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

This appears to be an open Innovative Solutions Canada (ISC) challenge sponsored by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED), with PSPC listed as the buyer. The government is seeking a novel magnetometer—quantum, classical, or hybrid—with improved sensitivity, specificity, size, weight, power consumption, cost, or ability to operate across multiple environments. The proposed system would likely need to combine hardware and software and detect very weak magnetic signals for defence, security, medical, or commercial applications. The challenge identifies technologies such as SQUID, SQIF, NV-diamond, Rydberg-atom, and SERF sensors as possible approaches, but does not appear to limit submissions to these technologies. Key mandatory outcomes described include: - Detect magnetic anomalies at distances of at least 2 metres, with relative error below 10%. - Provide azimuth and inclination readings within ±5 degrees. - Achieve at least 500 picotesla sensitivity in a prototype, with a target of 10 femtotesla. - Distinguish a target signal from background magnetic noise. - Detect and classify three specific Steel 1018 ferromagnetic targets from at least 10 metres through free space, with a 95% true-positive rate for detection and classification. - Roughly characterize the source, such as distinguishing a point source from a larger object, to within approximately ±5 centimetres. - Provide sensing, ranging, directional readings, and displayed results within 200 milliseconds. The listed opening date is October 30, 2026, and the closing date is November 27, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The challenge is located in Canada, with Gatineau, Quebec shown in the listing. The funding mechanism is identified as a contract. Applications appear to be submitted through the ISC challenge process rather than through a conventional price-based tender. The notice directs proponents to review ISC Call for Proposals 004 (EN578-24ISC4) and then submit through the ISED challenge webpage. The description provided is truncated, so additional technical, eligibility, intellectual-property, security, testing, and proposal requirements may apply. A Canadian business developing advanced magnetometry, sensing, signal processing, or related defence and security systems may find this potentially relevant. However, this summary does not establish eligibility or compliance. Review the complete official challenge notice and Call for Proposals, confirm the submission method and deadlines, and verify every mandatory requirement with the official sources before submitting a proposal.

Defence Construction Canada - National Capital Region - Ottawa, Ontario

This appears to be an Advance Procurement Notice from Defence Construction Canada for large-scale facilities maintenance and support services in Northern Canada. It is not currently a bid solicitation or request for proposals, and there is no guarantee that the planned contracts will proceed. The anticipated work could cover approximately 100 buildings and related infrastructure, with an estimated total area of 60,000 m². Services may include building and equipment maintenance, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, fire and life-safety systems, generators, security systems, janitorial services, landscaping, pest control, hazardous-waste and environmental services, snow and ice control, waste management, utility support, help-desk services, emergency response, and maintenance-program management. Potential locations include Churchill, Manitoba; Inuvik and Yellowknife; Whitehorse; and several Nunavut locations, including Iqaluit, Resolute Bay, Eureka, Rankin Inlet, Gascoyne Inlet, and Nanisivik Naval Facility. Thenotice anticipates two possible contracts: one for Manitoba, the Northwest Territories, and Yukon, with a potential estimated value of $240 million; and one for Nunavut, with a potential estimated value of $225 million. Each could have an initial five-year term plus two three-year options, for a possible total of up to 11 years. The related solicitations are anticipated around winter 2026–2027, with service commencement anticipated in winter 2028, subject to project approval. The notice identifies an anticipated Secret-level Facility Security Clearance. Businesses that may wish to participate and do not already hold the required clearance are encouraged to review the Defence Construction Canada Industrial Security Program sponsorship process, although sponsorship does not guarantee clearance or contract award. The program may also create subcontracting, employment, and training opportunities for Indigenous businesses and communities. A business considering this opportunity should assess its northern operating capacity, relevant facilities-management experience, ability to support remote sites, subcontractor and logistics arrangements, and security-clearance requirements. This notice alone does not establish bidding requirements or confirm eligibility. Review the official notice and any future solicitation documents carefully before taking action or submitting a proposal: https://www.merx.com/public/solicitations/4083739956/abstract?language=EN. The listed closing date is November 30, 2026 at 2:00 p.m., but because this is an advance notice, confirm the current status and applicable deadlines in the official source.

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

This appears to be an open Innovative Solutions Canada challenge sponsored by the National Research Council (NRC), with participation from the Department of National Defence and Shared Services Canada. PSPC is listed as the buyer for the tender notice. The Government is seeking development of a High-Altitude Platform System (HAPS) capable of providing ultra-long-range wireless backhaul—potentially for defence, public safety, emergency response, border monitoring, and remote-area communications. Key mandatory capabilities include: - Reaching an altitude of approximately 20 km, with lateral movement within a similar 20 km corridor. - Remaining at a fixed location relative to Earth for at least three days. - Launching, deploying, and operating from land or water. - Providing at least 100 watts for long-range sensors. - Delivering high-bandwidth, highly available, low-latency wireless connectivity comparable to 4G/LTE, Starlink, or an equivalent system. - Supporting existing wireless systems and infrastructure. - Covering at least 1,000 km² of service area and 200 km² of transit area. - Deploying within six hours for heavier-than-air systems or 24 hours for lighter-than-air systems. - Using automated decision-making for flight operations and manoeuvres. - Operating in temperatures from -50°C to at least -70°C. Additional desired capabilities include renewable-energy generation and recharging, automated or non-assisted launch and landing, support for next-generation wireless systems, resistance to interference, communications security and platform hardening, and the ability to relay signals between HAPS platforms. The complete solicitation documents should be reviewed for the remaining requirements. The applicant is responsible for securing a demonstration site and obtaining a Special Flight Operations Certificate (SFOC) from Transport Canada. The funding mechanism is identified as a contract. The stated closing deadline is December 1, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Amendment 001 adds a questions-and-answers document, which should be reviewed before preparing a submission. Potential applicants should review the ISC Call for Proposals 004, the full challenge notice, the amendment, and the submission instructions on the official Innovative Solutions Canada and Canada Buys websites. This opportunity may be relevant to Canadian businesses with HAPS, aerospace, telecommunications, autonomous-systems, renewable-energy, or secure communications capabilities, but the information provided does not establish eligibility or compliance. Verify all requirements, dates, forms, intellectual-property terms, and submission procedures in the official tender notice before submitting a proposal.

