Open Construction Source List for ASU TorontoDefence Construction Canada - Ontario Region - Kingston, Ontario
Defence Construction Canada (DCC) is creating an Open Construction Source List (OCSL) for contractors and suppliers providing commercial, residential, industrial, institutional, and civil construction services for Department of National Defence sites in the Greater Toronto, Central Ontario, and Southern Ontario areas. The posting identifies Kingston, Ontario as the tender location, but the listed work sites are spread across Central and Southern Ontario, including Toronto, Hamilton, London, Windsor, and surrounding communities.
This is not a contract for immediate work. Businesses accepted onto the list may later be invited through MERX to bid on construction opportunities valued at up to approximately $10 million. DCC may require additional pre-qualification for specific tenders, site meetings, or other source lists.
Key points:
- The source-list period is April 1, 2026, to March 31, 2029.
- The posting is open until March 31, 2029, at 2:00 p.m.; DCC requests applications as soon as possible, preferably by March 4, 2026.
- DCC indicates it needs about 10 business days to process an application.
- Applications must be submitted electronically through the MERX posting. Faxed, mailed, and emailed submissions will not be accepted.
- An active MERX account is required.
- Applicants must select either English or French. That language will apply to future tender and contract documents and communications for the duration of the source list.
- Businesses previously listed for the 2023–2026 OCSL must re-apply for the 2026–2029 list.
- A bidder’s legal name must appear on the applicable source list, or DCC may consider the bid non-compliant.
- Some future opportunities may be reserved for Indigenous businesses under the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business, subject to the stated registration requirements.
This opportunity potentially matches Ontario construction businesses that want access to future DCC tender invitations, but placement on the list and eligibility for any particular contract are not guaranteed.
