INDUSTRY INVOLMENT IN THE CANADIAN SPACE AGENCY SATELLITE OPERATIONS

Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC), (also referred to as ‘’Public Services and Procurement Canada’’ (PSPC)), is releasing this Request for Information (RFI) on behalf of the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) to consult with all interested parties on possible scenarios for the involvement of industry in the CSA Satellite Operations Centre. The prime objective of this RFI is to seek information and industry feedback that will assist the Government of Canada (GC) in identifying effective business models to engage industry in supporting CSA’s satellite operations, while providing opportunities for possible industry use of government installations excess capacity, if any. Applicability of trade agreements to any future steps of an eventual procurement process will be evaluated at the appropriate time.
