Defence Construction Canada - Pacific Region - Victoria, British Columbia
This is an Advance Procurement Notice—not a bid solicitation or request for proposals—for anticipated PFAS soil remediation work at 19 Wing, CFB Comox in Lazo, British Columbia. Defence Construction Canada’s Pacific Region is the buyer. The potential design-bid-build contract is estimated at approximately $9.3 million, subject to approval to proceed. The anticipated solicitation posting is January 2027. Planned work may include in-situ chemical soil mixing and stabilization, selective excavation, off-site disposal, drainage improvements, and site restoration. The site has potential unexploded ordnance (UXO) risks, environmental protection requirements, and limited seasonal construction windows. Work is expected to occur in two phases. This opportunity appears potentially relevant to contractors with experience in contaminated-site remediation, PFAS treatment, soil stabilization, excavation and disposal, environmental construction, and work in defence or UXO-sensitive locations. Security requirements are expected, including Designated Organization Screening (DOS). Businesses that do not currently hold the required clearance may be able to seek sponsorship through DCC’s Industrial Security Program, but clearance is not guaranteed and the process may require significant lead time. The notice indicates that contractors generally need to begin sponsorship before the future solicitation is advertised and submit a proposal to complete the process. The notice also states that the project may include an Indigenous business participation component under the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business (PSIB). The provided record shows the notice as open with a date of November 23, 2026 at 5:00 p.m.; confirm what this date applies to and all response requirements in the official notice. This APN does not guarantee that the contract will proceed.
