ADVANCE CONTRACT AWARD NOTICE (ACAN) Nature of Requirement: ACAN FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES CANADA (NRCan) - Entity-wide Imagery Subscription Services to access MAXAR technologies SecureWatch Satellite Imagery Data Catalogue
Delivery Date Required: March 30, 2022
1. Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN) An ACAN is a public notice indicating to the supplier community that a department or agency intends to award a contract for goods, services or construction to a pre-identified supplier, thereby allowing other suppliers to signal their interest in bidding, by submitting a statement of capabilities. If no supplier submits a statement of capabilities that meets the requirements set out in the ACAN, on or before the closing date stated in the ACAN, the contracting officer may then proceed with the award to the pre-identified supplier.
2. Definition of the requirement You are hereby notified that on behalf of the Department of Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) intends to enter into a sole source contract with MAXAR INTELLIGENCE INC., located at 1300 W 120th Avenue Westminster, Colorado, for the purchase of an Entity-wide Imagery Subscription Services of SecureWatch Satellite Imagery to access a commercial (?off the shelf?) high-resolution optical web-based satellite imagery data products owned by MAXAR technologies. The estimated value of the contract is $7,630,200.00 CAD including options, before applicable taxes for the purchase of an Entity-wide Imagery Subscription Services of SecureWatch Satellite Imagery. Over the last several years, a collection of National Master Standing Offers (NMSOs) has been established to facilitate the licensing of satellite imagery to the Government of Canada (GoC). The multiple National Master Standing Offers (NMSOs) for Commercial Satellite Imagery Products or Data (E60SQ-120001/H) (https://buyandsell.gc.ca/procurement-data/tender-notice/PW-19-00896853) is still active. These NMSOs have been used to acquire satellite imagery with a significant coverage of Canada’s landmass; however these NMSOs currently do not provide continuous and direct access to high volume of imagery data. High-resolution optical earth observation data constitute a vital component of the national geospatial infrastructure, providing well-established, direct benefits to society and the economy. Sat Imagery is the critical source data for large-scale mapping as it is used to locate key land surface features (urban areas, transport/energy networks, lakes and rivers, buildings) that gives context to other geo-located information. The estimated project is for a period of one year with two optional additional periods of one year each. To support their requirement, NRCan will require Web Support Services, Technical Support Services as well as supporting documentation. The Entity-wide Imagery Subscription Services will provide up-to-date and accurate imagery that will lead to a vast array of applications aligned with Government’s priorities, including flood mapping, renewable energy and adaption to climate change.
