AI Contract Overview
Environment and Climate Change Canada is seeking a contractor to conduct an aerial photographic survey of the Southern Hudson Bay subpopulation of eastern migratory caribou during late June to early July 2026, with the goal of estimating calving ground locations and minimum animal counts to inform conservation efforts under the Species at Risk Act. The contract, awarded on a firm-fixed-price basis, runs from the date of award through September 30, 2026, with all deliverables—including preliminary and final technical plans, geo-referenced aerial photos, field data forms, and a comprehensive final report—due by August 31, 2026. Work will be performed in the caribou’s range in Ontario and across Canada, with administrative tasks completed at the contractor’s site, and all deliverables must meet EN 301 549 accessibility standards, green procurement guidelines, and be submitted electronically or on recycled paper without single-use plastics. The evaluation uses a trade-off method weighting technical merit at 70% and price at 30%, requiring a minimum of 60 out of 98 technical points for responsiveness, with scoring focused on risk management, safety protocols, data transfer methods, and especially Indigenous employment and community support, which can earn up to 20 points. Price is evaluated as the lowest acceptable bid, but the highest combined score determines award—not the lowest price or highest technical score alone. The contractor must comply with federal integrity provisions, including the Ineligibility and Suspension Policy, the Code of Conduct for Procurement, and anti-forced labor requirements, certifying that no work is performed using forced labor at any level. All intellectual property in deliverables is assigned to Canada, and the contractor must submit full insurance documentation within ten days of award. Participation in the Net-Zero Challenge is strongly encouraged to support Canada’s climate goals under the Paris Agreement. The contract emphasizes social procurement, encouraging bids from businesses owned or led by women, LGBTQ2+ individuals, persons with disabilities, and visible minorities, although formal certification is not mandatory. Indigenous participation is incentivized through evaluation points for hiring Indigenous personnel and funding community social programs. All proposals must be submitted as three PDF files—Technical, Financial, and Attestations—via email to a specified address before the deadline of May 11, 2026, with a total file size not exceeding 25 MB; fax or late submissions are not accepted.
