AI Contract Overview
The National Research Council of Canada is procuring two highly customized lightweight transit cases equipped with rack-mounted UPS chassis under an Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN #26-58002) for the Canadian Forces Land Electronic Warfare Modernization program. These systems are designed to support sensitive communication equipment across military vehicle platforms, requiring a ruggedized, modular design weighing approximately 13 pounds (6 kg) with a 600W UPS, 8-slot chassis, 16 TB SSD storage, and compatibility with Harris AN/PRC-117G, AN/PRC-158, AN/PRC-160, and AN/PRC-167 radios. The solution must include four miniaturized modules for routing, switching, and compute functions, integrate seamlessly with the TRIK-M peripheral racking system, and comply with MIL-STD-1275 for 28 VDC power input. The procurement is conducted under the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business (PSIB), with Mattawa IT Solutions Inc. pre-identified as the sole capable supplier under Government Contracts Regulations subsection 6(d), which permits sole-source award when only one entity can meet the technical requirements. Delivery is required within 60 days of contract award to Ottawa, Ontario, with no options, extensions, or quantity increases permitted, and no security clearances are needed for performance. All submissions must be in the form of a Statement of Capabilities submitted exclusively by email to Roxanne Azzi Abboud, the designated Senior Contracting Officer, no later than May 15, 2026, at 2:00 PM ET. No formal page or formatting limits apply, but the submission must comprehensively demonstrate full compliance with every non-negotiable technical requirement listed in the ACAN. The evaluation process is structured as a pass/fail assessment against these mandatory specifications, consistent with a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) approach, though no pricing details are published as this is a pre-award notice. The acquisition excludes competitive bidding, and only Indigenous businesses verified under PSIB are eligible to respond. No additional attachments, labeling, preservation, or invoicing details are specified beyond the core technical and eligibility criteria, and the Government of Canada retains full responsibility for inspection and acceptance. The contract value, payment methods, and accounting codes remain unlisted, indicating that financial terms will be finalized only upon award to the single qualified Indigenous vendor.
