Description

Advance Procurement Notice

CONSTRUCT SUPPLY BUILDING
17 WING DUNDURN, SASKATCHEWAN
(with Security Requirements)

Purpose of this Advance Procurement Notice
This is not a bid solicitation nor a request for proposals.

This is an advance notice for a potential contract with anticipated security requirements to provide interested contractors an opportunity to begin the sponsorship process for obtaining (if required) the anticipated security clearance(s). Note that there is no guarantee that this solicitation will proceed or that any security clearance(s) will be granted under the sponsorship process in a timely fashion or otherwise.

Description of the Project
The project consists of constructing a new 1177 m² building complete with all required foundations, framing, roofing, building envelope, architectural finishes, and electrical systems.

The new building will combine the existing Supply services, currently located in multiple locations, into one location. This will allow 17 Wing Dundurn to enhance operational efficiency, optimize their limited workforce and enhance customer service in a single purpose-built facility. The new building will include a customer service area, office area, storage area, open work area and secured weapons storage.

It is anticipated that this solicitation will be initiated in January 2026. This is conditional on receiving approval to proceed by the Department of National Defence (DND).

The estimated Construction cost is in the order of $12,000,000.

Contract Award and Anticipated Security Requirements
To be eligible for contract award, a bidder will be required to, among other things, actively hold or obtain all required security clearance(s) prior to the date of the award, as further detailed in the solicitation documents.

The anticipated security clearance level for this contract is Designated Organization Screening (DOS).

Industrial Security Program Sponsorship
Defence Construction Canada (DCC) is providing contractors early access to the security clearance application process through sponsorship under its Industrial Security Program (ISP). Accordingly, contractors that intend to submit a proposal or a bid on one or more of these projects and that do not actively hold the above identified security clearance(s) should begin forthwith the security clearance application process by applying through DCC’s ISP.

Under this program, DCC may, at its entire discretion, provide preliminary assistance to all the potential bidders with their respective security clearance sponsorship process.

To begin the security clearance sponsorship process, please submit a sponsorship request application to DCC by following the steps identified on DCC’s website at: https://www.dcc-cdc.gc.ca/industry/security-requirements.

In their sponsorship request application to DCC, contractors are asked to quote the following information, among other things:

Advance Procurement Notice (APN) number (Project number on the MERX notice);
Contract number 85251; and
Level of clearance requested to be sponsored for.

Sponsorship Process
Upon receipt, DCC will review the sponsorship request application and will communicate directly with the contractors to provide assistance for the completion of the sponsorship request packages.

Once DCC has determined, at its entire discretion, that a contractor:

has started the sponsorship process prior to the solicitation (Contract number(s) listed on their request for sponsorship) being advertised on MERX,
has met all the material requirements of the sponsorship request package, and
has submitted a proposal or a bid

DCC will send the documents to the Public Services and Procurement Canada’s (PSPC) Contract Security Program (CSP).

Following receipt of the sponsorship request package, the CSP will communicate directly with the bidder regarding any further steps or actions to be undertaken or the status of the sponsorship request package processing. At such time, the bidder will need to promptly cooperate with CSP to ensure that the process is completed as soon as possible.
