Defence Construction Canada - National Capital Region - Ottawa, Ontario
Defence Construction Canada (DCC) is creating an Open Construction Source List (OCSL) for contractors and suppliers interested in future construction work in Nunavut, including Iqaluit, Rankin Inlet, Alert, and North Warning System sites. The work may include commercial, residential, industrial, institutional, and civil construction, generally valued at $10 million or less. This is not a contract award or a specific construction project. Businesses must apply through the MERX posting to be added to the source list. DCC says applications can be submitted at any time, but preferably by March 4, 2026, and it may take 10 business days to process an application. The source list covers April 1, 2026, to March 31, 2029, with the current posting scheduled to close March 31, 2029, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern time. Businesses listed on the previous source list must re-apply. Applicants must select either English or French as their official language for future tender documents, contract documents, and communications. Applications must be submitted electronically through MERX; faxed, mailed, and emailed submissions will not be accepted. An active MERX account will be required to submit applications and future electronic bids. Businesses added to the OCSL may later be invited to bid on specific opportunities, but being on the list does not guarantee invitations, work, or contract awards. DCC may impose additional requirements for individual tenders, use other source lists, post some tenders openly, 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. A business should review the complete official MERX notice and application requirements, confirm it can operate in Nunavut and meet any future project-specific conditions, and verify the required performance standards before applying.The official source is: https://www.merx.com/public/solicitations/3804640553/abstract?language=EN. This summary is not a determination that a business qualifies.
