Data Analysis, QA/QC, and Reporting

The contract requires the analysis of aerial imagery and field-collected data to produce accurate caribou population estimates and detailed maps of calving grounds, along with comprehensive final reports supported by full quality assurance and quality control documentation. All deliverables must be digital, accessible, and meet rigorous standards for scientific integrity and data transparency, ensuring that the results are usable by stakeholders and regulatory bodies. The work is focused on geographic areas within Ontario, excluding the National Capital Region, and must be executed in alignment with government protocols for environmental monitoring and wildlife management. This is a subcontract opportunity issued by the Government of Canada through the Department of the Environment, with a NAICS code of 541611 for scientific consulting services. Proposals are due by May 11, 2026, and the work must be completed in accordance with federal requirements for environmental data collection and reporting. Although no set-aside type or point of contact is specified, the effort supports Canada’s broader conservation goals for caribou populations, and successful bidders will be expected to deliver scientifically valid, auditable outcomes that contribute directly to policy and resource management decisions.
