Defence Construction Canada - Atlantic Region - Bedford, Nova Scotia
Defence Construction Canada (DCC) is accepting applications from contractors and suppliers for an Open Construction Source List covering commercial, residential, industrial, institutional, and civil work for the Department of National Defence. The work is expected at 5 CDSB Gagetown and satellite sites in New Brunswick, as well as sites in Prince Edward Island, during April 1, 2026 to March 31, 2029. This is not a contract award or a specific construction project. It is an opportunity to join a source list that DCC may use to invite registered businesses to bid on future construction tenders valued at up to approximately $10 million. DCC may also use other source lists, post some work openly on MERX, add project-specific prequalification requirements, or reserve opportunities for Indigenous businesses. Key points: - Applications must be submitted electronically through the MERX posting; mailed, emailed, or faxed applications will not be accepted. - Applicants need an active MERX account and must select either English or French as their official language. That language will apply to future tender and contract communications for the duration of the source list. - DCC requested applications as soon as possible, preferably by March 4, 2026, and indicates that processing may take 10 business days. The posting is shown as open until March 31, 2029, at 1:00 p.m.; verify these dates in the official notice. - Businesses listed on the previous 2023–2026 source list must apply again for the 2026–2029 period. - A business generally must appear on the source list used for a specific tender to bid, and its legal name must match its registration details. Name changes should be reported to DCC and updated in MERX. - Future invitations may require site meetings, additional qualifications, performance standards, or Indigenous subcontracting requirements. Some tenders may be reserved under the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business. This opportunity appears potentially relevant to Canadian construction contractors and suppliers able to work in New Brunswick and/or Prince Edward Island, but inclusion on the list and eligibility for any particular tender are not guaranteed.
