About

Defence Construction Canada is notifying contractors and consultants of upcoming 2026/2027 base program contract opportunities at CFB Esquimalt, British Columbia for the Real Property Operations Group and the Canadian Forces Housing Agency. This Advance Procurement Notice (not a solicitation) outlines anticipated projects that may be procured via open competitive tenders on MERX and CanadaBuys, the Open Construction Source List (OCSL PR26SLPE), Quick Response Tender source lists (ES23SL01 and ES25SLCC), professional source lists, standing offers/agreements and other DCC procurement mechanisms; some projects may include security requirements and certain projects may be reserved for Indigenous businesses under the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business. Interested firms are encouraged to assess capacity, note that a MERX account is required to apply to the OCSL, and may begin the Industrial Security Program sponsorship process for any required clearances via DCC (DCC assistance is discretionary and does not guarantee a security clearance); the full list of anticipated projects and dates is available in the MERX document and contact details for DCC and ISP sponsorship are provided in the APN.

Insight

This notice is relevant to construction and civil contractors, general contractors, A&E and environmental consultants, and firms supporting naval base infrastructure (including Indigenous businesses). Key considerations are potential security clearance requirements and the need to begin DCC’s ISP sponsorship early (DCC sponsorship and CSP clearance are not guaranteed), the requirement of a MERX account for OCSL applications, and that the APN is preliminary with no certainty that solicitations will proceed.
