ADVANCE PROCUREMENT NOTICE BASE PROGRAM - CFB BAGOTVILLE
Solicitation # PROG2627BA
Defence Construction Canada is issuing an Advance Procurement Notice for upcoming contract opportunities at Canadian Forces Base Bagotville in Quebec, targeting contractors and consultants for real property operations and housing services under the base program. This notice is not a solicitation but a preliminary alert to help industry partners evaluate their readiness, assess capacity, and begin the security clearance sponsorship process if needed. The base, home to 3 Wing and a key node for Royal Canadian Air Force operations, includes main facilities and several satellite sites across the Saguenay region, requiring ongoing maintenance, construction, and professional services. Anticipated contracts may cover construction, environmental assessments, engineering, and facility support, with procurement pathways including open competitive tenders on MERX and CanadaBuys, Open Construction Source Lists, Standing Offers, and Source Lists for professional services. Some projects may be restricted to Indigenous businesses under the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business, and all contracts will require compliance with applicable trade agreements and procurement thresholds. Contractors seeking to participate must be prepared to obtain appropriate security clearances prior to contract award, with the required clearance level specified per project in the attached schedule. Defence Construction Canada offers voluntary sponsorship through its Industrial Security Program to assist eligible firms in initiating the clearance process, but participation is not guaranteed and does not ensure approval. Interested parties must submit a sponsorship request through DCC’s website, quoting the APN number and contract references, and comply fully with both DCC’s administrative requirements and Public Services and Procurement Canada’s security clearance protocols. All applicants bear full responsibility for the completeness, accuracy, and timeliness of their applications and assume all associated risks and costs, with no assurance from DCC regarding the outcome of clearance processing. The notice remains open for applications until March 31, 2027, and information on prospective projects, application procedures, and eligibility criteria can be accessed through MERX and CanadaBuys, where tender documents will be published upon formal solicitation. Any inquiries regarding the sponsorship process should be directed to DCC’s Industrial Security Program, while questions about the APN itself should be addressed to the designated contracting authority.

ADVANCE PROCUREMENT NOTICE BASE PROGRAM - QUEBEC REGION
Solicitation # PROG2627QU
Defence Construction Canada is issuing an advance procurement notice for upcoming real property operations contracts in the Quebec region, covering key sites including Bagotville, Montréal, St-Jean, and Valcartier, along with satellite locations. This notice is not a solicitation but a strategic preview to allow contractors and consultants to evaluate their readiness, initiate security clearance sponsorship if needed, and prepare for future competitive tendering processes scheduled to be advertised on MERX and CanadaBuys. Projects may require various procurement tools such as open competitive tenders, source lists for professional services, or standing offer agreements, with some initiatives potentially reserved for Indigenous businesses under the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business. Anticipated contracts may involve construction, maintenance, or support services, and their scope will be defined in subsequent solicitations subject to final approval by Defense Canada. Contractors intending to respond to future bids must be prepared to obtain the required security clearances prior to award, with clearance levels specified in the accompanying project list. DCC offers discretionary sponsorship under its Industrial Security Program to assist bidders lacking active clearances by facilitating early application through its process, though no guarantee of approval is provided. Applicants must submit sponsorship requests referencing the APN number, specific contract identifiers, and desired clearance level via DCC’s website, after which DCC may forward validated packages to Public Services and Procurement Canada’s Contract Security Program for processing. All applicants bear full responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, and timing of their submissions, as well as any associated fees or delays, and accept that clearance issuance is solely at the discretion of PSPC and subject to its terms. Questions on sponsorship should be directed to DCC’s ISP team, while general inquiries regarding the notice are to be addressed to the designated contracting authority. All future bidding documents will be available through MERX, with fees applicable as per their pricing structure, and no obligation is incurred by DCC to proceed with any solicitation or guarantee award outcomes.
