accessories, services and supplies. Suppliers without this arrangement cannot submit an evaluated bid for this solicitation. New suppliers may apply to qualify under the arrangement separately, but that process is not the same as bidding on this requirement. The procurement is a request for proposals issued to pre-qualified suppliers. Bids must meet all mandatory technical criteria in Annex A, and the responsive bid with the lowest evaluated aggregate price is expected to be recommended for award. The equipment would need to be delivered to four separate locations. The tender notice lists October 19, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. as the closing time, but it states that suppliers should rely on the solicitation documents for the actual closing date and bidding instructions. The notice is associated with several trade agreements, including the CFTA, CETA, CPTPP and WTO-GPA. Potentially interested businesses should review the official solicitation and Annex A carefully, confirm their current E60PV-19EQUI status, assess whether they can meet every mandatory specification and delivery requirement, and verify the applicable deadline and submission process through Canada Buys/SAP Ariba before submitting a bid. The information provided here is a summary and does not replace the official tender notice or solicitation documents.

Department of Public Works and Government Services (PSPC) - *Canada, Gatineau, Quebec

This appears to be an open Canadian defence-innovation challenge seeking Canadian-made technologies for sustainable water and waste operations in remote Arctic and sub-Arctic military camps. The Department of National Defence and Canadian Armed Forces are looking for an integrated system that can provide water purification, wastewater treatment, and solid-waste reduction for camps of up to 50 personnel.

Defence Construction Canada / Construction de Défense Canada - Ottawa, Ontario

This tender appears to be an Advance Procurement Notice from Defence Construction Canada for a future National Source List to supply and install electronic security systems at various locations across Canada, excluding Nunavut. It is not a current bid request yet, but a heads-up that a solicitation may be posted later, with the current notice saying an anticipated posting is November 2026. For a Canadian business owner, this potentially matches firms that do electronic security work such as supply, installation, verification, inspection, testing, training, and maintenance support for security systems. The notice says multiple contractors may be selected for as-and-when-required work, with an estimated value of about $3 million initially and possible extensions that could increase the total potential value to $7 million over up to 7 years.A major point is the security requirement: the notice says the anticipated clearance is Facility Security Clearance (FSC) for the business and Reliability for personnel. Companies that do not already have the required clearances are being encouraged to start the sponsorship process early through DCC’s Industrial Security Program.Important cautions: this is only an advance notice, not a tender you can bid on yet, and there is no guarantee the source list will proceed or that security clearances will be granted in time. Before taking any action, verify the official notice and the MERX/DCC details, including deadlines, requirements, and whether the opportunity still applies when the actual solicitation is posted.

Defence Construction Canada - National Capital Region - Ottawa, Ontario

This appears to be an Advance Procurement Notice from Defence Construction Canada for major NORAD-related infrastructure at Forward Operating Locations in Inuvik and Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. It is not currently a bid solicitation, so businesses cannot submit a bid based on this notice alone. The potential work may include airfield upgrades; hangars, aprons and taxiways; ammunition and fuel facilities; accommodations; warehousing; offices; a fire hall; multipurpose buildings; indoor storage; and IT, cyber and logistics infrastructure. The projects are expected to use large, multi-year Modified Design-Build contracts—one for each site—with estimated values that may exceed $5 billion per location, subject to change and government approval. The anticipated procurement would likely favour large, experienced design-build teams or consortia with demonstrated northern design and construction experience, experience with similar facilities, and the ability to integrate design and construction. Evaluation may also consider logistics, climate and constructability planning, key personnel, Indigenous participation, and an interview process. Successful proponents are expected to develop an Indigenous Benefits Plan covering potential subcontracting, employment and training opportunities. Security clearances are expected to be required before contract award. This advance notice is intended partly to give interested design-builders time to begin the security-clearance sponsorship process, but there is no guarantee that the procurement will proceed or that clearances will be granted in time. The Inuvik solicitation is projected for release in fall 2026, and the Yellowknife solicitation in summer 2027, conditional on approval to proceed. The notice lists a closing date of November 30, 2026, at 2:00 p.m.; confirm what that date applies to because this notice states that it is not a bid call. Smaller or specialized Canadian businesses may potentially find opportunities as subcontractors, suppliers, Indigenous partners, or members of a larger design-build team, but the notice does not establish eligibility or guarantee subcontracting opportunities. Review the complete official notice and any later RFP documents at the Government tender source before taking action. Confirm the security requirements, procurement schedule, scope, qualification criteria, Indigenous participation obligations, submission instructions, and whether the anticipated contracts proceed.

National Research Council of Canada (NRC) - *Canada, *World, Ottawa, Ontario

The National Research Council of Canada (NRC), on behalf of the Government of Canada and its partners, is seeking a supplier for a secure, scalable, bilingual web platform to collect, review, analyze, and report embodied-carbon data from building and infrastructure construction projects. The work appears to include designing, developing or configuring, deploying, and supporting the platform. Required capabilities include: - Collecting material- and project-specific embodied-carbon submissions; - Importing and exporting compatible whole-building Life Cycle Assessment (wbLCA) reports and raw data; - Automated data validation; - Dashboards and customizable internal reports; and - Producing an anonymized public dataset. The platform must support Government of Canada Protected A security requirements and Canadian data-residency requirements. The opportunity is listed as open and is associated with Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, and potentially international suppliers. The stated closing deadline is December 7, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. (time zone should be confirmed in the official notice). This opportunity may be relevant to businesses with experience in secure cloud or web-platform delivery, bilingual Canadian public-sector systems, whole-building LCA or embodied-carbon data, analytics and visualization, data integration, and ongoing technical support. The summary alone is not enough to determine whether a company can bid or meet all mandatory requirements. Before deciding whether to submit, review the complete official RFP and accompanying documents, including the vendor submission form and notice. Confirm the mandatory technical, security, bilingual-service, data-residency, experience, pricing, contract, and submission requirements, as well as the exact closing time and any amendments. The provided documents are: -RFP: https://canadabuys.canada.ca/sites/default/files/webform/tender_notice/106128/26-58047_rfp_en_0.pdf -Vendor submission form template: https://canadabuys.canada.ca/sites/default/files/webform/tender_notice/106128/04---scsi-vendor-submission-form-template_0.xlsx -Notice: https://canadabuys.canada.ca/sites/default/files/webform/tender_notice/106128/26-58047_en_npp_0.pdf Bid Maple is not affiliated with the Government of Canada.

