Research and Data Gathering for EV Charging Infrastructure

The contract seeks to conduct comprehensive data collection on electric vehicle charging infrastructure needs across Canada, focusing on identifying gaps in coverage, assessing current utilization rates, and developing a strategic plan for data sources with integrated risk mitigation strategies. The work will support informed decision-making by evaluating the adequacy and accessibility of existing infrastructure, analyzing regional disparities, and proposing actionable insights to enhance the national EV charging network. This effort is critical to aligning infrastructure development with future mobility demands and government objectives for sustainable transportation. The project is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 541611, issued by the Department of Natural Resources under the Government of Canada, with a response deadline of July 7, 2026. Although no specific location is designated for performance, the scope requires nationwide coverage, and the data gathered will inform federal policy and investment priorities. The solicitation is open for proposals through the Canada Buys portal, with no set-aside provisions indicated, and all submissions must address methodological rigor, data reliability, and proactive identification of potential risks in data acquisition and analysis.
