F7049-260245 CCGS Dumit Alongside VLE RFI

The Government of Canada, through Public Works and Government Services Canada, is seeking industry input on capacity and interest to perform alongside work on the CCGS Dumit at the Canadian Coast Guard base in Hay River, Northwest Territories, during the period from October 2026 to May 2027. This Request for Information is not a solicitation or contract opportunity but is intended to gather detailed data on contractor availability, infrastructure capabilities, and personnel readiness to support strategic planning and determine future contracting approaches for the Alongside VLE activities. Respondents are expected to provide comprehensive information on their ability to meet operational needs, including staffing, equipment, and logistical support, to help the government evaluate potential vendor pools and service delivery models. The RFI, identified as F7049-260245 with solicitation number WS5784626850, was posted on July 10, 2026, with a response deadline of July 27, 2026. While the place of performance is listed as British Columbia, the actual work will take place in Hay River, NWT, and respondents must clarify their capacity to operate in this remote northern location. The point of contact for inquiries is Thomas Leboeuf, Contracting Authority, and all submissions must be directed through the CanadaBuys platform. Participation in this RFI does not obligate the government to award any future contract, and no financial commitment or procurement action is implied by this request.
