AAFC REQUEST FOR SUPPLY ARRANGEMENT - PMC Analysis of Pesticide Residues

The Government of Canada, through Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, is soliciting offers to establish a supply arrangement for the chemical analysis of pesticide residues in crop samples collected from field trials across Canada and the United States. The analyses must adhere strictly to the OECD Principles of Good Laboratory Practices (rev 1997), approved study plans and amendments, and Health Canada’s Pesticides Regulatory Directorate Residue Chemistry Guidelines. The resulting data will support regulatory submissions for new minor pesticide uses, ensuring compliance with national safety and efficacy standards. Offerors must demonstrate capability to perform precise, compliant, and reproducible residue analyses under controlled conditions. The solicitation, identified as CSC2627-0278, was posted on August 4, 2026, with responses due by September 10, 2026. The contract will be managed by the Department of Agriculture and Agri-Food, with Kyle Harrington serving as the primary point of contact for technical and contractual inquiries. Performance of services will span multiple locations in Canada and the U.S., requiring logistical coordination and adherence to international regulatory frameworks. Offerors are expected to provide not only analytical expertise but also documentation and quality assurance protocols that meet the rigorous requirements of Health Canada’s regulatory review process for pesticide approvals.
