JTRS Ground Adaptor Kit

This appears to be an open Department of National Defence (DND) procurement for a JTRS Ground Adaptor Kit supporting Royal Canadian Air Force Link 16 radio operations in fixed-site environments. The requirement is for commercially available equipment and factory-terminated cabling, including: - 20 external DC power supply units capable of nominal 280 VDC continuous operation; - 20 rack-mount cooling trays or assemblies suitable for sustained high-power transmission and cooling both the radio and its power supply in a 19-inch rack; and - 20 complete cable sets covering power, data/control, timing, and human-machine interface connections. Installation, system integration, testing, and certification are not included in the stated requirement. However, some cable assemblies appear to depend on controlled U.S. Government interface specifications. Potential suppliers may therefore need existing authorization to access or manufacture to those specifications. The equipment must also meet applicable military and aerospace construction practices and the technical requirements in the tender documents. Delivery is specified to Unit #3, 1941 Robertson Road, Bells Corners, Nepean, Ottawa, Ontario, K2H 5B7. The listed closing date is October 19, 2026, at 4:00 p.m.; the tender notice should be checked to confirm the applicable time zone and submission instructions. This opportunity may be relevant to businesses that supply high-voltage DC power equipment, rack-mounted thermal-management products, military/aerospace cable assemblies, or related defence electronics hardware. A business should review the complete specifications, required authorizations, manufacturing standards, contract terms, and bidder instructions before deciding whether to pursue it. Do not rely on this summary alone—verify all requirements, amendments, security or access conditions, delivery details, and the official closing time in the official tender notice and referenced documents before submitting a bid. The provided documents are available through Canada Buys, but no separate official-source link was supplied in the tender data.
