Cleanroom Apparel leasing service

The National Research Council of Canada is seeking a contractor to provide a leasing and laundering service for microelectronics and semiconductor-grade reusable cleanroom apparel to support the Canadian Photonics Fabrication Center’s Class 100/1000 cleanroom operations in Ottawa, within the National Capital Region. The service requires the supply of fully compliant ESD-certified apparel including full-body non-shedding coveralls, hoods with complete head and neck coverage, and knee-high antistatic, non-skid, chemical-resistant shoe covers, all constructed from silicon-free, densely woven or non-woven continuous filament polyester or microporous fabric. Each garment must incorporate carbon grids for static dispersion, feature a zipper front with a storm flap and military collar, and have raglan sleeves with anti-static knit cuffs, meeting ANSI/ESD S20.20 and ANSI/ESD STM 2.1 standards. All apparel must be individually bagged and sealed in packaging designed to minimize particle attraction and electrostatic discharge events, and each item must be barcoded to ensure full traceability through the lifecycle. The contractor must operate an ISO 5 cleanroom laundry facility using a validated wash process and perform weekly pickup and delivery of apparel to and from the CPFC location. The contract has a one-year initial period extending to March 31, 2027, with three optional renewal periods under identical terms, and the estimated total value is $104,558.00 excluding GST/HST. This solicitation is issued as an Advance Contract Award Notice, indicating the government intends to award the contract to a pre-identified supplier unless another qualified bidder submits a written statement of capabilities demonstrating full compliance with all minimum essential requirements by the June 15, 2026, deadline. Responses must be submitted to Marie Josée Lachance, Senior Procurement Officer, at the provided address or email, and the procurement is subject to the Canada-Korea Free Trade Agreement.
