The National Research Council Canada is soliciting bids for the supply and delivery of a complete, new, and current Acoustic Mixing System to be installed at its Clean Energy and Innovation facility in Mississauga, Ontario. The system must be capable of mixing a wide range of materials including liquids, pastes, powders from nano to large particle sizes, and highly viscous substances, with specific components including a benchtop acoustic mixer, a jacketed vessel with heating and cooling capabilities, an automatic vacuum system, and a spray coating system with related software. The total system must fit on a standard laboratory benchtop with dimensions not exceeding 35 inches in height, 30 inches in depth, and 30 inches in width, and a maximum overall height of 72 inches. It must have a mixing capacity of at least 900 grams and support volumes as low as 50 milliliters, feature an integrated timer, and include necessary electrical connectors for power, gas, vacuum, and jacketed vessel and spray system interfaces, along with a USB or HDMI port if computer-operated. All equipment must comply with the Canadian Electrical Code, be new and unused, and delivered under DAP Incoterms® 2020 terms directly to Mississauga, Ontario. All deliverables must be received within ten weeks of contract award. Offers must be submitted electronically as two separate attachments labeled “Technical Offer” and “Financial Offer,” with all financial information strictly confined to the financial section to avoid disqualification. The solicitation number is 25-58201 B, posted July 14, 2026, with a response deadline of July 29, 2026, superseding an earlier solicitation dated March 2, 2026. The technical offer must thoroughly demonstrate compliance with all mandatory requirements listed in Annex G, which serve as pass/fail gates; failure to meet any mandatory criterion results in immediate non-compliance and rejection. The award will be based on the lowest evaluated price among technically compliant offers, with no weighting applied to other factors. Financial offers must be all-inclusive in Canadian dollars, covering all equipment, software, peripherals, and components for the entire contract period, with applicable taxes such as GST, PST, QST, or HST disclosed separately. The Contractor must maintain comprehensive, machine-readable accounting records in Excel or similar formats, and must allow Canada or its agents to audit these records during normal business hours at the Contractor’s location
