Defence Construction Canada is seeking contractors for an anticipated renovation contract to upgrade accommodation buildings A-147 and A-149 at CFB Borden, ON. The work is primarily focused on life‑safety improvements, building envelope upgrades, electrical and mechanical upgrades, and roofing replacements. The project has an approximate estimate of $22M and an anticipated solicitation posting in November 2026; contract award will require active security clearances, with the anticipated level being Designated Organization Screening (DOS). DCC is offering sponsorship under its Industrial Security Program to allow interested contractors to begin the security clearance process, and the project may include an Indigenous business participation component in accordance with the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business (PSIB). There is no guarantee the contract will proceed or that security clearances will be granted within the anticipated timelines.

This could be ideal for contractors experienced in large-scale accommodation or institutional building renovations who can obtain or initiate Designated Organization Screening (DOS) clearances and engage with DCC’s ISP sponsorship process. Key considerations include the $22M approximate value, the need to start security sponsorship early, potential Indigenous participation requirements, and the fact that the project and clearances are not guaranteed to proceed on the anticipated timeline.
