    Description

    This bid solicitation cancels and supersedes previous bid solicitation number 5000068002 with a closing of 2023-09-15 at 14:00 EDT.

    Environment and Climate Change Canada has a requirement for aerological observations at the Iqaluit Upper Air Station, Nunavut as detailed in the Statement of Work, Annex “A” to the bid solicitation. The period of the contract is from contract award to March 31, 2026 with three (3) additional one-year option periods.

    ECCC operates aerological observing stations throughout Canada. These stations complete soundings of the upper atmosphere twice daily for each day of the year. The observations are taken by releasing a gas-filled balloon with an attached instrument which is tracked via one of a variety of electronic navigational methods. This attached instrument transmits meteorological data relating to temperature, humidity, and the height of standard atmospheric pressure levels. In addition, tracking of the balloon allows for computation of winds and wind shear at upper levels of the atmosphere.

    ECCC requires the services of a Contractor to prepare the instruments and conduct two (2) upper air soundings per day, three hundred and sixty-five (365) days per year, (366 days in a leap year) to monitor the data and messages produced, and to ensure the prompt transmittal of the data, onsite at the upper air station situated in Iqaluit, Nunavut.

    This procurement is subject to the Agreement Between the Inuit of the Nunavut Settlement Area and Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada (the Nunavut Agreement).
