Supply of RF Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs)

The contract involves the supply of vector network analyzers to support the characterization of radio frequency components including antennas, filters, and amplifiers critical to counter-unmanned aerial systems. These instruments are essential for validating the performance of RF hardware under both laboratory and real-world field conditions, ensuring operational readiness and reliability. The equipment must meet precise technical specifications to accurately measure key parameters such as S-parameters, impedance, and insertion loss across relevant frequency bands used in C-UAS applications. This is a subcontract issued by the National Research Council of Canada under the Government of Canada, with a posted date of June 8, 2026, and a response deadline of June 23, 2026. The North American Industry Classification System code 334515 indicates the procurement falls under the manufacturing of electronic instrumentation. Performance of the work is expected to be conducted within Canada, and while no specific location or point of contact is listed, the solicitation is published via Canada Buys, the official government procurement platform. The contract does not specify a set-aside status, meaning it is open to all eligible suppliers regardless of size or ownership structure.
