Parks Canada is seeking suppliers for a national supply arrangement covering terrestrial archaeology services at protected heritage places. Potentially relevant work includes archaeological overview assessments, inventories and surveys, impact assessments, mitigation strategies, archaeological analysis, and monitoring archaeological resources.
The arrangement may create multiple regional and sub-regional supply arrangements across Canada, including Yukon, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, Atlantic provinces, the Northwest Territories, Indigenous lands, and the National Capital Region. Individual contracts issued under the arrangement may have a maximum expenditure of $1,000,000, including applicable taxes and fees.
This appears to be an ongoing qualification opportunity, allowing additional suppliers to seek qualification over time. The notice lists a closing date of December 13, 2100, at 2:00 p.m.; this unusually distant date and the continuing-qualification process should be confirmed in the official documents.
Important submission instructions:
- Parks Canada states that 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. Larger submissions may need to be divided into clearly labelled emails referencing the solicitation number and indicating the sequence, such as “1 of 2.”
The procurement is subject to several comprehensive land claims agreements, including agreements involving James Bay and Northern Quebec, Nunavik, Labrador Inuit, Inuvialuit, Gwich’in, Sahtu, and multiple Yukon and British Columbia First Nations. Parks Canada may also use Indigenous procurement approaches, such as the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business, Indigenous Benefits Plans, or work set-asides for Indigenous suppliers.
A security requirement applies. Personnel security clearance applications may require fingerprinting, with related costs payable by the applicant. Work must also comply with applicable Parks Canada and National Park Act requirements.
A business considering this opportunity should review the full RFSA, all amendments and modification documents, the regional areas-of-expertise spreadsheet, and the archaeological work-experience spreadsheet before preparing a response. The official tender notice and solicitation documents control the requirements, deadlines, submission format, security conditions, and any eligibility or experience criteria. Bid Maple is not affiliated with the Government of Canada, and this summary does not establish that a business qualifies.
