Tactical Vehicle Technical Training and On-Site Support

The contract seeks a subcontractor to deliver comprehensive operator and maintenance training for military personnel at Canadian Forces Base Gagetown and Canadian Forces Base Trenton, following the fielding of new tactical vehicles. Training will be conducted on-site at these locations and must ensure personnel are fully proficient in operating and maintaining the vehicles in operational environments. The work is classified under NAICS code 611512, indicating it pertains to professional and commercial training services, and is being procured by the Department of National Defence on behalf of the Government of Canada. Performance is restricted to locations in New Brunswick and Ontario, excluding the National Capital Region, ensuring focused support in key operational zones. The solicitation was posted on July 14, 2026, with responses due by August 5, 2026, allowing potential bidders a limited window to prepare and submit proposals. While the contract type is noted as a subcontract, the detailed scope implies direct engagement with military units, requiring trainers to be highly qualified, security cleared, and capable of delivering hands-on instruction under field conditions. The absence of a set-aside designation means all eligible vendors may compete, though experience in defense training and familiarity with military vehicle systems will be critical factors in evaluation. The contract aims to enable rapid operational readiness following vehicle delivery, emphasizing responsiveness, technical accuracy, and alignment with Canadian Armed Forces standards.
