Trade Agreement: NONE Tendering Procedures: If 2+ bids offer Canadian goods/services other bids will not be considered Competitive Procurement Strategy: Best Overall Proposal Comprehensive Land Claim Agreement: No Nature of Requirements: 9F050-170986/A Project title Lunar Surface Mobility Precursor to Human and Science Rover- LSM PHASR- Phase 0 Description Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) on behalf of Canadian Space Agency (CSA) located in St-Hubert, (Quebec) is seeking bids for the project entitled LSM PHASR Phase 0. Canada under the International Space Exploration Coordination Group (ISECG) and in particular for Lunar Surface Mobility (LSM) related activities through international partnership under the Lunar Exploration Demonstrator Mission Definition Study, is continuing its collaboration with international partners to define concepts for collaborative missions Beyond Low Earth Orbit (BLEO), as presented in the Global Exploration Roadmap (GER 2018). As mentioned in the GER, an international common long term goal is the human exploration of Mars. One step towards this is to have human presence in the cis-Lunar space on an orbiting vehicle currently referred to as the Deep Space Gateway (DSG). Through the DSG, a crew of up to four astronauts would have access to the surface of the Moon to perform extended stays for science and exploration. As a robotics precursor demonstration and scientific mission, the European Space Agency (ESA)-led Human Enhanced Robotic Architecture and Capability for Lunar Exploration and Science (HERACLES) mission currently being studied propose an option for Canada to contribute a rover referred to as the Precursor to Human And Scientific Rover (PHASR). PHASR would be the precursor rover to a larger human rated rover referred to as the Lunar Pressurized Rover (LPR) and would constitute a key asset for scientific research and return of lunar samples to Earth. The Phase 0 study solicited herein is to inform Canada on key aspects of the PHASR contribution to the mission. The Phase 0 essentially is the Mission Definition Phase during which, based on Mission Objectives and Users’ Needs, all mission definition activities are performed and Mission Requirements are developed. One key result of a Phase 0 is to provide information for Canada to clearly understand the mission feasibility, options, costs, schedule, and risks associated with a PHASR possible contribution. Furthermore, at the end of the Phase 0 study, Canada should have all the key technical and programmatic information necessary to make an informed decision about a potential PHASR contribution and for subsequent immediate next steps. Work requirements include elements associated with mission analysis, planning and development, mission operations, systems engineering, trades assessments and support to CSA with respect to the HERACLES mission studies. Up to two (2) contracts could be awarded. Period of Contract The contract issued will be for a period of 12 months for Phase 0. Maximum Funding The maximum funding available for each Contract resulting from the bid solicitation is $ 800 000.00 per contract (Applicable Taxes extra). Intellectual Property The Intellectual Property will vest with the Crown. Security Requirements There is no security requirement associated with this requirement. Trade Agreements This procurement is not subject to Trade Agreements. Canadian Content The requirement is limited to Canadian services. Delivery Date: Above-mentioned The Crown retains the right to negotiate with suppliers on any procurement. Documents may be submitted in either official language of Canada.
