It is required to operate reliably under critical conditions, ensuring rapid dissemination of voice alerts during security incidents, evacuations, or other urgent scenarios without disruption. The work is scoped for performance in Kingston, with the system expected to integrate seamlessly with current security protocols while maintaining autonomy as a dedicated notification layer. The contract is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 238210, indicating construction-related services, and is issued by the Department of National Defence under the Government of Canada. Interested parties must submit responses by June 19, 2026, with the solicitation posted on May 11, 2026, and no set-aside provisions are specified. The system’s design, installation, and configuration must meet stringent operational and security standards to support federal defense requirements.
