Defence Construction Canada (DCC) is inviting contractors and suppliers to apply to be placed on an Open Construction Source List (OCSL) for commercial, residential, industrial, institutional, and civil work required by the Department of National Defence in the National Capital Region (Ottawa/Gatineau) for Fiscal Year(s) 2023-2024 (April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024), 2024-2025 (April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025) and 2025-2026 (April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026) (three fiscal years). Interested contractors and suppliers may request to be placed on the OCSL at any time. However, DCC is requesting that interested contractors and suppliers submit a request to be placed the OCSL as soon as possible, preferably by January 30, 2023. DCC will require ten (10) business days to process an application for the OCSL. Faxed, mailed, or emailed submissions will not be accepted. The OCSL will be used to tender construction services (commercial, residential, industrial, institutional, civil) with an estimated value of $10 million and below. As "Opportunities to bid" arise, DCC will invite all contractors and suppliers on the OCSL to bid on the work. Contractors and suppliers are advised that tenders and contracts under this OCSL may contain organization and personnel security requirements. Typically, the organization security requirement will be Designated Organization Screening (DOS) and reliability status for personnel. However more stringent requirement may apply such as Facility Security Clearance (FSC) at the level of SECRET with approved Document Safeguarding (DSC) with secret clearance for personnel. In order to be eligible for contract award, a contractor will be required to, among other things, actively hold all required security clearance(s) at the time of closing, as further detailed in the solicitation/tender documents. DCC may publish quarterly an Advance Procurement Notice (APN) identifying potential tenders with anticipated security requirements to provide interested contractors an opportunity to begin the sponsorship request process for potentially obtaining the required security clearance(s) that are anticipated. The process to apply for a security clearance will be provided in the APNs. DCC reserves the right to reject any application that does not demonstrate, to the sole satisfaction of DCC, that the contractor or supplier has met the stated requirements. DCC also reserves the right to request clarifications and/or confirmations from any or all firms regarding any aspect of their submission information. A written response to each such communication is required from the firm. By submitting a response to this invitation, contractors and suppliers are providing their consent, pursuant to section 30 of the Defence Production Act, for DCC to publicly disclose, after closing, their legal name, address and whether they have been included on the OCSL. The OCSL may be used for procurements covered by trade agreements to which Canada is a party.
