Drone Services for Wildfire Management

The Government of the Northwest Territories, through its Procurement Shared Services on behalf of the Department of Environment and Climate Change, is seeking proposals to establish non-exclusive standing offer agreements for drone services to support wildfire management operations across the territory. This solicitation, identified as EV9103, aims to secure qualified proponents capable of providing timely, safe, and effective drone operations including aerial surveillance, mapping, thermal imaging, and data collection to enhance wildfire detection, monitoring, and response efforts in remote and challenging environments. The services are critical for protecting communities, natural resources, and infrastructure by enabling rapid situational awareness and informed decision-making during wildfire events. Proposals must be submitted by July 6, 2026, at 5:00 PM MT, and all relevant documents, including any addenda, are available through the official government procurement portal. The contract is open to all eligible providers without set-aside restrictions and will service operations across the Northwest Territories. Questions and communications should be directed to the designated Point of Contact, the Contract Administrator, via email at psstendersfortsmith@gov.nt.ca or by phone at 867-872-0939. Successful proposers will be placed on a standing offer list, allowing the government to issue task orders as needed throughout the agreement period without requiring a new competitive process for each deployment.
