This open ACAN (Advance Contract Award Notice) from Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC), on behalf of the Department of National Defence, concerns the supply of AN/SSQ-53G (GPS) DIFAR sonobuoys. The requirement is for six lots. Each lot contains 1,186sonobuoys: 1,152 for delivery and 34 for lot sample testing, for a stated total of 7,116 sonobuoys. Delivery is expected within 9 to 12 months. The requested item is identified as stock code 5845-01-663-0428 and part number 130-9044-101. A key condition is that the sonobuoys must already be flight-qualified for use on either the P-3 Orion or CP-140 Aurora aircraft. This is intended to avoid additional qualification and stores-clearance testing. The notice states that there are no security requirements. The notice appears highly specialized and potentially matches suppliers that already manufacture or distribute this exact product and can demonstrate the required aircraft qualification. It may not be a standard open competition because it is an ACAN; interested businesses should review the official notice for the applicable response process and any opportunity to challenge the proposed procurement.Closing date: September 21, 2026, at 23:45.Location listed: Gatineau, Quebec, Canada.
