Defence Construction Canada - Ontario Region - Kingston, Ontario
Defence Construction Canada (DCC) is accepting applications from contractors and suppliers to join an Open Construction Source List (OCSL) for construction work for the Department of National Defence. The work appears to cover commercial, residential, industrial, institutional, and civil projects at CFB Borden and satellite sites in Meaford, Owen Sound, and Barrie, Ontario. The tender record lists Kingston, Ontario as the location, so this should be confirmed in the official notice. The source list will support future tenders valued at approximately $10 million or less during the three-year period from April 1, 2026, to March 31, 2029. Being placed on the list would allow a contractor or supplier to potentially receive invitations to bid on future opportunities; it is not an award of work or a guarantee of contracts. Applications must be submitted electronically through the MERX posting. Faxed, mailed, and emailed applications will not be accepted. Applicants need an active MERX account and must select either English or French as their preferred official language. That language will apply to future tender and contract documents and communications for the duration of the source list. Applications may be submitted at any time before the source-list closing date of March 31, 2029, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern time, but DCC requested applications as soon as possible, preferably by March 4, 2026. DCC states that processing an application may take 10 business days. Contractors and suppliers listed on the previous 2023–2026 source list must re-apply for this new period. A business would generally need to be listed on the OCSL under its correct legal name to bid on a tender call using the list. Specific future tenders may include additional pre-qualification requirements, site meetings, Indigenous business set-asides or subcontracting requirements, and other conditions. DCC may also use other source lists or issue some opportunities openly on MERX instead. This opportunity appears potentially relevant to Canadian construction contractors and suppliers interested in federal defence-related work in the CFB Borden area. Review the complete official MERX notice and application requirements carefully, confirm the applicable work locations and eligibility conditions, and verify all details directly with DCC or MERX before submitting an application or bid.Official source: https://www.merx.com/public/solicitations/3776296410/abstract?language=EN
