# Building 104 HVAC revitalization at William Head Institution

Public Services and Procurement Canada seeks an HVAC contractor to replace aged equipment at Building 104’s principal entrance at William Head Institution in Victoria, British Columbia. The official CanadaBuys notice identifies this as Phase 1, solicitation WS5914245396, an Invitation to Qualify with competitive open bidding and lowest-price selection. The stated scope includes two rooftop units and four gas-fired furnaces with AC condensing units. CanadaBuys shows the notice as open and gives a closing time of 19 October 2026 at 14:00 EDT (18:00 UTC). This differs by one hour from the immutable canonical UTC timestamp, which is retained in source_notice; the official page’s explicit EDT is used for the public deadline. The retrieved notice does not state an estimated value or detailed qualification criteria.
