F1705-250690 - Land Based Non-Rotating Phased Array Radar

The Canadian Coast Guard is seeking information on land-based non-rotating phased-array and electronically steered array radar technologies through an RFI issued under solicitation number WS5545074508, titled F1705-250690. The goal is to evaluate advanced radar systems that align with IALA standards to improve maritime safety and security across Canadian waters, specifically for Vessel Traffic Services, Port Security, and Coastal Surveillance operations. This initiative is purely exploratory and intended for planning purposes, with no obligation to procure or award a contract based on the responses received. The RFI was posted on May 5, 2026, with a single response deadline of the same day at 2:00 PM Eastern Time, indicating a tightly timed engagement window. All submissions must be directed to Carmen Skolos2 of Public Services and Procurement Canada, the designated point of contact. While the procurement is federally managed under the Government of Canada and the place of performance is listed as British Columbia, no specific NAICS code or set-aside categories are provided, reflecting its preliminary nature. The process is open to industry input without initiating a formal solicitation or procurement pathway.