Department of Indigenous Services (ISC) - *Yukon, Gatineau, Quebec

This open tender appears to seek up to five Standing Offer Agreements with engineering firms that can provide geotechnical and hydrotechnical services at abandoned mine and other contaminated sites throughout Yukon. The work would support site care and maintenance, remediation planning, assessments, designs, and related engineering tasks. Specific assignments would be issued on an as-needed basis through individual call-ups, so the scope may vary by site. The requirement is for Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada (CIRNAC), although the listing identifies Indigenous Services Canada as the buyer. Projects may involve sites covered by several Yukon First Nations’ Comprehensive Land Claims Agreements, so experience working in northern, remote, contaminated-site, and Indigenous or land-claims contexts may be relevant. The listing states that no security requirements apply. The proposed standing-offer period runs from award until March 31, 2030, with two optional one-year extensions. The stated closing deadline is December 7, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. The location is primarily Yukon, with Gatineau, Quebec also shown in the listing, potentially reflecting an administrative location. Businesses considering this opportunity should review the complete official RFSO and tender notice for mandatory qualifications, personnel and corporate experience requirements, financial provisions, submission instructions, evaluation criteria, insurance, Indigenous participation expectations, and the precise closing-time rules. This summary does not determine whether a company qualifies. Verify all details in the official documents before submitting a bid: https://canadabuys.canada.ca/sites/default/files/webform/tender_notice/111286/1000266813_npp_enfr.pdf and https://canadabuys.canada.ca/sites/default/files/webform/tender_notice/111286/1000266813_rfso.pdf

The tender is currently listed as open and closes on December 7, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. The RFP documents and amendments should be reviewed carefully for mandatory technical, security, geographic, submission, and certification requirements. A supplier should not assume it can bid or meet the requirements based on this summary alone. Verify all details, deadlines, amendments, and submission instructions in the official tender notice and RFP documents before submitting a proposal.

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) - *National Capital Region (NCR), Gatineau, Quebec

This appears to be an open Request for Information (RFI) from PSPC for Command and Control (C2) tools supporting Land Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Modernization (LISRM). In plain English, the buyer is seeking industry input on software modules that can be integrated with existing networks and sensors to improve the Canadian Army’s operational effectiveness and situational awareness. The opportunity is located in the National Capital Region (Gatineau, Quebec) and is currently open with a closing date of 2026-12-31 09:30. For a Canadian business, this may be relevant if you provide defence-related software, C2 systems, integration services, or related digital capabilities. Because this is an RFI, it appears to be more about gathering market information than awarding a contract at this stage. You should verify all details directly in the official notice before deciding whether to respond or bid.

Defence Construction Canada - Atlantic Region - Bedford, Nova Scotia

This is an advance procurement notice from Defence Construction Canada (Atlantic Region) about potential construction, maintenance, professional-service, and related opportunities at 14 Wing Greenwood in Nova Scotia. It is not a bid solicitation or request for proposals. The notice is intended to give businesses time to assess their interest and prepare for future opportunities. There is no guarantee that the projects will proceed, that a particular contract will be issued, or that security clearances will be granted. Potential procurement routes include: - Open tenders or RFPs advertised through MERX and, where applicable, Canada Buys. - The Open Construction Source List (OCSL) for 14Wing Greenwood: AR26SLGW_86028. - Quick Response Tender source lists for commercial general contracting (GW26SL02), residential general contracting (GW26SL03), and mechanical contracting (GW26SL04). - Other source lists, standing offers, and standing offer agreements for construction, professional, environmental, architectural, engineering, and related services. Some future projects may involve security requirements, and some may be reserved for Indigenous businesses under the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business. Source-list opportunities may be invitation-only, and a MERX account is required to apply to the listed MERX source lists. The notice shows a closing date of March 31, 2027 at 1:00 p.m.; this appears to be the closing date for the advance notice or related process, not necessarily a deadline to bid on a specific construction contract. The listed location is Bedford, Nova Scotia, while the projects described are at 14 Wing Greenwood; this should be confirmed in the official notice. A potentially interested business should review the complete MERX notice and attachments, determine whether the relevant source-list application windows are still open, assess any insurance, experience, bonding, licensing, Indigenous-business, and security-clearance requirements, and monitor future solicitations. Verify all dates, scope, eligibility conditions, security procedures, and submission instructions in the official tender notice before taking action or submitting anything.
