Environmental Data Collection and Monitoring

The contract involves the collection of comprehensive environmental data from water columns and seabed environments to support baseline assessments and ensure regulatory compliance for the Department of National Defence. Activities include gathering sediment samples along with measurements of temperature and salinity during seabed surveys, specifically in the Halifax region. This work is critical for understanding marine environmental conditions and fulfilling obligations under Canadian environmental regulations related to defence operations. The scope is limited to subcontracting, with the work directly supporting the Government of Canada’s environmental monitoring responsibilities under NAICS code 541620, which pertains to environmental consulting services. All data collected will be used to inform decision-making and maintain compliance with environmental protection standards. The solicitation was posted on August 5, 2026, with a response deadline of August 31, 2026. Performance is required to take place in Halifax, with no alternative locations specified. The contract is issued under the federal procurement system, and while no set-aside provisions are in place, bidders must be prepared to deliver high-quality, scientifically rigorous data within the designated timeframe. The absence of a designated point of contact suggests that inquiries should be submitted through the official tender portal. Successful bidders will be expected to demonstrate technical capability in marine environmental sampling, data accuracy, and adherence to governmental protocols for environmental documentation.
