Custom Gas Atomization System Design and Manufacturing

The contract seeks the design, engineering, and fabrication of a custom laboratory-scale gas atomizer system intended for the production of spherical metal powders, encompassing the full integration of mechanical, pneumatic, and control systems to ensure precise and repeatable performance. The system must be engineered to meet rigorous scientific and industrial standards for powder morphology, particle size distribution, and operational consistency, tailored specifically for research applications in advanced materials development. All components, from the melt delivery and nozzle assembly to the gas flow regulation and process monitoring controls, must be carefully specified and tested to ensure reliability and safety in a laboratory environment. The work is being procured as a subcontract under the National Research Council of Canada, with a response deadline of June 30, 2026, and performance expected to occur within Canada. The project falls under NAICS code 333292, indicating a focus on industrial machinery manufacturing, and requires a bidder with demonstrated expertise in high-pressure gas systems, metallurgical processing equipment, and automated control architectures. The emphasis is on innovation and precision, with deliverables including detailed engineering documentation, fabrication of the complete system, installation readiness, and technical support to ensure successful deployment in a federal research setting.
