Defence Construction Canada - Atlantic Region - Bedford, Nova Scotia
This tender appears to be an open pre-qualification list, not a one-time construction job. Defence Construction Canada (Atlantic Region) is inviting contractors and suppliers to apply to be added to an Open Construction Source List (OCSL) for construction work at CFB Halifax and satellite sites in Nova Scotia for April 1, 2026 to March 31, 2029. Plain English summary: - If your business wants to do construction work for Department of National Defence projects at CFB Halifax, this OCSL may be relevant. - The list covers commercial, residential, industrial, institutional, and civil work. - Future work opportunities would be sent only to businesses already on the OCSL. - The expected value of individual tenders appears to be $10 million or less. - DCC asks businesses to apply as soon as possible, preferably by March 4, 2026, though applications can apparently be requested anytime. DCC says it needs 10 business days to process an application. - Applications must be submitted through MERX; fax, mail, and email are not accepted. - Applicants must choose English or French for all future documents and communication. - Businesses that were on the previous source list need to re-apply. - An active MERX account appears necessary to submit bids later. - DCC may use additional pre-qualification requirements for specific future tenders, and some opportunities may be set aside for Indigenous businesses or include an Indigenous benefits requirement. Important caution: - This is only a summary of the notice and does not mean your business qualifies. - You should verify the official MERX posting and any related DCC requirements before applying or bidding, including eligibility, documentation, language choice, and any Indigenous business or subcontracting requirements. - Also confirm the closing/application timing and whether your business name matches what appears on the source list.
