Department of Public Works and Government Services (PSPC) - *Canada, Gatineau, QC

This appears to be an open Innovative Solutions Canada (ISC) challenge sponsored by Shared Services Canada and administered through Public Works and Government Services Canada. It seeks an AI governance solution that can make AI decision-making more visible and traceable, help maintain compliance with Canadian laws, policies and standards, identify affected AI systems when requirements change, and support reassessment, auditability, explainability and human oversight. Potentially relevant businesses may include Canadian AI, machine-learning, cybersecurity, compliance, enterprise-software or governance technology companies with a solution that can integrate with government enterprise systems and AI/ML lifecycle platforms. The notice specifically refers to standards-based APIs, connectors and interoperable data exchange for information such as AI-system metadata, risk assessments, compliance findings, audit evidence, monitoring results, approvals and decision records. The supplied description is truncated, so additional mandatory outcomes and evaluation requirements are not available here. The funding mechanism is a contract. The notice states that one Phase 2 contract is estimated, with a maximum value of $2,000,000 CAD excluding applicable taxes and certain expenses, and a maximum duration of up to 20 months. Multiple contracts could be awarded, but Canada does not commit to awarding the full stated amount. No travel is expected; meetings are planned by telephone or videoconference. To apply, the notice directs proponents to review ISC Call for Proposals 004 (EN578-24ISC4), then submit a proposal through the ISC challenge webpage. The listed closing date is December 22, 2026 at 2:00 p.m.; the description also says the ISC website will be available October 30, 2026 at 10:30 a.m. ET. Because the supplied record has no direct official-source URL and appears to contain incomplete text, confirm the deadline, submission method, eligibility rules, Phase 1 requirements, mandatory outcomes, evaluation criteria and contract terms in the official Canada Buys and ISC notices before preparing or submitting a proposal. This summary does not establish that any company qualifies.

Department of Public Works and Government Services (PSPC) - *Canada, Gatineau, Québec

**Tender summary — Innovative Solutions Canada (ISC) Call for Proposals 004** Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC), on behalf of Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED), is seeking innovative, pre-commercial goods and services that could help federal departments address specific challenges. This appears to be an ongoing, program-level call rather than a tender for one specific product or service. Individual **Challenge Notices** will identify the problem to be solved and provide important details such as the applicable phase, expected outcomes, potential number and value of contracts, contract duration, technology-readiness requirements, and the challenge-specific closing date. **Key information provided:** - **Status:** Open - **Overall closing date:** December 24, 2026 at 12:59 p.m. — the notice should be checked for the applicable time zone and any challenge-specific deadlines. - **Buyer:** Department of Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC), for the ISC program and participating federal departments - **Location:** Canada; listed location is Gatineau, Quebec - **Amendment:** Amendment 001 changes the Challenge Stream closing date. **How the program works:** - **Phase 1 — Proof of Feasibility:** Intended for innovations generally at Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 1–4. The work focuses on research and development and demonstrating that the solution is feasible. - **Phase 2 — Prototype Development:** May be available for innovations at TRL 5–9 when permitted by the relevant Challenge Notice. The objective is to develop, test, and deliver a prototype. - Businesses completing Phase 1 may potentially be invited to Phase 2, but advancement is discretionary and not guaranteed. - Later opportunities may include the Testing Stream for late-stage prototypes, generally TRL 7–9, and a Pathway to Commercialization. The program is designed primarily to support **small businesses developing pre-commercial innovations**. A business should compare its solution, technology-readiness level, ownership and eligibility details, proposed research plan, and expected outcomes against the specific Challenge Notice before preparing a submission. This opportunity appears potentially relevant to Canadian small businesses with an innovative solution that addresses a listed federal challenge. It does not, by itself, establish that a company qualifies or that funding or a contract will be awarded. Review the complete official solicitation, Amendment 001, and the applicable Challenge Notice on Canada Buys before submitting a proposal.Official documents provided are: https://canadabuys.canada.ca/sites/default/files/webform/tender_notice/41135/isc-call-for-proposals-004-en578-24isc4_amd001_ext-prolong_bil_0.pdf and https://canadabuys.canada.ca/sites/default/files/webform/tender_notice/41135/isc-call-for-proposals-004-en578-24isc4.pdf

