Runway Inspection & Foreign Object Debris (FOD) Removal

The contract entails daily inspections of runways and removal of foreign object debris at northern military airfields in Inuvik, Yellowknife, and Iqaluit to maintain airfield safety and ensure operational readiness prior to flight operations. This work is critical to preventing aircraft damage and mission disruption by eliminating hazards such as loose hardware, wildlife debris, and environmental materials that can accumulate in harsh Arctic and sub-Arctic conditions. The services are required to be performed consistently each day before any flight activity commences, demanding high reliability, rapid response capability, and adaptability to extreme weather environments. The contract is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 238990, indicating it falls under other construction-related services, and is issued by the Department of National Defence on behalf of the Government of Canada. It was posted on July 8, 2026, with a response deadline of September 9, 2026. The place of performance is limited to the specified northern locations, which present unique logistical and environmental challenges, requiring contractors to demonstrate experience working in remote, cold-climate regions with limited infrastructure. All work must align with military safety and operational standards to support the ongoing mission-critical functions of these airfields.
