Parks Canada - *Alberta *British Columbia, *Canada, Gatineau, Quebec

Parks Canada is seeking experienced nursery growers for a standing arrangement covering the extraction, air separation, stratification and propagation of whitebark and/or limber pine seeds. The seeds would be collected by mountain national park staff in Alberta and British Columbia, sent to the grower in the fall, processed and propagated through the fall and winter, and grown into mature seedlings for delivery to Parks Canada or field units for fall planting approximately two years after collection. This appears potentially relevant to Canadian nurseries or growers with suitable seed-extraction, propagation, stratification and long-term seedling-growing capabilities. The work must comply with applicable National Parks legislation, regulations and operational requirements. The notice does not specify a fixed end date for the standing arrangement; it is intended to remain available while Parks Canada considers it advantageous to use. New suppliers may submit arrangements throughout the life of the opportunity. Evaluations may occur in quarterly cycles, with listed refresh dates of March 30, June 30, September 30 and December 30 at 2:00 p.m. Mountain Time. The supplied record shows a closing date of March 31, 2100, which may be a system or long-term opportunity date; confirm the current evaluation schedule and applicable deadline in the official notice. Responses must be submittedusing the specified Parks Canada process: by email to [email protected] or by fax to 1-866-246-6893. Email attachments must not exceed 15 MB, links to documents are not accepted, and multiple emails should be clearly labelled if needed. Documents may be submitted in English or French.

Parks Canada is seeking archaeological service providers for a national Supply Arrangement covering terrestrial archaeology work at protected heritage places. The opportunity appears relevant to firms that can provide services such as archaeological overview assessments, inventories or surveys, impact assessments, mitigation strategies, archaeological analysis, and monitoring of archaeological resources. Work may be required across numerous Canadian regions, including Saskatchewan, Yukon, British Columbia, Indigenous lands, the Northwest Territories, Quebec outside the National Capital Region, Alberta, Ontario, Atlantic provinces, Manitoba, the National Capital Region, and other areas identified in the solicitation documents. Parks Canada intends to establish multiple Supply Arrangements by region and sub-region rather than award one single contract. Key points: - The notice is identified as 5P300-23-0054/A. - Contracts issued under the arrangement may have a maximum expenditure of $1,000,000, including applicable taxes and fees. - New suppliers may be able to apply through an ongoing qualification process. - A security requirement applies, and new personnel security clearance applications require fingerprints. Applicants are responsible for fingerprinting costs. - The procurement is subject to several comprehensive land claims agreements, including agreements covering northern Quebec, Labrador, Yukon, Northwest Territories, and parts of British Columbia. - Parks Canada may use Indigenous procurement measures, Indigenous Benefits Plans, or set-asides for Indigenous Supply Arrangement holders. - Work must comply with applicable National Parks legislation, regulations, and other requirements. - Bids are not currently being accepted through SAP Ariba. Responses must be submitted by email to [email protected], as specified in the solicitation. - The stated maximum email size is 15 MB, including attachments. If necessary, the response should be divided into multiple clearly labelled emails. The notice lists a closing date of December 13, 2100 at 2:00 p.m., which is unusually distant and should be confirmed in the current official notice and all amendments. The available documents include the main RFSA, amendments, a modification, regional areas of expertise, and archaeological work experience appendices. Review those documents carefully for mandatory experience, regional coverage, personnel qualifications, security procedures, submission instructions, and any amendment requirements before preparing a response. This summary is not a determination that a business qualifies; suppliers should verify all details directly in the official Parks Canada tender notice before submitting.

Correctional Service Canada - *Canada, Ottawa, ON

Correctional Service Canada (CSC) has published an open public notice about an “Inmate Purchasing Plan.” This is not a standard contract award opportunity. CSC intends to establish a business account arrangement with a pre-identified e-commerce supplier and is inviting other suppliers to submit a statement of capabilities if they may be able to provide the required services. CSC states that it will not award a contract as a direct result of this notice; instead, it may create a list of potential suppliers. The potential supplier would provide an online business account for authorized CSC personnel to order approved inmate personal-property items. The platform would need to operate 24/7, restrict access to authorized users, provide individual credentials and order confirmations, support returns and replacements, and offer only items approved by CSC. Required goods would need to be delivered across Canada to CSC institutions, with standard delivery stated as 7–14 calendar days and standardized pricing that includes delivery. The supplier would also be expected to provide an account manager, configure user profiles and approved-item lists, manage shipping details, provide bilingual English/French training materials and remote training, and operate bilingual customer service by email and telephone, including a toll-free number. The goods list and CSC institution list are provided in the attached documents, including the listed PDFs. This opportunity may be relevant to an e-commerce business with nationwide fulfillment, controlled product catalogues, returns management, secure business-account functionality, and bilingual Canadian customer support. The notice does not establish that any particular business qualifies, and suppliers would need to demonstrate their capabilities against the complete requirements and attachments. The notice shows a closing date of December 31, 2100, at 1:00 p.m., which appears unusual and should be confirmed. It is a republication of an earlier notice, and suppliers previously subscribed to notifications are told to subscribe again. Review the original notice and all current attachments on Canada Buys before preparingor submitting a statement of capabilities: https://canadabuys.canada.ca/en/tender-opportunities/tender-notice/pw-21-00974352. Verify the official closing date, submission instructions, item list, institution list, and any security, privacy, accessibility, bilingual-service, delivery, or account-management requirements directly in the official tender notice.
