The National Research Council Canada is soliciting offers for a high-precision Accelerating Rate Calorimeter (ARC) system to support the safety and thermal characterization of advanced energy storage technologies. The system will be used by the Automotive and Surface Transportation team to simulate worst-case thermal runaway scenarios in an adiabatic environment, identifying critical safety boundaries such as exothermic onset temperature, self-heating kinetics, and total energy and pressure release in alignment with SAE J2464 and UN 38.3 standards. The procurement is open to Canadian suppliers and those from applicable trading partners, with all deliverables, including the system, manuals, documentation, and training, required to be received by December 15, 2026.

Bids must be submitted in Canadian dollars on a DAP Ottawa, Ontario basis. Proposals must be submitted electronically in three separate sections: a technical offer, a financial offer, and certification documents. The final submission deadline was extended to September 8, 2026. The contract includes specific requirements for environmentally preferable packaging and a 30-day payment term for undisputed invoices.
