Cryocooler Supply and Integration

The contract involves the supply and integration of a pulse tube cryocooler, such as the Bluefors PT60, designed to maintain a stable temperature of 80 K within a test cryostat at the National Research Council of Canada's facility in Ottawa. The system must meet stringent requirements for thermal stability, vibration isolation, and acoustic noise control to ensure compatibility with sensitive experimental equipment. The cryocooler will be fully integrated into the existing cryostat infrastructure, with all engineering, installation, and commissioning activities performed to meet NRC’s operational and performance standards. The subcontract is open for responses until July 7, 2026, under the NAICS code 333415, which pertains to refrigeration and heating equipment manufacturing. The place of performance is in Canada, and the award will be managed under the Government of Canada’s procurement framework.
