CEI Mississauga Research Center is looking to acquire a Benchtop X-ray Diffractometer (XRD) to conduct analysis of material samples for Materials and Chemical Science applications. As such, the XRD must be capable of initially analyzing powder samples, small crystal samples, thin film samples, and metallic samples. Any equipment purchased must be able to be configured in future for work in the condition as requirements evolve. The Benchtop XRD must be easy to use and must have the requirements for re-alignment after reconfiguration of optical components reduced to a minimum – as such a ‘plug and play’ type system that can be implemented in automated workflows is required. The system requirements are listed below. All deliverables must be received no later than below: 20 weeks from the date of contract award.

CNC Tool Room LatheThe National Research Council Canada is soliciting a CNC tool room lathe with full manual machining capabilities to support precision machining, quick setup, and operational flexibility for its Design and Fabrication Service in Ottawa, Ontario. The solicitation, numbered 26-58071, requires delivery and full commissioning of the machine, including on-site installation, laser calibration with ballbar verification, and training for up to five NRC personnel, all to be completed no later than December 31, 2026. The machine must meet stringent technical requirements, including a hardened way system with a minimum hardness of 50 HRC, C3-grade ball screws on all axes, a Siemens CNC controller with manual handwheel operation, a two-speed automatic geared headstock, 5C and 8-inch chucks, Meehanite SP-100 cast iron construction, and compliance with Canadian Electrical Code and CSA/cUL safety standards. Offers are evaluated on a lowest price, technically compliant basis, where all mandatory specifications must be met without exception—failure to satisfy any single technical requirement renders an offer non-compliant regardless of price. Only Canadian suppliers or suppliers from applicable trading partners are eligible under the Policy on Reciprocal Procurement, and submissions must be submitted electronically by July 31, 2026, to the designated bid receiving email. The contract is governed under Incoterms® 2020 DAP at the NRC’s Ottawa facility, with packaging required to be reusable, recyclable, or returnable in alignment with Canada’s Green Procurement Policy, and all shipments must include a detailed packing slip with CRN and BN identifiers. Security requirements are substantial: personnel may require access to PROTECTED or CLASSIFIED information and must undergo appropriate screening as defined in Annex SRCL. The contract includes an irrevocable government option to purchase additional items under the same terms prior to contract expiry, but no extension of the delivery deadline is permitted. Payment is made electronically via direct deposit, EDI, or wire transfer upon submission of compliant invoices bearing financial codes, CRN, and BN, and all submissions must be in one of Canada’s official languages. An organizational conflict of interest certification is mandatory, and any breach may result in offer rejection or contract termination.

NRC TBIPS A.5 Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Technical Analyst, Level 3The National Research Council of Canada (NRC), through its Chief Information Officer Branch, is seeking a part-time Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Technical Analyst, Level 3, to provide on-demand support for the transition from the legacy Virtual Store to a new e-Commerce platform. This solicitation, issued under the Task-Based Informatics Professional Services (TBIPS) Supply Arrangement (EN578-170432), Tier 1, is open to qualified suppliers with a contract ceiling of up to $3,750,000, though the anticipated effort is limited to 17 days of work over the one-year contract period from November 1, 2026, to October 31, 2027. Performance is to be conducted remotely within Canada, with no specific location required beyond the country boundary, and the work will be activated as needed rather than on a fixed schedule. All personnel must attain a Reliability Designated Organization Screening status prior to performing under the contract, though offerors are not required to hold clearances at the time of submission. The contract is governed by applicable trade agreements including the Canadian Free Trade Agreement and other international agreements, and is expected to follow a firm-fixed-price structure consistent with TBIPS practices. Proposals must be submitted directly via email to Contracting Authority Shufang Weng by the deadline of July 22, 2026, and may be prepared in either English or French. No line-item pricing, CLINs, or detailed cost breakdowns are provided, as this solicitation leverages pre-negotiated framework pricing under the TBIPS arrangement. There are no stated options, key personnel requirements, or specific technical standards beyond the security screening and functional delivery expectation of ensuring seamless system migration with minimal disruption. The evaluation methodology, packaging requirements, inspection criteria, and detailed contract clauses are not included in the provided documentation, leaving these aspects to be defined in the full procurement package or subsequent task orders.
