Invitation for “Expression of Interest” for Engineering, Design, Manufacturing, Delivery, Installation, Testing, Calibration, Commissioning and Acceptance of Spacecraft and Antenna Level New Compact Antenna Test

Facility [CATF] at ISAC.

ISRO Satellite Centre [ISAC] of Indian Space Research Organization [ISRO] under Department of Space, Government of India is the lead Centre of ISRO for Design, Development, Fabrication and Testing of all Indian made Satellites. As a Sequel to its mandate of spacecraft realization, the Centre is engaged in the development of cutting-edge technologies of relevance to its Satellite building activities and setting up of infrastructure for Design, Development, Fabrication and Testing of Spacecraft.

ISAC is planning to establish a New Compact Antenna Test Facility (CATF) at ISRO Spacecraft Integration and Testing Establishment (ISITE), Marathahalli, Bengaluru, to carry out antenna measurements, payload and system level tests on advanced communication/Navigation/MWRS/IRS&SSS satellites with deployed antennas. The baseline specification has been set up for an instrumentation measurement range of 0.5 to 110 GHz with a capability to extend it up to 200GHz.The facility is to be established at ISITE, Marathalli, Bengaluru.

The proposal is to invite Expression Of Interest (EOI) for Engineering, Design, Manufacturing, Delivery, Installation, Testing, Calibration, Commissioning and Acceptance of Spacecraft and Antenna Level New Compact Antenna Test Facility [CATF] at ISAC. Brief specifications are available in the ISRO website. Interested Suppliers may download the EOI documents from www.isro.gov.in under ‘Tenders’.

Potential Supplier[s] having sufficient know-how, experience/expertise and sound financial background are invited to express their interest for the Establishment of New CATF. It is mandatory that the supplier should have earlier experience of establishing at least one such facility with 5mx5mx8m Quite Zone. The EOI will be evaluated on the basis of Compliance to the Technical Parameters; Technical Expertise in Establishment of same/similar Facilities; Financial soundness of the Supplier[s]. Preference will be given to such of that Supplier[s] who has executed same/similar Projects for Global Space Agencies.

ISAC reserves the right to cancel/re-issue the process of EOI if the necessity so arises or to seek further information/details. Companies/Firms, if found to have indulged in any corrupt or fraudulent practices, will be debarred taking part in the Tendering process and their EOI Document will not be taken up for consideration. Pre-EOI Conference: A Pre-EOI Conference is arranged at ISRO Satellite Centre, HAL Airport Road, Vimanapura PO, Bengaluru-560017. Interested Supplier[s] can take part in the Pre-EOI Conference in order to have better understanding of our Invitation to EOI document, clarify doubts if any, and other Allied Technical and Commercial Terms and Conditions of New CATF. The details of Pre-EOI Conference are furnished here below: Date and Time of Pre-EOI Conference: 28/7/2017 @ 09:30AM. Focal Point and Venue of Pre-EOI Conference: Focal Point: Shri. Puneet Kumar Mishra, Phone: +91-80-23027240, E-mail: [email protected], Venue: PPEG Conference Hall, ISRO Satellite Centre, HAL Airport Road, Vimanapura Post, Bengaluru-560 017. Please note that request for “Pre-ponement/Postponement of Pre-EOI conference for Expression of Interest, will not be entertained under any circumstances. THE COMPANIES/FIRMS WHO DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE PRE-EOI CONFERENCE FOR EXPRESSION OF INTEREST, SUCH COMPANIES/FIRMS EOI WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED AND THE REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL WILL NOT BE SENT TO SUCH COMPANIES/FIRMS. Interested Supplier[s] may please provide following details of their Representative[s] taking part in the Pre-EOI meeting for Expression of Interest well in advance (at least 2 weeks before) in order to arrange for Security clearance. Data required for Security Clearance: (1) Name of the Visitor, (2) Nationality, (3) Passport Number, Validity, Date and Place of Issue [Photocopy of Passport is to be attached], (4) Business Visa Number and validity [Photocopy of Business Visa is to be attached], (5) Date of Birth, (6) Place of Birth, (7) Gender, (8) Occupation, (9) Name and Address of Company/Firm and (10) Phone No. EOI is to be submitted before the specified date and time along with the Document Fee Rs. 573/- in the form of Demand Draft, drawn in favour of Accounts Officer, ISAC, Bengaluru, failing which EOI document will not be considered. Registered Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) and Foreign Vendors submitting their EOIs directly without the assistance of their Indian Agents are exempted from payment of Document Fee. Last date for submission of EOI : 22/08/2017 14.00 Hours IST

Opening date of EOI : 22/08/2017 15.00 Hours IST

EOI with all the above information shall reach the undersigned, Quoting above Reference Number on or before 22/08/2017. This proposal is initiated as a Pre-EOI Qualification. ISAC reserves the right to accept or reject all or any such “Expression of Interest”; without assigning any reasons what so ever.
