APN - NORAD Northern Basing Infrastructure (NNBI), NWT
Advance Procurement Notice NORAD Northern Basing Infrastructure (NNBI) Forward Operating Locations (FOL) Inuvik and Yellowknife (with Security Requirements) Purpose of this Advance Procurement Notice This is not a bid solicitation. This is an advance notice of potential contracts with anticipated security requirements, providing interested design-builders with an opportunity to begin the sponsorship request process for potentially obtaining the required security clearance(s) that are anticipated. Note that there is no guarantee that these solicitations will proceed or that any security clearance(s) will be granted under the sponsorship process in a timely fashion or otherwise. Description of the Program and Services The Department of National Defence (DND) is investing in infrastructure developments for the North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD) Modernization and Continental Defence at the FOLs in Inuvik and Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. This infrastructure investment aims to ensure that the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) have the tools they need to achieve their security and sovereignty objectives. These improvements will enable advanced aircraft operations and quick mobilization in the North for NORAD missions. The infrastructure requirements for the Inuvik and Yellowknife FOLs will include the following but are not limited to: Airfield improvements; New and/or repurposed hangars with aprons and taxiways; Ammunition compounds; Fuel facilities; Accommodations, warehousing, planning, multi-purpose facilities, and support equipment; Robust IT, Cyber, and Logistics infrastructure. Preliminary rough order of magnitude (ROM) estimates for the various facility components for each locations are as follows, subject to revision: Total hangar space, ~ 33,000 m2 Fuel storage, between 500,000 to 2,000,000 litres Office space 500 m2 Ammunition Storage 600 m2 Accommodations 4,000 m2 Fire Hall 2,000 m2 Multi-purpose facilities 9,000 m2 Indoor storage (Total), 9,000 m2 Apron 122,000 m2 Total asphalt surface 72,000 m2 The delivery method for this infrastructure will be Modified Design-Build (MDB) contracts, with one MDB contract per site and an estimated total contract value that may exceed $5B for each location. These multi-year contracts consist of the following sequential and/or concurrent phases and are not limited to: Requirements validation, concept development, market analysis and planning activities. Design Phase activities. Construction Phase activities. It is anticipated that the Request for Proposal (RFP) will include detailed evaluation criteria; however, these remain subject to change and will be finalized and fully described in the RFP documentation upon release. At a high level, it is expected that the RFP will assess proponents on demonstrated experience across a range of factors, including northern design and construction experience, experience delivering similar asset types (both within and outside of northern environments), and the integration of design and construction capabilities within a single team. Key personnel requirements will include demonstrated northern experience for certain roles. The evaluation of approach and methodology is expected to consider how proponents plan to successfully deliver projects in northern environments, including logistics, climate, and constructability considerations, as well as their approach to Indigenous participation based on principles of meaningful participation and mitigation of potential adverse effects. In addition to the technical evaluation, a formal interview process will be conducted to further assess team capability to successfully deliver the project in a northern environment. The terms and conditions of the contract will allow for self-performed work by the design-build team. The MDB solicitation for Inuvik is projected to be released in Fall 2026 and Yellowknife in Summer 2027. This is conditional on receiving approval to proceed by DND. The Government of Canada is committed to advancing reconciliation and fostering meaningful engagement with Indigenous Peoples. In support of these commitments, DND aims to create opportunities for Indigenous businesses and communities through meaningful subcontracting, employment, and training related to the proposed project. To align with these objectives, the successful proponents will be required to develop an Indigenous Benefits Plan (IBP) as part of the MDB contracts. The IBPs will outline proposed initiatives and opportunities for Indigenous participation, including subcontracting, employment, and training activities. Contract Award and Anticipated Security Requirements To be eligible for contract award, a proponent will be required to, among other things, actively hold all required security clearance(s) prior to the date of the award, as further detailed in the tender documents.

APN - RP OPS and CFHA Base Program, Northern Canada
Advance Procurement Notice Real Property Operations Group (Rp Ops) and Canadian Forces Housing Agency (CFHA) base program Northern canada (exluding Nunavut) (with and Without Security Requirements) Purpose of this Advance Procurement Notice This is not a bid solicitation nor a request for proposals. 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. The purpose of this APN is to allow interested contractors and consultants to initiate, if required, the sponsorship process to obtain the necessary clearances or security clearances (if applicable). Please note that certain projects may be reserved for Indigenous businesses in accordance with the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business (PSIB). 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. Description of the ProjectS and Services Future contracts will be subject to separate tendering or request for proposals processes and awarded through various procurement mechanisms and tools made available to DCC.
