RFI-WORLDWIDE SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS – PROTECTED MILSATCOM TACTICAL (WSC-PMT) PROJECT

This appears to be an open Request for Information (RFI), not a bid solicitation or contract award opportunity. Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC), on behalf of the Defence Investment Agency, is seeking industry information and feedback about the Worldwide Satellite Communications – Protected Military Satellite Communications Tactical (WSC-PMT) project. The initiative relates to protected military satellite communications and may be relevant to businesses with capabilities in satellite communications, defence technology, secure communications, systems integration, or related services. However, the notice does not indicate that a contract is currently available, and responding to the RFI would not necessarily lead to future procurement work. Key dates listed in the description include: - June 24, 2026: Deadline to register for pre-submission one-on-one meetings, submit signed Rules of Engagement, and provide questions - May 26–June 26, 2026: Pre-submission optional one-on-one meetings - July 17, 2026: RFI response submission deadline - July 22, 2026: Deadline to register for post-submission one-on-one meetings and submit required documents - July 27–August 20, 2026: Post-submission optional one-on-one meetings - September 3, 2026: RFI closing date The listing shows a September 5, 2028 closing date, but the description states that the RFI closes on September 3, 2026 and will then remain active for up to two years for publishing findings and communicating future engagement opportunities. This discrepancy should be confirmed in the official notice. Businesses interested in participating should review the full RFI, contact the named Contracting Authority to register, examine the Rules of Engagement, and follow the submission instructions on the official Ariba portal. Verify all dates, requirements, security or technical expectations, and whether any future procurement has been issued before relying on this notice or submitting information.
