_________________________________________________________________ __________________ Advance Contract Award Notice 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. Definition of the Requirement The Department of National Defence (DND) has a requirement for the supply of quantity thirty-one (31) Satellite Communication Terminals (SATCOM) capable of operating in Ku-band and X-band, certified for use in Wideband Global Satellite (WGS) Constellation and designed for use in a maritime warship environment Technical Criteria for assessment of the Statement of Capabilities (Minimum Essential Requirements) Any interested supplier must demonstrate by way of a statement of capabilities that its SATCOM terminal meets the following requirements: 1) WGS Certification: The Maritime Satellite Communication Upgrade (MSCU) System shall be fully certified (documented proof of Phase III WGS testing completed) for operation with the United States Department of Defence (US DoD) WGS system in accordance with MIL STD 188-164B WGS Certification Standard. 2) Skynet Certification: The MSCU System shall be certified for operation with the Skynet system in accordance with the Paradigm Terminal Certification standard TX-MA-00136-5-PDGM. 3) System Configurability. The MSCU System shall be a marine dual frequency band SATCOM system that can be readily configured for single band operation on both (but not simultaneously) the Ku band and X band. This is a minimum system requirement and does not necessarily exclude tri-band (three frequency band) systems. 4) Data Rate. The MSCU System shall be capable of providing a sustained minimum data rate of 10Mbps. 5) Uplink Power Control. The MSCU uplink power shall be configurable both manually and automatically. 6) Coverage Zones. The MSCU System shall be capable of defining and storing a minimum of 2 antenna blockage profiles based on the ship's superstructure and fitted equipment that block the antenna's line of sight to the satellite, or where personnel or hazardous material (HAZMAT) may be subjected to radiated RF energy. 7) Maritime Tracking and Acquisition. The MSCU System shall be able to acquire and continuously track geostationary and non-geostationary satellites at any elevation angle between 10° and 90° (i.e., from 10 degrees above the horizon to the zenith) in any angle of azimuth (i.e. unrestricted 360° rotation). 8) Maritime Tracking and Acquisition. The MSCU System shall be able to continuously track and maintain connectivity with geostationary and non-geostationary satellites while being subjected to ship motion of up to 10° pitch and 30° roll on either side of the vertical as experienced in Sea State 6 per STANAG 4194. 9) System Control and Monitoring. The MSCU System shall include a PC-based operator interface (via Ethernet LAN) for all control and monitoring functions. 10) Weight and Dimensions. a) The MSCU System above deck equipment Antenna assembly shall not exceed 300 kilograms. b) The MSCU System's antenna diameter shall not be any less than 1.2 meters. c) The MSCU System's above deck equipment radome diameter shall not exceed 2.0 meters. 11) a) The MSCU System above deck equipment shall not require external cooling. b) The above deck equipment shall be capable of continuous operation with ambient temp between -25 & +48 C, 0-100% RH. c) The below deck equipment shall be capable of continuous operation with ambient temp between +10 & +50 C, 0-95% RH. d) The above deck equipment shall meet the shock and air blast requirements of CFTO D-03-003-007/SF-000 or equivalent. e) The above and below deck equipment shall meet MIL-STD 461F requirements for Shipboard environment. f) The above and below deck equipment shall meet the vibration requirements of MIL-Std-167 (SHIPS). Note: Items # 1 and 2 require unique written compliance letters from the certifying authorities confirming qualification for the specified terminal to operate on these satellite constellations. Note: Data published in technical documents (ie. Manuals, drawings, spec sheets, etc.) are acceptable methods for providing proof for items # 3 to 11. Applicability of the trade agreement(s) to the procurement This procurement is subject to the following trade agreement(s): - Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT) Justification for the Pre-Identified Supplier As part of the Maritime Satellite Communications Upgrade (MSCU) project there is a stated mandatory requirement for United States Department of Defense (US DoD) Wideband Global Satellite (WGS) system certification for any vendor's equipment at time of bid. As such, Harris Corporation of Melbourne, Florida, USA is the only known vendor in the market who has a fully WGS certified SATCOM solution that meets all of the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN)'s requirements stated above. The factors that have driven this mandatory requirement include the urgent and substantial satellite communications (SATCOM) capability deficiency in Her Majesty's Canadian Ships, the risky certification process that is beyond the control of DND/suppliers, and its associated timelines, and cost impacts to the Government of Canada and the (RCN). Early industry engagement through a Price and Availability (P&A) issued in 2012 and a Letter of Interest (LOI) issued in 2015 has further substantiated the findings that only Harris Corporation meets the full requirement.
