Trade Agreement: NAFTA/AIT/Canada FTAs with Peru/Colombia/Panama
Tendering Procedures: All interested suppliers may submit a bid
Attachment: None
Competitive Procurement Strategy: Lowest/Lower Bid
Comprehensive Land Claim Agreement: No
Nature of Requirements:
Requirement: To supply the following items (quantity of 4 on
each item) (Substitute products will not be considered):
1 - DuraMAR 5915 Router w/ GigE Switch; (2xFE Routed, 2xFE
Switched, 15x GigE Switched) AdvIOS, CME-5. with dust caps on
switch module ports; Part Number MAR-5915-11-1.
2 - Breakout Cable Set for MAR-5915-11-1, (Mating MIL-38999 to
RJ45, DB9 and power), 5 Meters total length custom cable for
DND; Part number: CBL-5915-03.
3 - Breakout Cable Set for MAR-5915-11-1, (Mating MIL-38999 to
RJ45, DB9 and power); 3 Meters total length; Part number:
CBL-5915-01
Client: Defence R&D Canada - Valcartier (DRDC), 2459, boulevard
Pie-XI nord, Quebec, Quebec, Canada, G3J 1X5.
Justification for "No substitute products":
(a) The items are required to replicate in a lab environment, a
set of functionalities already used by the Canadian Forces.
Having the same items will allow improvements to the system
configuration in a controlled environment. Once proven valid,
these improvements will be ported back onto the operational
systems. This interoperability requirement cannot be achieved by
any other product.
(b) Quantities have been defined to allow for stress testing in
a distributed environment (i.e.: multi-site interconnected to
measure data packets collisions and system resilience). Once
these stress tests will be completed, the redundant systems will
be kept as spares available in case of system failure in order
to guaranty service continuity.
(c) The application involves the implementation of the NATO
Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR)
Interoperability Architecture (NIIA) specifically including the
STANAG 4609 (MPEG4/H.264) imagery digitalization and metadata
tagging. The video data must then get relayed over different
communication technologies inducing delays that are quantified
to allow their simulation using Wide Area Network (WAN)
Emulation. The items sought are being used by numerous DND
organizations to implement key segments of the Royal Canadian
Air Force (RCAF) Command, Control, Computers, Communication,
Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) Strategy.
The lab equipment must therefore be synchronized with a series
of ongoing initiatives providing the strategic capability to
distribute tactical information in near real-time to the
different command structures.
