Industrial Hygiene and Workplace Health Hazard Assessment Services

The Department of National Defence is seeking qualified vendors through a Standing Offer to provide nationwide industrial hygiene and workplace health hazard assessment services in support of the Canadian Armed Forces and civilian personnel across all provinces and territories. The contract, solicited under W6369-26-A063, requires contractors to conduct on-site evaluations of physical, chemical, and biological occupational hazards at military bases, wings, and detachments, excluding safety, radiation, and ergonomic hazards unless explicitly requested in a call-up. Work is performed on an as-needed basis through individual call-ups issued under the Standing Offer, which has a potential term of up to three years with annual increments. Contractors must submit detailed Work Plans for each task, followed by comprehensive assessment reports, site maps, noise contour maps, and knowledge transfer documentation—all adhering to approved templates, accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1 Level AA), and federal regulations including the Canada Labour Code and Canada Occupational Health and Safety Regulations. Personnel assigned to the work must hold recognized certifications such as CIH or ROH and be fully vetted for the specific security clearance level required by each call-up, which may range from RELIABILITY STATUS to TOP SECRET or NATO classifications. The contract operates under a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) selection methodology, where technical compliance is evaluated first on a pass/fail basis, and award is made to the most economically advantageous offer meeting mandatory requirements. Pricing is structured as daily rates for four categories of personnel: Project Director ($1,000/day), Certified Industrial Hygienist ($900/day), Occupational Hygiene Consultant ($750/day), and Administrative Support ($500/day), with no fixed contract value specified. All deliverables must be provided in English or French, and contractors must comply with strict confidentiality, data protection, and intellectual property marking requirements. Security requirements are activated only with the issuance of a call-up, and contractors are responsible for ensuring all personnel—including subcontractors—meet clearance, certification, and conduct standards. Proposals must include signed certifications regarding eligibility, integrity, and compliance with the Federal Contractors Program for Employment Equity, along with detailed CVs and security documentation for proposed staff. Submissions are due electronically through CPC Connect by August 6, 2026, with no page limits but a requirement for conciseness and adherence to evaluation criteria. Inspection and acceptance occur at the worksite or delivery point and remains the Government’s responsibility, without relieving the contractor of liability for non-conforming work.
