TEST RECEIVER/SPECTRUM ANALYZER PROCUREMENT
W8486-151902/A
1. Advance Contact Award Notice (ACAN) Explanation
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 Requirement
The Department of National Defence has a requirement to purchase
four (4) Test Receivers/Spectrum Analyzers for delivery DDP
Destination, Gatineau Quebec, Canada. Test Receivers are
commercial receivers that are conceived, designed or
manufactured to support TEMPEST testing. They should also
support other Emission Security applications. Some receivers
designed for Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) /
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) testing may be suitable for
use as TEMPEST Test Receivers, if they meet the technical
specificatons below at para 3. General purpose test receivers
lack the frequency range, wide bandwidth, receiver sensitivity,
channel selectivity or dynamic range required to be used as a
test receiver for TEMPEST purposes.
3. Minimum Essential Requirements:
Any interested supplier must demonstrate by way of statement of
capabilities that it meets the following minimum requirements:
Each Test Receiver must be a dual-instrument that provides two
modes of operation, in a single box format. The first mode must
be a receiver optimized for TEMPEST testing and other Emission
Security applications and the other mode must be a Spectrum
Analyzer. Each mode must provide full functionality and the
equipment must be capable of switching from one mode to the
other without having to reboot the equipment
