This is an Advance Procurement Notice from Defence Construction Canada (DCC), not a bid solicitation or request for proposals. It signals potential future construction, maintenance, consulting, and other real-property opportunities supporting Real Property Operations and the Canadian Forces Housing Agency in Northern Canada, excluding Nunavut. The area may include Yukon, the Northwest Territories, and northern parts of other provinces.
Potential work could relate to defence and housing infrastructure such as airfields, buildings, accommodations, utilities, fuel facilities, maintenance sites, communications infrastructure, and related services. Projects may be remote and subject to harsh weather and logistical conditions.
Future opportunities may be advertised through open tenders or RFPs on MERX and, where applicable, Canada Buys. Other procurement methods may include the Open Construction Source List (OCSL), professional-services source lists, standing offers, and standing offer agreements. The notice identifies an OCSL opportunity for Northern Canada under reference NR26SLNO_86070; interested contractors should review the official MERX listing and its application requirements. A MERX account is required to apply to that source list, according to the notice.
Some future projects may include security requirements, and the notice indicates that contractors or consultants may need to begin a sponsorship or clearance process. There is no guarantee that a future solicitation will be issued, that security clearances will be approved, or that clearances will be completed within expected timelines. Some projects may also be reserved for Indigenous businesses under the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business.
The notice is marked open and shows a closing date of March 31, 2029, at 2:00 p.m. However, this date relates to the advance notice and does not itself create a contract opportunity or require a bid. Businesses should assess their capacity for remote northern work, monitor MERX and Canada Buys for actual solicitations, and review any applicable registration, insurance, technical, Indigenous procurement, and security requirements when a specific opportunity is posted. Verify all dates, scope, eligibility conditions, and submission instructions in the official tender notice before taking action or submitting anything: https://www.merx.com/public/solicitations/3898555152/abstract?language=EN