Department of Public Works and Government Services (PSPC) - *National Capital Region (NCR), Gatineau, Quebec

This appears to be a test tender from Public Works and Government Services Canada (PSPC), marked open and closing on December 30, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. It is listed for the National Capital Region, including Gatineau, Quebec, under category “GD.” However, the description explicitly says: “This is a test. Please do not respond.” It therefore does not appear to be an active business opportunity. No tender documents were provided. Verify the official notice at https://discovery.ariba.com/rfx/23538567 before taking any action, and do not submit a bid unless the official notice confirms that responses are requested.

Defence Construction Canada - Atlantic Region - Bedford, Nova Scotia

This appears to be an Advance Procurement Notice, not a request for proposals yet. Defence Construction Canada is signalling a very large upcoming opportunity related to NORAD Northern Basing Infrastructure at Deployed Operating Base Goose Bay in Newfoundland and Labrador. The notice says the future contract may exceed $5B and would use a Modified Design-Build delivery model, covering phases such as requirements validation, design, and construction. The scope described includes major airfield and base infrastructure work such as hangars, aprons, taxiways, runway rehabilitation, fuel and ammunition facilities, accommodations, warehousing, IT/cyber/logistics infrastructure, roads, and fire hall facilities. Security requirements will apply, and the notice suggests interested design-builders may need to start sponsorship/security clearance steps, but it also states there is no guarantee the contract will proceed or that clearances will be granted. From a Canadian business perspective, this potentially matches firms with experience in large-scale northern design-build construction, airport/airfield works, military or secure facilities, and teams that can manage both design and construction together. Indigenous participation, logistics, climate, and constructability in northern environments are expected to matter in the eventual RFP.Important: the official notice should be verified carefully on MERX before making any bid decisions, because this is only a preliminary notice and the final RFP details, evaluation criteria, and timelines may change.

Parks Canada Agency (PC) - *Ontario (except NCR) *Newfoundland and Labrador *Saskatchewan *Yukon *Canada *British Columbia *Quebec (except NCR) *Alberta *Northwest Territories *Prince Edward Island *Manitoba *New Brunswick *Nova Scotia *National Capital Region (NCR), *World, Gatineau, Quebec

This Parks Canada Agency Request for Supply Arrangement (RFSA) appears relevant to businesses that provide exhibit-related services, including project management, content development, writing, graphic and exhibit design, fabrication, and installation. Services may be offered as a complete turnkey package or on an à la carte basis. The arrangement is intended to create a list of pre-qualified suppliers for future work at Parks Canada locations, including national historic sites, national parks, national park reserves, urban national parks, and national marine conservation areas. It may cover work across Canada, including specified regions and locations subject to comprehensive land claim agreements. Nunavut requirements are excluded and would be handled separately.There are two streams: a general stream and a stream set aside for businesses that meet the federal Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business (PSIB) requirements. Indigenous businesses may also submit for general-stream opportunities, but PSIB eligibility must be certified to use the Indigenous stream. This is an opportunity to qualify for a supply arrangement rather than a guarantee of a specific contract. Future contracts under the arrangement may have a maximum expenditure of $3,749,999.99, including applicable taxes and fees. The qualification opportunity is listed as open until December 31, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Suppliers should review the solicitation for the exact time zone, mandatory requirements, evaluation criteria, regional coverage options, and documentation needed to qualify.Important submission instructions: Parks Canada states that bids are not currently accepted through SAP Ariba. Responses must be submitted by fax or by email as specified in the solicitation. The stated acceptable email address is [email protected]. In-person and courier submissions will not be accepted, email links will not be accepted, and the maximum total email size is 15 MB. Multiple properly labelled emails may be required for larger submissions. A Canadian business with relevant exhibit, design, content, fabrication, installation, or project-management capabilities potentially matches one or more streams, depending on its experience, capacity, geographic coverage, and ability to meet the mandatory requirements. Before preparing a response, verify the complete and latest official tender documents—including all amendments and the technical evaluation documents—to confirm eligibility, submission procedures, deadlines, PSIB rules, and any required certifications.
