- Who won the last one
The last award notice from National Defence for the same commodity code went to Wesco Distribution Canada LP in Sep 2026. That contract runs to Jul 2027.
- What work like this goes for
Half of the 72 award notices for the same commodity family were between $34,302 and $286,327; the middle one was $84,264. Values as awarded, in Canadian dollars, and often including option years.
- How many bids to expect
National Defence’s competitive contracts of $25,000 or more in the same commodity family since Apr 2022 drew a median of 1 bid; 92% drew a single bid (13 contracts).
Bid counts as the department reported them to the Treasury Board. Departments count differently, so compare within one buyer, not across buyers.
- How this buyer buys
Of National Defence’s 519 contracts for electrical and lighting since Apr 2022, 5% were non-competitive and 19% were call-ups against standing offers or supply arrangements, which only firms already on those lists can win. How to get on them
- Room for smaller firms
19% of the 134 award notices for the same commodity family went to suppliers with under $1 million in federal contracts since Jan 2004.
Sources: CanadaBuys award notices since Aug 2022 (October 12, 2026); Treasury Board contracts data, bid counts from Apr 2022 on (October 13, 2026). Buyers are matched by name; Crown corporations such as Defence Construction Canada are not in the Treasury Board data.
