Department of National Defence (DND) - Services - Réf. cb-789-71410272

The Department of National Defence, through Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC), is seeking up to four contractors for three-year contracts: two Level 3 information technology security research and development specialists, one Level 3 satellite communications specialist, and one Level 3 telecommunications systems specialist. The work appears to relate to cyber protection and telecommunications services and may be performed in Ontario outside the National Capital Region, the NCR/Ottawa, or elsewhere as specified in the solicitation. Delivery is described as ASAP, and proposals are due by September 22, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. This is a Tier 1 requirement valued below $4.5 million. A major restriction is that the opportunity is open only to suppliers pre-qualified under the TBIPS Supply Arrangement, specifically the listed streams, regions, and tier. It has also been conditionally set aside under the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business (PSIB), so a bidder would need to certify that it meets the applicable Indigenous-business definition and PSIB requirements. The RFP documents are not posted publicly on Canada Buys; they are expected to be emailed by the Contracting Authority to invited, pre-qualified suppliers. This opportunity potentially matches a business only if it is an invited TBIPS supplier for the required streams and can meet the PSIB conditions. Verify the complete official tender notice, invitation, RFP, qualification requirements, security requirements, scope, and submission instructions before deciding whether to bid. Bid Maple is not affiliated with the Government of Canada.
