Defence Construction Canada - National Capital Region - Ottawa, Ontario

This appears to be an Advance Procurement Notice from Defence Construction Canada for potential construction, maintenance, modernization, professional-services, and housing-related opportunities in the National Capital Region, including Ottawa and potentially Gatineau. The work may involve Real Property Operations Group facilities and Canadian Forces Housing Agency residential housing. This notice is not a bid solicitation or request for proposals. It is intended to give contractors and consultants early information so they can assess their capacity, monitor future tenders, and begin any applicable security-clearance or sponsorship steps. There is no guarantee that the listed projects will proceed, receive approval, or be released on the anticipated schedule. Future opportunities may be issued through open tenders or RFPs on MERX or Canada Buys, the Open Construction Source List, source lists, standing offers, or other procurement tools. The notice specifically refers to the Open Construction Source List for Ottawa/Gatineau, identified as OCSL No. CR26SLWA_86073, which interested contractors may review on MERX. A MERX account is reportedly required to apply to that source list. Some future contracts may have security requirements, and bidders may need to hold or obtain the required clearances before contract award. Certain projects may also be reserved for Indigenous businesses under the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business. The anticipated project list and security details are in a document available through MERX, but that document should be reviewed directly because project scope, timing, eligibility, and requirements may differ by opportunity. The notice shows an open status and a closing date of March 31, 2029 at 2:00 p.m. However, this date should not be treated as a bid deadline for a specific project. A business potentially interested in this program should monitor MERX and Canada Buys, review the attached project list, assess its construction or consulting capacity, and investigate security-clearance requirements where relevant. Before taking action or submitting any future bid, verify all details in the official tender notice and the applicable solicitation documents.

Defence Construction Canada - Ontario Region - Kingston, Ontario

Defence Construction Canada (DCC) is creating an Open Construction Source List (OCSL) for contractors and suppliers providing commercial, residential, industrial, institutional, and civil construction services for Department of National Defence sites in the Greater Toronto, Central Ontario, and Southern Ontario areas. The posting identifies Kingston, Ontario as the tender location, but the listed work sites are spread across Central and Southern Ontario, including Toronto, Hamilton, London, Windsor, and surrounding communities. This is not a contract for immediate work. Businesses accepted onto the list may later be invited through MERX to bid on construction opportunities valued at up to approximately $10 million. DCC may require additional pre-qualification for specific tenders, site meetings, or other source lists. Key points: - The source-list period is April 1, 2026, to March 31, 2029. - The posting is open until March 31, 2029, at 2:00 p.m.; DCC requests applications as soon as possible, preferably by March 4, 2026. - DCC indicates it needs about 10 business days to process an application. - Applications must be submitted electronically through the MERX posting. Faxed, mailed, and emailed submissions will not be accepted. - An active MERX account is required. - Applicants must select either English or French. That language will apply to future tender and contract documents and communications for the duration of the source list. - Businesses previously listed for the 2023–2026 OCSL must re-apply for the 2026–2029 list. - A bidder’s legal name must appear on the applicable source list, or DCC may consider the bid non-compliant. - Some future opportunities may be reserved for Indigenous businesses under the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business, subject to the stated registration requirements. This opportunity potentially matches Ontario construction businesses that want access to future DCC tender invitations, but placement on the list and eligibility for any particular contract are not guaranteed.

Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) - *Canada, Ottawa, Ontario

DFO’s Canadian Hydrographic Service is seeking pre-qualified suppliers for a five-year Supply Arrangement covering hydrographic and bathymetric services. The arrangement appears relevant to organizations with expertise in one or more of four service streams: (1) hydrographic/bathymetric training, (2) navigational charting support and production, (3) bathymetric data assessment and processing, and (4) hydrographic/bathymetric consulting. Work would be assigned on an as-needed basis rather than guaranteed through one immediate contract. The arrangement is proposed to run from issuance until December 31, 2029, and the notice is listed as open until June 30, 2029, at 1:00 p.m. Eastern time. This notice cancels and replaces solicitation 30004518 dated August 29, 2024; submissions under the earlier solicitation are no longer accepted. Security requirements apply, so personnel and organizational screening may be necessary. The arrangement is intended for work across Canada, but certain locations covered by Comprehensive Land Claims Agreements—including areas in Yukon, the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Quebec, and Labrador—are excluded and would require separate procurement processes. Potentially interested businesses should review the full RFSA and refresh documents for mandatory qualifications, technical requirements, experience, security clauses, submission instructions, and any applicable certification requirements. The official notice and documents should be checked on Canada Buysbefore preparing or submitting a response: https://canadabuys.canada.ca/sites/default/files/webform/tender_notice/65770/30004518a---rfsa.pdf and https://canadabuys.canada.ca/sites/default/files/webform/tender_notice/65770/30004518a---rfsa-refresh--june-2026.pdf.
