Facilitation services for the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada (IAAC) to support the Indigenous Advisory Committee (IAC).

The Impact Assessment Agency of Canada is seeking bilingual facilitation services in English and French, with a strong preference for Indigenous facilitators, to support the work of its Indigenous Advisory Committee. The contractor must possess demonstrated policy writing expertise and a deep understanding of the unique rights, interests, and circumstances of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities in Canada. The primary responsibilities include facilitating committee meetings, drafting advisory input from the committee, and finalizing this advice into formal reports for the agency’s president. The requirement is issued under the Task and Solutions Professional Services Method of Supply with a solicitation number IAAC – RFP – TSPS Indigenous Facilitation – 2026-06-26 and is limited to existing Supply Arrangement holders who have been invited to submit proposals. The estimated level of effort is 43 days, with the initial performance period running from contract award until March 31, 2027, and the possibility of three one-year option periods. All work must be performed in Canada, primarily within the National Capital Region, and contractors will only have access to publicly available information with no security clearance required. Proposals must be submitted by July 15, 2026, and solicitations were distributed directly by the contracting authority, Kimberly Martin, to qualified suppliers. Bidders may submit documentation in either official language, and inquiries must be directed exclusively to procurement-approvisionnement@iaac-aeic.gc.ca. Debriefings will be available upon request within 15 working days of award notification and may be conducted in writing, by telephone, or in person. The NAICS code for this requirement is 541930, and while the total contract value is not specified, the need is for professional services focused on culturally informed, bilingual facilitation and policy development to ensure the Indigenous Advisory Committee’s recommendations are accurately captured and presented to senior leadership.
