Interested contractors and suppliers may request to be placed on the OCSL at any time. However, DCC is requesting that interested contractors and suppliers submit a request to be placed the OCSL as soon as possible, preferably by March 4, 2026. DCC will require ten (10) business days to process an application for the OCSL. Contractors and suppliers that want to be added to the OCSL, must submit a request through this MERX posting and therein indicate their preferred official language (English or French). IMPORTANT: Contractors and suppliers that were placed on the previous OCSL (April 1, 2023, to March 31, 2026) must re-apply to be placed on the OCSL for April 1, 2026, to March 31, 2029. The language selected by the applicant for this OCSL will be the only language used for the tender documents, the contract documents and communication for all future tenders and during the execution of any resulting contract. The language selected will apply for the duration of the OCSL. Faxed, mailed, or emailed submissions will not be accepted. The OCSL will be used to tender construction services (commercial, residential, industrial, institutional, civil) with an estimated value of $10 million and below. As "Opportunities to bid" arise, DCC will invite all contractors and suppliers on the OCSL to bid on the work. Contractors and suppliers will be invited electronically through MERX and may, at the discretion of DCC, be required to attend a site meeting prior to a tender closing. Tenders will close electronically through MERX. Contractors and suppliers who apply to be placed on the OCSL will require an active MERX account to submit electronic bids. Please contact MERX for information on how to open or reactivate an account. To bid on a tender call, a bidder must be registered on the OCSL used for the tender call. If the bidder's legal name does not appear on the OCSL, DCC may consider their bid to be non-compliant. If you change your business name, it is therefore very important that you notify DCC and consider making the change to your MERX account. DCC reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to: Continue using existing source lists that may already be in place for similar or related services such as existing Quick Response Tender (QRT) source lists, Establish other source lists for specific categories of construction services which may require different pre-qualification requirements, such as Quick Response Tender (QRT) source lists. Such other source lists will not be advertised through this OCSL. Such other source lists will be advertised openly on MERX on a case-by-case basis, Verify which contractors have submitted bids under the OCSL, verify if those that did not submit bids are still interested to be on the OCSL and remove from the OCSL those contractors that are no longer interested, Require additional pre-qualification requirements for any specific tenders done through the OCSL, Elect to post any tender openly on MERX in lieu of this OCSL if DCC deems that an open tender would provide the potential for more competition, Tenders may be set aside for Indigenous businesses in accordance with the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business (PSIB). In such cases, all contractors and suppliers on the Open Construction Source List (OCSL) will receive an invitation to bid; however, the MERX advertisement will clearly state that the opportunity is reserved for Indigenous businesses under PSIB. To qualify, the Indigenous business must be registered in Indigenous Services Canada’s (ISC) Indigenous Business Directory (IBD). If you are forming a Joint Venture (JV) to bid on a contract set aside for Indigenous businesses, at least one member of the JV must be listed on the OCSL, and the Indigenous business within the JV must also be registered in ISC’s Indigenous Business Directory. Failure to meet these requirements will result in the bid being deemed non-compliant, Include a requirement for sub-contracting to Indigenous businesses that must be registered under Indigenous Services Canada’s (ISC) Indigenous Business Directory. In this case, the MERX Ad specific to the invitation will clearly identify the inclusion of an Indigenous Benefits Plan (IBP). Contractors are advised that contracts awarded by DCC include measurable performance standards and requirements as detailed in form DCL81-Performance Evaluation Guidelines which is available at https://www.dcc-cdc.gc.ca/industry/forms. A contractor that receives an unacceptable or failing score may be removed from this OCSL and receive no further invitations under the OCSL.

The process to apply for a security clearance is provided in the APNs. DCC reserves the right to reject any application that does not demonstrate, to the sole satisfaction of DCC, that the contractor or supplier has met the stated requirements.

In the context of the major investments announced by the Government and to foster a proactive partnership with industry, DCC is issuing this Advance Procurement Notice (APN) to inform contractors/consultants of upcoming contract opportunities at Northern Canada (excluding Nunavut) for Real Property Operations Group (RP OPS) and Canadian Forces Housing Agency (CFHA) base program. The purpose of this APN is to allow contractors and consultants to assess their capacity and interest in participating, and to prepare adequately for potential solicitation processes, notably by initiating any necessary steps. This is a preliminary notice regarding potential contracts, which may or may not include security requirements.

Please note that there is no guarantee that these solicitations will proceed or that security clearances will be granted within the anticipated timelines or at all as part of the sponsorship process. Description of Northern Canada (exluding Nunavut) Northern Canada (excluding Nunavut) encompasses Yukon, the Northwest Territories, and the northern regions of several provinces, characterized by vast geography, remote locations, and extreme climatic conditions. The region plays a critical role in national sovereignty, continental defence, and Arctic security. From a defence perspective, the area supports a mix of Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), Canadian Army, and joint operations, with activities closely aligned to NORAD early warning, aerospace control, and northern surveillance. Operations are conducted through a network of Forward Operating Locations (FOLs), regional headquarters, and dispersed sites, rather than large, permanently staffed fighter wings. The primary mission in Northern Canada is to enable aerospace warning and control, sovereignty patrols, rapid force projection, and support to domestic operations, including emergency response and northern community assistance. Units operating in the region typically include air operations, sustainment and logistics elements, Canadian Army presence (including Canadian Rangers), and joint task force coordination staff. Personnel levels are generally modest and highly variable, consisting of a combination of permanent staff, rotational military personnel, and civilian support, with surge capacity during exercises or operational deployments. Infrastructure across Northern Canada is functional and mission-focused, reflecting the remote environment. It typically includes airfields and runways, aircraft aprons, fuel storage, hangars, accommodation facilities, maintenance buildings, communications systems, utilities, and limited road networks. Much of the infrastructure is designed for intermittent or seasonal use and must operate reliably under harsh weather conditions and logistical constraints.