Department of Public Works and Government Services (PSPC) - *Canada, Gatineau, Québec

This appears to be an open Innovative Solutions Canada Challenge Stream call for proposals managed by Public Works and Government Services Canada on behalf of ISED and participating federal departments. The program is intended to support Canadian small businesses developing pre-commercial innovative products or services that could address federal government challenges. Depending on the specific Challenge Notice, applicants may enter at: - Phase 1: Proof of feasibility, generally for innovations at Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 1–4. - Phase 2: Prototype development, generally for innovations at TRL 5–9, where the applicable Challenge Notice permits direct Phase 2 entry. A successful Phase 1 project may potentially be invited to Phase 2, but advancement is discretionary and not guaranteed. Later participation in the Testing Stream or Pathway to Commercialization may also be possible, subject to the program rules and Canada’s decisions. This call creates pools of potential solutions. The actual requirements—such as the challenge topic, eligible phase, expected outcomes, number and value of contracts, duration, and challenge-specific deadline—will be set out in separate Challenge Notices published on Canada Buys. The general call is listed as closing on December 24, 2026 at 12:59 p.m. The notice states that Amendment 001 changes the closing date. The opportunity is associated with Canada, including Gatineau, Quebec, but businesses should review the applicable Challenge Notice for any specific eligibility, technical, intellectual-property, security, reporting, and proposal requirements. This information does not establish that a company qualifies. Before preparing or submitting a proposal, verify the amended official tender documents and all relevant Challenge Notices on Canada Buys, including the applicable challenge-specific closing date.

Defence Construction Canada - Atlantic Region - Bedford, Nova Scotia

This appears to be an Advance Procurement Notice, not a request for proposals yet. Defence Construction Canada is signalling a very large upcoming opportunity related to NORAD Northern Basing Infrastructure at Deployed Operating Base Goose Bay in Newfoundland and Labrador. The notice says the future contract may exceed $5B and would use a Modified Design-Build delivery model, covering phases such as requirements validation, design, and construction. The scope described includes major airfield and base infrastructure work such as hangars, aprons, taxiways, runway rehabilitation, fuel and ammunition facilities, accommodations, warehousing, IT/cyber/logistics infrastructure, roads, and fire hall facilities. Security requirements will apply, and the notice suggests interested design-builders may need to start sponsorship/security clearance steps, but it also states there is no guarantee the contract will proceed or that clearances will be granted. From a Canadian business perspective, this potentially matches firms with experience in large-scale northern design-build construction, airport/airfield works, military or secure facilities, and teams that can manage both design and construction together. Indigenous participation, logistics, climate, and constructability in northern environments are expected to matter in the eventual RFP.Important: the official notice should be verified carefully on MERX before making any bid decisions, because this is only a preliminary notice and the final RFP details, evaluation criteria, and timelines may change.

Defence Construction Canada - National Capital Region - Ottawa, Ontario

This appears to be an Advance Procurement Notice—not a request for proposals—for a potential major infrastructure contract at the Canadian Armed Forces’ Forward Operating Location in Iqaluit, Nunavut. Defence Construction Canada issued it to help potential design-build teams assess their interest and capacity, and begin any required security-clearance sponsorship steps. The potential project may include airfield improvements; aircraft hangars, aprons and taxiways; ammunition storage; fuel facilities; accommodations; offices and planning facilities; warehouses; a fire hall; multi-purpose buildings; IT, cyber and logistics infrastructure; and related paving and site work. The preliminary estimates include approximately 7,500 m² of hangar space, 500,000–750,000 litres of fuel storage, 4,000 m² of accommodations, a 60,000 m² apron and substantial additional building and asphalt areas. The anticipated delivery model is a Modified Design-Build contract covering requirements validation, concept development, planning, design and construction. The notice indicates that the total contract value may exceed $5 billion and that the work may be delivered over multiple years. The future procurement is expected to assess northern design and construction experience, comparable facilities experience, integrated design-build capability, key personnel, northern logistics and climate planning, constructability, Indigenous participation and team capability through interviews. Security requirements are expected, and the notice states that security clearances may need to be initiated through sponsorship. There is no guarantee that the contract will proceed, that the RFP will be released, or that clearances will be granted within the anticipated timelines. The notice lists Ottawa, Ontario as the tender location, but the actual project site is Iqaluit, Nunavut. It shows a closing date of January 11, 2027, while the description says the formal RFP is projected for Fall 2027, subject to DND approval; these dates should be confirmed in the official notice. The description is also truncated, so important participation, Indigenous-content, security and submission details may be missing. This opportunity potentially matches large, experienced design-build organizations or consortiums with northern and defence-related infrastructure capabilities. Smaller or specialized Canadian businesses may wish to monitor the future solicitation for subcontracting, teaming or Indigenous-participation opportunities. Do not rely onthis summary when preparing a submission: review the complete official notice and any later RFP documents at the MERX source link, confirm all dates and requirements, and obtain professional advice where security or teaming arrangements are involved.
