Public Services and Procurement Canada, on behalf of the Department of National Defence, has issued Request for Information W7714-228152/A to engage industry regarding the Polar Over the Horizon Radar (P-OTHR) Program. Building upon feasibility studies conducted by Defence Research and Development Canada between 2015 and 2020, this initiative seeks a contractor to design, build, install, and operate a polar over-the-horizon radar site in the Canadian Arctic. The primary objective of the system is to detect air targets beyond line-of-sight and determine the specific effects of the Aurora Borealis on target detection. The project will utilize a government-furnished antenna array and power source. This solicitation is open to all interested suppliers under CFTA and CPTPP trade agreements, with a competitive procurement strategy focused on the lowest bid. The scope of work moves beyond initial sounding exercises to the integration of functional radar components at an Arctic site, specifically within the Northwest Territories. Following Amendment 001, the deadline for industry responses, including capability information and preliminary cost estimates, was extended to October 31, 2023. Submissions are accepted in either official language of Canada.

Amendment 001 is to extend the Request for Information until the 31 October 2023.
During 2015 to 2020, Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) executed the All Domain Situational Awareness (ADSA) Program, which included a study of the feasibility of using sky-wave over-the-horizon radar technology in the polar cap region of the Canadian Arctic for detecting air targets. This study involved the installation of the first Canadian Polar Over-the-Horizon Radar (POTHR) system, at a location in Nunavut.
Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) is launching this Request for Information (RFI) to engage industry, through consultation, on its interest, capacity and ability to supply and deliver the requirements of the Department of National Defence’s Polar Over the Horizon Radar (P-OTHR) Program.
As part of this program a project exists to study the feasibility of using sky-wave over-the-horizon radar technology in the polar cap region of the Canadian Arctic for detecting air targets. This project is referred to as polar over-the-horizon radar.
One-way and two-way sounding work is already in progress in the Canadian Arctic. This Statement of Work moves beyond sounding and involves putting together radar functional components at an Arctic Site.
The services of a Contractor are required to design, build, install, and operate, a polar over-the-horizon radar site, incorporating a government-furnished power source and a government-furnished antenna array. The system will be used to determine the effect of the Aurora Borealis on target detection beyond line-of-sight.
