FurnitureThis solicitation, numbered 25-58244 B, is issued by the National Research Council of Canada under the Furniture for Workspaces Supply Arrangement (SA) E60PQ-140003/D and its associated series E60PQ-140003/PQ, targeting pre-qualified suppliers within the PSIB stream for the procurement, delivery, and installation of office furniture at Building M-38, 1200 Montreal Road, Ottawa, Ontario. The requirement spans multiple product categories under the SA, including Work Surface Products, Filing and Storage Products, Ancillary Products, and Collaborative Products, with specific quantities outlined for items such as fixed-height work surfaces, hutches, personal storage towers, monitor arms, power modules, cable troughs, and various meeting tables. All proposed products must meet mandatory technical specifications in Annex A, conform to the Government of Canada Workplace Fit-up Standards, and comply with the ANSI/BIFMA e3 Furniture Sustainability Standard at a minimum Level® 2. Delivery and installation are required by October 2, 2026, with a standard lead time of eight to ten weeks, and offers must include detailed drawings and specifications for verification by the NRC. Evaluation is based on a lowest evaluated price model, with two mandatory pass/fail gates requiring confirmation of compliance with Annex A and the ability to meet the October 2 delivery deadline; failure in either results in non-responsive status. All offers must be submitted electronically in two separate attachments — one technical and one financial — to the designated NRC bid email address, with no zip files, links, or hard copies accepted, and the total email size must not exceed 10 MB. Financial information must not be included in the technical submission under penalty of disqualification. Suppliers must hold an active, pre-qualified Supply Arrangement and certify continued compliance with all qualifications and representations required under the SA, including integrity provisions, employment equity, product conformance, and price certifications as outlined in Part 6B. Security requirements, detailed in the attached Security Requirements Checklist, apply and must be adhered to, with all personnel required to comply with the site's health and safety protocols. Invoices must be submitted via email to a designated NRC address, and payment may be processed by credit card if the supplier's SA permits it.

26-58075 Radio Frequency (RF) Test and Measurement SuiteThe National Research Council of Canada is seeking a fully integrated radio frequency (RF) test and measurement suite capable of supporting advanced metrology and quantum sensing research. The system must include a high-performance signal generator with a frequency range from 10 kHz to 50 GHz, featuring an integrated frequency multiplier that extends its output to 110–170 GHz and is controllable through the same interface. The generator must deliver exceptional signal purity with low phase noise and minimal harmonics, and it must accept external frequency references at either 10 MHz or 100 MHz to ensure long-term stability. Accompanying this is a signal/spectrum analyzer with a measurement range up to 50 GHz, designed to accurately capture signal magnitude, frequency content, harmonics, and spurious emissions for validating sensor outputs and system performance. A vector network analyzer with a frequency range up to 44 GHz is also required to comprehensively characterize RF components by measuring both magnitude and phase of reflection and transmission parameters, supporting testing environments from room temperature to cryogenic conditions. The entire system must function as a unified, compatible solution, ensuring seamless operation and data correlation across all instruments. The requirement arises from the critical need for precision RF instrumentation in quantum metrology, where accurate control and readout of quantum sensors depend on stable, low-noise signal generation and precise measurement capabilities. The suite will be used to validate experimental systems, ensure signal integrity, and characterize components under extreme operating conditions. Proposals must be submitted by August 14th, 2026 at 2 PM EDT, following a questions and answers period that concludes on August 7th, 2026. The solicitation, issued by the National Research Council of Canada under number 26-58075, is open to eligible suppliers and specifies that performance will take place in Canada. Primary point of contact for inquiries is Shawn Doyle, Contracting Authority, reachable via email or phone provided in the solicitation.
