Defence Construction Canada - Western Region - Edmonton, Alberta
This appears to be an ongoing registration opportunity, not a single one-time construction project. Defence Construction Canada (DCC) is inviting contractors and suppliers to apply to an Open Construction Source List (OCSL) for work at CFB Calgary and nearby satellite sites in Alberta for April 1, 2026 to March 31, 2029. If added to the list, you could later be invited to bid on construction jobs valued at up to $10 million, including commercial, residential, industrial, institutional, and civil work. Key points for a Canadian business owner: -Buyer: Defence Construction Canada, Western Region -Location: Edmonton, Alberta, but the work area is CFB Calgary and satellite sites in Alberta -Status: Open -Deadline shown: March 31, 2029 at 4:00 PM - They prefer applications as soon as possible, ideally by March 4, 2026, because DCC says it needs about 10 business days to process an application - Applications must be submitted through MERX; fax, mail, or email will not be accepted - An active MERX account is required - If your business was on the previous source list, it needs to re-apply for the new period - You must choose English or French for all future documents and communication - DCC may also use Indigenous set-asides or Indigenous subcontracting requirements on some future opportunities Why it may be relevant: - It potentially matches construction contractors or suppliers looking to work on federal defence-related projects in Alberta - It may be a good fit for businesses that want access to future tender calls rather than one immediate contract Important caution: - You must verify the official MERX notice before submitting, since DCC can change requirements, add pre-qualification steps, or use other source lists/open tenders instead - Being on the OCSL appears to be necessary to bid on future calls under this list, but it does not guarantee work
