Defence Construction Canada - Western Region - Edmonton, Alberta
This tender appears to be an ongoing pre-qualification opportunity, not a one-time project. Defence Construction Canada (DCC) is inviting contractors and suppliers to apply to an Open Construction Source List (OCSL) for construction work at 4 Wing Cold Lake in Alberta for the period April 1, 2026 to March 31, 2029. Businesses on the list may later be invited to bid on commercial, residential, industrial, institutional, and civil projects valued at up to $10 million. A few practical points stand out: - Applications must be submitted through MERX; fax, mail, and email are not accepted. - DCC says it prefers applications by March 4, 2026, but requests may be submitted later. - DCC notes it needs about 10 business days to process an application. - If a business was on the previous source list, it must re-apply. - The applicant must choose English or French for all future communications and documents for this source list. - An active MERX account is required. - Future opportunities may sometimes be reserved for Indigenous businesses or include Indigenous subcontracting requirements. - DCC may use other source lists or post some tenders openly instead of this list. This appears relevant for Canadian construction contractors and suppliers that do this type of work, but the official MERX notice should be verified carefully before applying, especially for any source-list requirements, language choice, and eligibility details.
