The Defence Investment Agency, on behalf of the Department of National Defence, invites Canadian suppliers to qualify for Round 2 of the Defence Drone Initiative Marketplace supply arrangement. Supporting documents and bids must be submitted by November 6, 2026, at 14:00 EST; later bids will be considered in future qualification rounds.

This open Commercial Solutions Opening is a procurement solicitation, not a grant program, and it may result in contracts or other transaction agreements. It seeks innovative commercial capabilities across unmanned aircraft systems, counter-UAS, sensors, communications, payloads, launched effects, drone production, and other listed areas, using Innovative Warfighter Solutions or Call for Solutions response methods. Respondents must have a UEI, maintain active SAM registration, register in the prescribed invoicing system, meet responsibility requirements, and disclose potential organizational conflicts of interest.
The U.S. Army Contracting Command – Redstone Arsenal is issuing a Call for Solutions to competitively acquire and onboard innovative commercial Group 3 Uncrewed Aircraft Systems onto the Drone Marketplace. The call is intended to establish a pool of qualified vendors and may result in one or more firm-fixed-price Basic Ordering Agreements, but it does not guarantee future orders or funding. The onboarding call is designed to remain open and enduring for up to five years, subject to the stated response deadline and the Government’s right to alter or cancel it.
The overarching objective is for the contractor to provide an innovative and complete Group 3 UAS. The contractor shall propose their standard commercial offerings that best meet the following objectives. System Attributes: Vendors must provide information addressing each attribute as part of the Initial Assessment Packet (IAP) and the Verification Activities Questionnaire (VAQ) process. This information populates the system's detailed product profile on the UAS Marketplace storefront, providing the basis for Government end-users to make a competitive selection of the UAS that best meets their needs. Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA): Vendors shall articulate their MOSA strategy. This will include detailing how interoperability is achieved for major system components, with a particular focus on payloads and radios. The vendor will specify what data will be provided to the Government above and beyond typical commercial procurement to support integration and future upgrades. See attached file.
