The period of the contract is from contract award to June 30, 2025, with renewal option periods of three (3) one-year periods.
ECCC operates aerological observing stations throughout Canada. These stations complete soundings of the upper atmosphere twice daily for each day of the year.

In addition, tracking of the balloon allows for computation of winds and wind shear at upper levels of the atmosphere.
ECCC requires the services of a contractor to prepare the instruments and conduct two (2) upper air soundings per day, three hundred and sixty-five (365) days per year (366 days in a leap year) to monitor the data and messages produced, and to ensure the prompt transmittal of the data, onsite at the upper air station situated in Prince George, BC.
