Workforce and Infrastructure Planning

The contract seeks the development of comprehensive workforce planning models and infrastructure requirements to support the execution of a submarine program under the Government of Canada’s Department of National Defence. This includes designing training pipelines to ensure skilled personnel are available at all stages of the program, identifying facility needs such as maintenance, testing, and operational bases, and formulating long-term staffing strategies to sustain workforce capacity over the program’s lifecycle. The effort will require analysis of current and future workforce demands, alignment with national defense objectives, and integration of technical, logistical, and human capital considerations to ensure readiness and operational continuity. The contract is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 541620, indicating it involves management, scientific, and technical consulting services related to organizational planning and operational support. The solicitation was posted on June 26, 2026, with a response deadline of July 12, 2026, and performance is expected to occur across Canada. Although no specific point of contact or set-aside provisions are listed, the contracting authority is clearly the Government of Canada, and the scope demands expertise in defense systems planning, workforce analytics, and infrastructure scalability to meet the unique demands of submarine operations. Success will depend on delivering actionable, data-driven models that enable informed decision-making throughout the program’s duration.
