AECOM selected for the top-ranked position on Defence Construction Canada’s National Architecture & Engineering Source List
Press Release
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AECOM (NYSE:ACM), the trusted global infrastructure leader, today announced it has been awarded the top position on Defence Construction Canada’s (DCC) National Architecture & Engineering (A&E) Source List. This multi-year program, with a total potential value of up to $270 million CAD, will support the Department of National Defence (DND) in delivering critical infrastructure across Canada.
As the largest Source List ever issued by DCC in total maximum estimated value, this program represents a major investment in Canada’s defense infrastructure. The Source List selection process is specifically designed to provide DCC with the best value partners, and AECOM’s top position reflects the Company’s superior value across technical merit, cost, and specialized defense experience. DCC often calls upon the top ranked firm to deliver projects of exceptional technical complexity or compressed delivery timelines.
“Our top national ranking on the Source List reflects AECOM’s 15-year legacy of delivering quality, mission-aligned solutions for Defence Construction Canada and the Department of National Defence,” said Bane Gaiser, chief executive of AECOM’s global Buildings + Places business. “Through years of mutual trust and integrated partnership, AECOM has developed deep institutional knowledge of Canada’s most critical defense assets, and we are proud to once again provide DND with leading expertise in vertical defense infrastructure, operational readiness, and sustainability.”
The contract comprises a three-year agreement, with two additional one-year period options. AECOM will provide multidisciplinary architecture and engineering services spanning the full spectrum of planning, design, and construction-phase support. Work under the program will encompass the delivery of hangars and aircraft maintenance buildings, vehicle maintenance bays, high‑security office complexes, accommodations, mess facilities, recreational amenities, and training facilities. AECOM will also provide strategic planning services, assisting DCC with long-term recapitalization plans and asset portfolio management.
“Across Canada, our local teams take deep pride in supporting the people and infrastructure that safeguard the nation,” said Richard Barrett, chief executive of AECOM’s Canada region. “As we help DND prepare for future challenges, we will leverage our full architecture and engineering expertise, along with advanced energy modelling, asset management, and innovative design solutions, to help deliver facilities that perform, endure, and meet the highest standards of safety and technical excellence.”
Drawing on decades of experience delivering complex defense programs, AECOM integrates sustainable design, advanced energy modelling, greenhouse gas analysis, and life‑cycle asset planning to support resilient, efficient facilities built for long‑term operational readiness. With delivery capabilities in both of Canada’s official languages and a seasoned leadership team, the Company is uniquely positioned to execute on the contract’s nationwide mandate while delivering with consistency, quality, and rigorous oversight that Canada’s defence network requires.
