AI Contract Overview
The National Research Council Canada (NRC) is seeking expressions of interest from qualified teams to deliver the Centre for Autonomous Flight Systems (CAFS) at the NRC Uplands Campus in Ottawa. This project aims to enhance the existing NRC Flight Research Lab by establishing a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to advanced research, development, integration, and testing of autonomous and optionally-piloted aircraft systems. The delivery model for this facility is a Progressive Design-Build (PDB) approach, emphasizing a collaborative process and requiring teams with demonstrated capability and capacity to work effectively within this model. This solicitation, issued as a Request for Expression of Interest, is intended to identify and shortlist experienced proponents and is not a request for pricing at this stage. Shortlisted teams will be invited to participate in a subsequent procurement phase. The deadline for submissions is June 2, 2026, and all work will take place in Canada at the NRC Uplands Campus. The primary contact for this opportunity is Roberta Ranaldi, the Contracting Authority at NRC.
