Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC), also known as, Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC), is issuing a Notice of Proposed Procurement on behalf of the Department of National Defence (DND) to seek Industry feedback on proven solutions (e.g., Commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) applications already in use for similar purposes) which could support Canada in satisfying the requirements of a Search and Rescue (SAR) Mission coordination and logging solution.
The legacy command and control and logging software used to coordinate the response to SAR incidents is obsolete and no longer supportable. It must be replaced with a modernized system to avoid lapses in Canada’s ability to provide critical lifesaving SAR services.
The users of the SAR Mission Coordination application will primarily be: • SAR mission coordinators: Up to eight users located at each of five Rescue Coordination Centres across Canada: Trenton, ON; Victoria, BC; Halifax, NS; Quebec City, QC; and St. John’s, NL. Note that these centres have alternate sites from which users could operate instead; • SAR satellite system support: Up to five users located at the Canadian Mission Control Centre in Trenton, ON; • Canadian Coast Guard College: Up to 25 users on a sporadic basis used to train new SMCs; • In-Service Support and administration: Up to ten users at up to two locations (DND and Canadian Coast Guard) conducting long-term in-service support, including application administration, monitoring, and developing reports; • Ad-hoc external stakeholders: As needed, external stakeholders outside of those listed above who may need occasional access to individual cases, for monitoring, and/or reporting purposes.
Canada desires for the solution to allow multiple SMCs from a centre to each work on multiple cases simultaneously within their centre and access other rescue centre’s cases as well. Interaction between centres is normally carried out over a common Search and Rescue Network infrastructure.
