NPP TBIPS W6369-26-P5QJ

This contract mandates the provision of specialized IT cyber consulting services to support the DIMEI 3 CSTE lab and associated engineering and exercise capabilities within classified environments in the National Capital Region, with potential expansion to other locations as needed. The two-year contract, set to commence in September 2026 following the conclusion of the incumbent agreement, requires personnel with Top Secret SIGINT, NATO Secret, Secret, and Unclassified clearances to perform highly technical work in secure facilities. The procurement operates under the TBIPS Tier 2 framework administered by Public Services and Procurement Canada, emphasizing supplier capability over fixed personnel commitments at bid time, though resource resumes and corporate compliance documentation must be submitted for post-award evaluation. The solicitation allows for evaluation of key personnel only after contract award, aligning with TBIPS guidance to maintain competitive fairness while ensuring specialized skills are available upon commencement. The contract’s performance location is strictly confined to the National Capital Region, primarily within classified lab settings, and adherence to Corporate Mandatory Technical Criteria (CM1), resource disclosure forms, and financial reporting annexes is mandatory. While no formal contract value is specified, the prior incumbent contract under the same program delivered approximately $20.3 million CAD over four years, suggesting a comparable scale. Proposals must be submitted electronically by May 22, 2026, and include specific attachments detailing resumes, client references, and compliance with security clearance requirements. The Crown retains complete authority over inspection, acceptance, and evaluation, with no FOB terms, packaging specifications, or invoicing systems detailed. Contract administration details including payment offices, COR/COTR contacts, or accounting codes are not provided, and no formal options or clause structures based on FAR are included, leaving the framework defined primarily by TBIPS procedures, administrative amendments, and the need for rigorous post-award resource validation.
