Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) - *National Capital Region (NCR), *Canada, Ottawa, Ontario
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is seeking plumbing services for its Ottawa Laboratory Fallowfield in Ottawa, Ontario. The work must follow the Statement of Work in the request for proposal. The tender is currently listed as open and closes on November 17, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. The notice indicates that security requirements apply, so businesses should review the solicitation documents carefully for personnel, site-access, and other security obligations. This procurement is subject to reciprocal procurement rules. Canadian suppliers and suppliers from applicable trading partners may be eligible, while suppliers from non-trading partners will be rejected. The opportunity is also conditionally set aside under the federal Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business (PSIB). It is initially open to Indigenous and non-Indigenous businesses; however, if at least two Indigenous businesses submit bids, the procurement will be set aside under PSIB. Businesses seeking consideration under PSIB must certify that they meet the applicable Indigenous business definition and comply with PSIB requirements. This opportunity may therefore be relevant to plumbing contractors serving the Ottawa/National Capital Region, but businesses should assess their own capabilities, security readiness, and eligibility against the official documents. The listed contracting authority is Ashley Bennett at CFIA: [email protected]. The notice warns that the bid-receiving email address is for bid delivery only and should not be used for other communications. Review both the Request for Proposal and Addendum No. 1 before preparing a submission. Verify the closing time, submission method, mandatory requirements, security conditions, PSIB provisions, insurance, licensing, pricing, and Statement of Work in the official tender documents.Document links provided: https://canadabuys.canada.ca/sites/default/files/webform/tender_notice/111602/2027-00182---request-for-proposal.pdf and https://canadabuys.canada.ca/sites/default/files/webform/tender_notice/111602/2027-00182---addendum-no-1---addenda-no-1.pdf.
