Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) - *Ontario (except NCR), Ottawa, Ontario
This appears to be an open Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) tender for urinalysis sample collection services for federally released male offenders in Barrie and surrounding rural areas, Ontario. The closing date is September 17, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. The procurement is open only to Canadian suppliers and is expected to be awarded to the lowest-priced compliant bid. It is not subject to trade agreements, Indigenous supplier set-asides, or a Comprehensive Land Claim Agreement. The successful contractor would potentially need to: - Collect urine samples when referred by CSC, normally Monday to Friday between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. - Provide a collector of the same gender as the offender. - Respond to non-urgent requests within 24 hours and emergency requests within 3–4 hours. - Support occasional evening, weekend, and emergency collections. - Properly label, seal, document, store, and ship samples to an approved laboratory. - Maintain chain-of-custody records and complete CSC forms and monthly logs or detailed invoices. - Provide protective gloves and follow applicable CSC procedures and regulations. - Provide backup collection coverage for absences or other interruptions. - Provide a second person for certain collections at private residences or isolated locations. - Report refusals, inability to provide a sample, or suspicious behaviour to CSC as required. - Attend court hearings, audits, or meetings with CSC representatives when requested. The contract includes security requirements, so the official solicitation should be reviewed carefully for required clearances, personnel qualifications, insurance, service-area coverage, pricing instructions, contract term, and any specific response forms. The notice states that this solicitation cancels and replaces an earlier solicitation numbered 21470-31-5309193A. This opportunity appears potentially relevant to a Canadian business able to provide secure, discreet, mobile or local collection services in the Barrie area and meet the response-time, documentation, staffing, and security obligations.
