The Canadian Forces Housing Agency is issuing an advance procurement notice to inform potential Design-Builders of an upcoming housing construction program aimed at modernizing and expanding military housing for Canadian Armed Forces members across Canada. This initiative will utilize a Modified Design-Build delivery model to streamline the integration of site studies, architectural and engineering services, and construction under single contracts, enabling faster and more efficient delivery of residential units. The program involves multiple locations nationwide, with planned deployments ranging from 24 to over 1,100 units per site, primarily consisting of mid-rise apartment buildings to support higher-density development. Solicitations for nine distinct RFPs are anticipated between Spring/Summer and Fall 2026, pending approval from the Department of National Defence, with estimated construction costs ranging from $11 million to $510 million per location. Some locations may be bundled into single procurements, but most are expected to be awarded separately. The Government of Canada is committed to supporting Indigenous engagement through this program, actively seeking to create subcontracting, employment, and training opportunities for Indigenous businesses and communities. All solicitations will be released through Merx.com, where interested parties can access bidding information, though fees may apply. The advance notice does not constitute a solicitation or guarantee of future contracts, but provides early visibility into upcoming opportunities and timelines. Questions regarding the notice should be directed to Antoine am Rhyn of Defence Construction Canada, with responses due by August 14, 2026. The program underscores a national effort to align military housing infrastructure with current operational needs while promoting inclusive economic participation.

6794 La Jolla BlThe project at 6794 La Jolla Boulevard proposes the construction of a new three-story, 3,156-square-foot residential dwelling unit atop an existing at-grade parking lot, covering two mixed-use lots designated as Lots 42 and 43 and all of Lot 44 except its northerly 25 feet, as defined in the 1909 map of La Jolla Strand. The existing mixed-use residential and commercial building on site will remain untouched. To accommodate the proposed structure, the applicant seeks variances to exceed the allowable Gross Floor Area Ratio from 1.0 to 1.225, increasing total development from 6,729 square feet to 8,244.25 square feet, and to authorize three stories in an area where the La Jolla Planned District restricts buildings to two stories. The site is located within the Neighborhood Commercial land use zone and is subject to multiple overlays including the Coastal Overlay Zone, Coastal Height Limitation, Transit Priority Area, and Transit Area, which impose added constraints and requirements. The project requires a suite of permits including a Special Use Permit, Site Development Permit, Coastal Development Permit, and Neighborhood Development Permit to proceed.

APN - RP OPS and CFHA Base Program, Northern CanadaDefence Construction Canada is issuing an Advance Procurement Notice to inform industry of upcoming contract opportunities related to Real Property Operations and Canadian Forces Housing Agency base programs in Northern Canada, excluding Nunavut. This notice is not a solicitation but a preliminary alert to allow contractors and consultants to evaluate their readiness and begin preparing for future competitive procurements, which may include construction, professional services, or maintenance work under mechanisms such as open tenders, source lists, standing offers, or the Open Construction Source List. Projects are anticipated in Yukon, the Northwest Territories, and northern provincial regions and involve critical defence infrastructure, including airfields, accommodation facilities, fuel systems, and utilities designed for extreme climates and remote operations. Some contracts may require security clearances, and interested parties are strongly encouraged to initiate the Industrial Security Program sponsorship process through Defence Construction Canada to obtain necessary clearances prior to bidding, as eligibility for award is contingent on holding the required clearances at the time of contract award. The sponsorship process is discretionary and offered as support, not a guarantee, with applicants required to submit detailed requests quoting the APN number, contract references, and requested clearance levels. Defence Construction Canada will assist with internal sponsorship packages but has no control over the outcome, as final clearance decisions rest with Public Services and Procurement Canada’s Contract Security Program. There is no assurance that any solicitations will be issued or that clearances will be granted within expected timelines, nor is there any commitment to award contracts. Certain opportunities may be reserved for Indigenous businesses under the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business. Bidders must obtain documents via MERX or CanadaBuys, and all applications, fees, and risks associated with security clearance processing are the sole responsibility of the bidder. All inquiries regarding the APN should be directed to the designated point of contact, and participation in the sponsorship process constitutes acceptance of all associated terms, conditions, and liabilities.

