Department of Public Works and Government Services (PSPC) - *Canada, Gatineau, Quebec
This appears to be an open qualification opportunity for Canadian suppliers interested in the Defence Drone Initiative (DDI) Marketplace. The Department of National Defence, through the Defence Investment Agency and PSPC, is seeking suppliers for a Supply Arrangement marketplace related to defence drones. This is an RFSA/qualification process, so it may lead to eligibility for future opportunities rather than being a single purchase contract. The Round 2-C submission deadline is 6 November 2026 at 2:00 p.m. EDT. The notice specifically says to disregard other response deadlines shown in Ariba Discovery or Canada Buys. Late submissions may be considered in a later qualification round. An industry engagement event is scheduled for 15 October 2026 at 11:00 a.m. EDT. Registration is mandatory and must be requested by email at [email protected]. Six identical events are available, with capacity limited to 100 bids per event; suppliers should submit under only one event. The opportunity is listed for Canada, with Gatineau, Quebec shown as the location. Businesses should review the complete official tender materials, registration instructions, eligibility requirements, technical specifications, submission process, and any security or certification requirements before deciding whether to participate.The official posting is available here: https://portal.us.bn.cloud.ariba.com/dashboard/public/appext/comsapsbncdiscoveryui#/Rfx Event/preview/1110027885?an Id=ANONYMOUS.
