Very Heavy-Lift Battery Operated Industrial Remotely Pilot Aerial Systems (RPAS)
Solicitation # 26-58128
The National Research Council of Canada's Centre for Drone Innovation requires the supply of one FlyingBasket FB3 very heavy-lift, battery-operated industrial remotely piloted aircraft system in a sling-payload configuration. This system is designed for the transport, deployment, and testing of large, non-standard scientific research payloads, such as the HySpex Mjolnir VS620 hyperspectral imaging system, in complex and demanding environments. The aircraft must be capable of carrying payloads up to 100 kg with a maximum take-off weight of approximately 175 kg. Key technical specifications include a redundant propulsion system with at least eight electric motors and four independent battery packs, a minimum flight endurance of 20 minutes with a 25 kg payload, and multi-constellation GNSS with RTK correction for positioning accuracy better than 0.2 meters. The procurement includes a mobile beyond visual line of sight capable ground control station with quad-redundant datalink, Starlink command-and-control capability, a remote-controlled load hook, and a flight termination system qualified per Light-UAS.2511 Containment. Additionally, the contract covers manufacturer-delivered cargo pilot and maintenance training, mission-planning support, spare parts, and a minimum twenty-four month warranty. The system must comply with Transport Canada RPAS Safety Assurance standards and include a documentation package with Specific Operations Risk Assessment templates. The complete system is to be delivered to the NRC in Ottawa, Ontario, no later than March 31, 2027.

26-58008 Fabrication of Heavy Impact Test Theater (HITT) Components, Question and Answer 5, Amendment #4
Solicitation # 26-58008
The National Research Council of Canada's Ocean, Coastal and River Engineering Research Centre requires the fabrication and delivery of precision mechanical and structural components for the Heavy Impact Test Theater (HITT) to support full-scale ice impact testing. The scope of work involves the manufacturing of a modular Hammer Assembly consisting of sixteen steel cube modules, an Anvil Assembly featuring machined low-density polyethylene and aluminum elements, and a Free Sway System for guided movement. While the Surge Restraint System was initially listed, subsequent amendments clarified it is no longer required. All components must be fabricated according to specific NRC engineering drawings and delivered DAP to St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, with a final delivery deadline of March 31, 2027. The procurement process is governed by a weighted evaluation system where 70 percent of the score is based on technical merit and 30 percent on price. To be compliant, offerors must demonstrate experience with heavy structural fabrication of assemblies weighing at least 1000 kg, provide proof of adequate facility capacity, and maintain a recognized quality control process. The contract includes strict requirements for environmentally preferable packaging, security clearances for technical data, and adherence to the Federal Contractors Program for Employment Equity.

26-58018 Laboratory Wind Wall System, Q&A 6, Amendment #7
Solicitation # 26-58018
The National Research Council of Canada's Aerospace Research Centre (NRC AERO) is soliciting a turnkey Laboratory Wind Wall System for its Drone and Flight Autonomy Laboratory in Mirabel, Quebec. The system is designed to support research on the performance, control, and safety of mid-size unmanned aircraft operating in complex aerodynamic environments, such as urban wind fields and ship airwakes. The requirement includes the design, fabrication, delivery, and commissioning of a vertically stacked fan array with a nominal jet face of 5m x 5m, positioned 3m above ground level. The system must provide controlled, repeatable airflow with specific performance metrics, including a maximum axial wind speed of 21-22 m/s, ramp-up acceleration of at least 10 m/s², and a non-dimensional swirl number of 0.5 or less at the test plane. The contract is a fixed-price arrangement with milestone-based payments, including 10% upon acceptance of the Preliminary Design Package and 20% upon acceptance of the Critical Design Package. The successful offeror must provide a minimum one-year warranty and ensure the system is compatible with North American industrial electrical standards and Canadian building codes. The NRC reserves an option to expand the system to 7m x 7m. Evaluation of proposals is based on a weighted formula consisting of Technical Merit (60%), Canadian Value-Added (25%), and Price (15%), with mandatory technical criteria and a minimum technical score of 50 points serving as pass/fail gates. All deliverables must be provided in both English and French, and final delivery is expected by March 31, 2028.