APN - NORAD Northern Basing Infrastructure (NNBI), NWTThe Department of National Defence, through Defence Construction Canada, is advancing infrastructure development at the Forward Operating Locations in Inuvik and Yellowknife to support NORAD modernization and continental defence objectives. This initiative involves significant investments in airfield enhancements, hangars, fuel storage, ammunition compounds, accommodations, multi-purpose facilities, and robust IT, cyber, and logistics infrastructure, with preliminary estimates totaling over $5 billion per site. The procurement will be executed through Modified Design-Build contracts, one per location, with Inuvik scheduled for summer 2026 and Yellowknife for winter 2026/2027, contingent on government approval. The contracts will involve sequential and concurrent phases including requirements validation, design, and construction, with an emphasis on northern-specific challenges such as climate, logistics, and constructability. Proponents must demonstrate extensive experience in northern environments, integrated design and construction capabilities, and a commitment to meaningful Indigenous participation through the development of an Indigenous Benefits Plan covering subcontracting, employment, and training. To be eligible for contract award, proponents must hold an active Facility Security Clearance at the SECRET level prior to award. Defence Construction Canada is offering early sponsorship under its Industrial Security Program to assist potential bidders in initiating the security clearance process, though no guarantees are provided regarding approval or timing. Interested parties must submit a sponsorship request to DCC quoting the APN number PR24NNBI and clearly indicating the required clearance level, with applications processed at DCC’s discretion before the formal RFP release. The government underscores its commitment to reconciliation by mandating Indigenous engagement as a core component of contract delivery. All proposals will be evaluated not only on technical merit and northern expertise but also on the quality of proposed methodologies for working in remote Arctic conditions and Indigenous inclusion strategies. A formal interview will assess team capability, and the contract allows for self-performed work by the design-build team. The notice is not a solicitation for bids but a proactive step to enable early preparation for future competition, with full RFP details to be published later on MERX, subject to change and finalization upon release.

Proposals will be assessed on technical capability, logistical planning for extreme climates, constructability in remote regions, and a comprehensive Indigenous Benefits Plan ensuring meaningful participation, employment, training, and subcontracting opportunities for Indigenous communities. Bidders must submit sponsorship requests through DCC’s portal and comply with strict security application timelines, understanding that clearance approval rests solely with Public Services and Procurement Canada’s Contract Security Program and is neither guaranteed nor timed. While no binding commitment is made by this notice, it serves as a critical preparatory step for qualified firms to align their capabilities, secure clearances, and prepare competitive submissions ahead of the anticipated RFP release.

The OCSL covers commercial, residential, industrial, institutional, and civil construction work with contract values up to $10 million. This source list will be active for three fiscal years, from April 1, 2026, to March 31, 2029. Interested parties can apply at any time but are encouraged to submit their applications by March 4, 2026, with processing taking up to ten business days. Applicants must submit their requests electronically via MERX and select their preferred official language, which will be used consistently for all tender and contract communications throughout the duration of the OCSL. Previous OCSL members must re-apply to remain eligible. Contractors on the OCSL will be electronically invited to bid on relevant tenders through MERX and may be required to attend site meetings before tender closings. Bids will only be accepted from contractors registered on the OCSL, and any name changes must be updated with DCC and MERX to avoid non-compliance. DCC retains discretion to maintain existing or create new source lists for specific services outside this OCSL and may impose additional pre-qualification or security requirements on tenders, which could include Designated Organization Screening or Facility Security Clearance at the SECRET level. Tenders may also be set aside for Indigenous businesses in accordance with federal procurement strategies, requiring proper registrations and potential subcontracting commitments. Contractor performance is monitored, with poor evaluations potentially leading to removal from the OCSL. All contracts adhere to DCC’s Procurement Code of Conduct, and any firms suspended or declared ineligible by Public Services and Procurement Canada may be excluded. Security clearances, Indigenous participation, and performance standards are important aspects of compliance. Questions or requests regarding the OCSL can be directed to the contracting authority André Champagne.
