The Department of National Defence (DND) has a requirement for the provision of services as specified under "Background" below.
Background
The ground segment consists of satellite ground terminals or land earth stations, known in the COSPAS-SARSAT (C/S) context as Local User Terminals (LUTs), which track the Medium Earth Orbit Search And Rescue (MEOSAR) satellites, and receive and process the transmissions of the distress radio beacons as relayed by those satellites. The LUTs will be integrated into the existing Canadian Mission Control Centre (CMCC).
To determine the requirements and future capabilities of these LUTs needed to fulfill the MEOSAR project objectives, a C/S Demonstration and Evaluation (D&E) phase of testing will take place concurrently with the Options Analysis (OA) Phase of the MEOSAR project. To this end, a D&E test bed already established at the Communications Research Centre (CRC) Canada needs to be upgraded to meet the OA objectives and allow Canada to take part in the C/S D&E testing. Note that this test bed may also be used in subsequent phases of the MEOSAR project for the purposes of testing and troubleshooting; namely, in the Definition and the Implementation phases.
To meet the above requirement, four (4) new Antennas with receiving and down converting capabilities are needed to track the current MEOSAR satellites that will be used in the D&E phase of testing. These antennas will be installed at CRC or other nearby locations within the National Capital Region (NCR) at the discretion of the Department of National Defence (DND).
The method of selection will be based on LOWEST EVALUATED PRICE.

Technical and Management Bid
- Antennas must have capability to receive both L-band (1544-1555 MHz) and S-band (2226-2227 MHz) signals from both experimental and operational MEO SAR repeaters, and track MEO SAR repeaters. - Antennas must have wide enough filtering to be able to receive signals anywhere within the L and S band ranges specified above. - Antenna Gain over Temperature (G/T) specification must be at least 10dB/K at S-band, and 7.5dB/K at L-band or better. - Antenna reflector size must be between 2.3 and 2.5 metres. - Operational ambient temperature range of the antenna system must be: -35 ºC to +50 ºC. - Antennas must be able to operate in sustained winds of up to 50km/h and gusts up to 85km/h.
The Contractor must provide S-L band antennas with the whole assembly pressurized to reduce maintenance cost and increase reliability in harsh climate operation.
The Contractor must have at least 5 years experience in designing, manufacturing, and testing Radio Frequency (RF) antenna and associated hardware within the last 20 years.
The Contractor must have at least 5 years experience in providing SARSAT antenna and all associated equipment within the last 20 years.
