Parks Canada is seeking archaeological service providers for a national Supply Arrangement under solicitation 5P300-23-0054/A. The work may include archaeological overview assessments, inventories and surveys, impact assessments, mitigation strategies, archaeological analysis, and monitoring archaeological resources at protected heritage places. Multiple Supply Arrangements may be established by region and sub-region across Canada. Listed areas include Yukon, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, Indigenous lands, Northwest Territories, Prince Edward Island, Quebec outside the National Capital Region, Alberta, Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Manitoba, Ontario outside the NCR, the National Capital Region, and other locations identified in the solicitation. Individual work packages may be limited to particular regions or areas of expertise. The resulting contracts may have a maximum expenditure limit of $1,000,000, including applicable taxes and fees. The arrangement is described as an ongoing qualification opportunity, meaning additional suppliers may be able to apply over time, subject to the official requirements and applicable validity period. Important requirements and conditions include: - Bids must be submitted by email to [email protected]; Parks Canada states it is not accepting bids through SAP Ariba for this opportunity. - The stated maximum email size is 15 MB. Larger submissions may need to be divided into clearly labelled emails. - A security requirement applies. New personnel security clearance requests require fingerprints, and applicants are responsible for related fingerprinting costs. - Work must comply with the Canada National Parks Act and applicable regulations. - The procurement is subject to several comprehensive land claims agreements, including agreements covering parts of Quebec, Labrador, Nunavut/Nunavik, Yukon, the Northwest Territories, and British Columbia. - Parks Canada may use Indigenous procurement measures, such as the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business, Indigenous Benefits Plans, or set-asides for Indigenous Supply Arrangement holders. The tender record lists a closing date of December 13, 2100 at 2:00 p.m.; this unusually distant date may reflect the ongoing nature of the arrangement, but it should be confirmed in the latest official notice and amendments. Several amendments and supporting documents are listed, including the RFSA, regional areas of expertise, and archaeological work-experience forms. This opportunity appears potentially relevant to Canadian firms with terrestrial archaeology expertise, appropriate regional experience, and personnel able to meet the security and contractual requirements. Businesses should review the complete RFSA, all amendments, appendices, and submission instructions before deciding whether to respond. Bid Maple is not affiliated with the Government of Canada, and the official Parks Canada/Canada Buys documents should be verified for the current deadline, eligibility conditions, required qualifications, and email submission process before submitting a bid.
