Defence Construction Canada - Western Region - Edmonton, Alberta
Defence Construction Canada (DCC) is creating an Open Construction Source List (OCSL) for contractors and suppliers interested in future construction work at CFB Shilo. The list covers commercial, residential, industrial, institutional, and civil projects valued at up to approximately $10 million, during the period April 1, 2026 to March 31, 2029. Businesses may apply at any time while the list is open, but DCC requested applications as soon as possible, preferably by March 4, 2026. DCC says it may take 10 business days to process an application. Businesses previously listed for 2023–2026 must re-apply for this new period. To apply, a business must submit its request through the MERX posting, select either English or French as its official language for future tender documents and communications, and maintain an active MERX account. Faxed, mailed, or emailed applications will not be accepted. Future opportunities are expected to be issued electronically through MERX, and a business generally must appear on the OCSL under its correct legal name to bid on related tender calls. DCC may impose additional requirements for individual projects, require site meetings, use other source lists, post some work openly instead of through this list, or reserve opportunities for Indigenous businesses under the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business. Some tenders may also require Indigenous subcontracting or an Indigenous Benefits Plan. Performance evaluations may affect continued participation on the list. The listing shows a closing date of March 31, 2029 at 3:00 p.m. The record identifies Edmonton, Alberta, while the opportunity concerns work at CFB Shilo; businesses should confirm the applicable work location, submission instructions, eligibility or pre-qualification requirements, and any updates in the official MERX notice before applying. This opportunity appears potentially relevant to Canadian construction contractors and suppliers with suitable capabilities, but the notice does not establish that any particular business qualifies.
