Department of National Defence - 2025 Air Transportation Source ListsMinister of National Defence - *World, Ottawa, Ontario
This opportunity appears to be for airlines, air-cargo operators, charter providers, and brokers that can arrange complete aircraft charters for the Department of National Defence (DND). DND is renewing source lists of pre-qualified providers for: (1) full aircraft passenger charters—domestic and/or international; (2) full aircraft cargo charters—domestic and/or international; and the available document links also include an application for full-charter helicopters. A separate application is required for each source list and applicants must provide information supporting the domestic and/or international categories selected.
The source lists are intended to support DND transportation needs during the stated three-year period from February 19, 2025, to February 18, 2028. Inclusion on a source list does not appear to guarantee any work; future requirements may be issued to appropriate list members, including urgent requirements that could require airlift in less than 24 hours. Aircraft would be dedicated exclusively to DND for each charter.
Potentially relevant businesses should be prepared to demonstrate financial capacity for high-value contracts. DND may require performance bonds or other security, and may conduct credit and security checks on the company and its principals. Individual requirements may involve security restrictions, dangerous goods, or controlled goods. Breach of contract could lead to temporary or permanent removal from a source list. The Canadian Free Trade Agreement applies, while several other listed trade agreements are stated to be excluded.
Applications are to be sent to Cameron Ryan-Simpson, DSPCOS 7-6, at Transportation [email protected], using the applicable Annex A, B, or C application materials. The notice states that applications received by February 14, 2025, would be reviewed for inclusion effective February 19, 2025; later applications may be reviewed as time and resources permit for the remainder of the validity period.Important date issue: the record shows an open closing date of February 18, 2028, but the notice describes February 14, 2025, as the main application deadline and February 18, 2028, as the source-list expiry date. Confirm whether applications are still being accepted, which source lists remain active, and whether the helicopter application is part of the current solicitation. Review the official Canada Buys notice and all relevant application annexes before submitting anything; the supplied record does not include an official-source URL.
