RCMP extends Nunavut ATV tender deadline to Sept. 9 for Inuit firms
The RCMP has extended the bid deadline for all-terrain vehicles to support police operations in Nunavut from Sept. 4 to Sept. 9, 2026, at 2 p.m. MDT (4 p.m. EDT). Solicitation M5000-27-1814/A remains open only to Inuit firms and is a procurement opportunity—not a contract award. Source↗
What happened
An RCMP amendment dated Sept. 1 extends the closing date for solicitation M5000-27-1814/A to Sept. 9, 2026 at 2 p.m. MDT. The previous amendment had set a Sept. 4 deadline. Amendment 003 says all other solicitation terms and conditions remain unchanged. Source↗
Why it matters
The extension gives eligible Inuit firms five additional days to submit bids for vehicles intended for RCMP patrol, interdiction, personnel transport and search-and-rescue operations across Nunavut terrain, including frozen remote lakes and rivers. The notice says initial deliverables are required by Nov. 30, 2026. Source↗
What happens next
Bids must be emailed to the RCMP Bid Receiving Unit by Sept. 9 at 2 p.m. MDT. The CanadaBuys notice says bidders are responsible for checking the federal tendering service for further amendments. Source↗
