Defence Construction Canada - Pacific Region - Victoria, British Columbia
This appears to be an Advance Procurement Notice—not an active bid solicitation—for anticipated PFAS soil remediation work at 19 Wing, CFB Comox, in Lazo, British Columbia. Defence Construction Canada (Pacific Region) estimates the future project at approximately $9.3 million, subject to approval by the Department of National Defence. The anticipated work may include in-situ chemical soil mixing and stabilization, selective excavation, off-site disposal, drainage improvements, and site restoration. The project is expected to involve two construction phases, environmental protection requirements, UXO risks, and limited seasonal work windows. The notice also indicates that an Indigenous business participation component may apply. The anticipated solicitation is currently expected to be posted in January 2027, although this timing is not guaranteed. The APN shows a closing date of November 23, 2026, at 5:00 p.m.; businesses should confirm what that deadline applies to in the official notice. Security requirements are expected. The anticipated level is Designated Organization Screening (DOS). Businesses that do not already hold the required clearance may wish to review DCC’s Industrial Security Program sponsorship process and reference APN number 87758. Sponsorship does not guarantee that clearance will be granted or that the future contract will proceed, and contractors must still submit a proposal in the eventual solicitation to continue through the process. This opportunity potentially matches contractors with relevant environmental remediation, contaminated-soil treatment, excavation, disposal, drainage, restoration, construction management, and security-clearance capabilities. However, the notice does not establish bidding requirements or confirm eligibility. Review the complete official MERX notice and any later solicitation documents carefullybefore taking action or submitting a bid: https://www.merx.com/public/solicitations/4123898230/abstract?language=EN. Also verify the project location, deadlines, security requirements, Indigenous participation provisions, scope, and final procurement schedule with the official source.
