Department of National Defence (DND) - *Canada, *Ontario (except NCR), Astra, ON
This appears to be an open Department of National Defence opportunity for concept development and doctrine development services supporting the Royal Canadian Air Force Aerospace Warfare Centre in Trenton, Ontario. The proposed contract is expected to run for approximately two years, currently estimated from October 1, 2026 to October 1, 2028, with proposals closing September 30, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern time. The work may require a team including business consultants, business architects, engineering graduates, technical writers, needs analysis and research consultants, and subject matter experts at senior, intermediate, and junior levels. The requirement is intended to result in one contract. A key restriction is that the opportunity is open only to holders of the E60ZT-18TSPS Supply Arrangement who qualified under Tier 2 for the Ontario Region and were specifically invited to bid. The notice lists the invited suppliers. Businesses that are not among the invited holders may not be able to submit a proposal under this solicitation. Security requirements include a minimum corporate clearance of Top Secret and a minimum resource clearance of Reliability. The notice indicates that invited Supply Arrangement holders do not need to already have the required clearance to submit a bid, but the full RFP should be reviewed for the exact security and contract conditions. The RFP documents will be distributed directly by the Contracting Authority rather than through Canada Buys. Questions should be sent to Renee Davis at [email protected] or 343-645-5490. Before deciding whether to pursue this opportunity, confirm the invitation status, TSPS qualification and tier, personnel requirements, security obligations, submission instructions, closing time, and all other terms in the official tender documents.The notice is available here: https://canadabuys.canada.ca/sites/default/files/webform/tender_notice/104051/w6431-260232-npp-eng.pdf
