Defence Construction Canada - Ontario Region - Kingston, Ontario
Defence Construction Canada (DCC) is creating an Open Construction Source List (OCSL) for construction work supporting 8 Wing Trenton and satellite sites in Belleville, Peterborough, and Prince Edward County, Ontario. The work may include commercial, residential, industrial, institutional, and civil construction, with individual opportunities generally estimated at $10 million or less. Businesses that are accepted onto the list may be invited through MERX to bid on future projects during the period from April 1, 2026, to March 31, 2029. Being on the list does not guarantee that a business will receive work or win a contract. DCC may impose additional requirements for specific tenders, use other source lists, or advertise opportunities openly instead. Applications must be submitted through the MERX posting only; faxed, mailed, or emailed submissions will not be accepted. Applicants must indicate either English or French as their preferred official language. That language would apply to future tender and contract documents and communications for the duration of the source list. An active MERX account is required. Businesses already listed on the previous 2023–2026 OCSL must re-apply. DCC requested applications as soon as possible, preferably by March 4, 2026, and indicates that processing may take 10 business days. The posting is shown as open until March 31, 2029, at 2:00 p.m.; however, the application timing and any current intake instructions should be confirmed in the official notice. Future bids may involve electronic submission through MERX, site meetings, additional pre-qualification, performance requirements, or Indigenous procurement requirements. 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. The tender data identifies Kingston as the location, while the description focuses on 8 Wing Trenton and nearby satellite sites, so the precise geographic scope should be verified.
