Defence Construction Canada is seeking abbreviated proposals for CR26SL01, “Environmental Consultant Services in Nunavut.” The procurement is intended to establish a source list for Department of National Defence requirements rather than award a single identified project. The available notice description says the work can include contaminated-site assessments, monitoring and remediation; infrastructure-related environmental compliance advice, inspections and audits; and designated-substance and hazardous-material assessments, with archaeological assessments listed as an example specialty.

The solicitation is restricted to qualified Inuit firms that are registered and in good standing with the Inuit Firm Registry, according to the notice description. That makes it a time-limited opportunity for eligible Inuit-owned environmental and engineering consultancies to qualify for future as-and-when-required federal defence work in Nunavut. It does not commit a dollar amount, name project locations, guarantee work volume or select a supplier.

Interested eligible firms must submit by Oct. 14, 2026. CanadaBuys currently labels the notice as amended on Sept. 4; firms should review the live procurement record and its documents for the amendment details, submission requirements and any further changes before bidding. Source↗
