Design and Manufacture of Ballistic Plasticine Ovens

The contract entails the full design, engineering, and manufacturing of two high-precision ovens specifically engineered to heat ballistic plasticine to temperatures exceeding 300°C. Each oven must feature forced air circulation for uniform thermal distribution, adaptive PID control for precise temperature regulation, and redundant sensor systems to ensure reliability and safety during critical operations. The units must be constructed from stainless steel to withstand prolonged exposure to high temperatures and maintain structural integrity under demanding conditions. All aspects of development, from conceptual design through final assembly, are the responsibility of the contractor, with strict adherence to performance and durability requirements. The contract is categorized as a subcontract under NAICS code 333292 and is issued by the Department of National Defence of the Government of Canada. Performance is required to take place in Québec, though no specific facility address is provided. The solicitation was posted on July 30, 2026, with a formal response deadline set for August 14, 2026. While no set-aside status or point of contact details are included, interested parties must submit proposals within the specified window to be considered for award. The ovens are critical equipment for ballistic testing applications, necessitating uncompromising precision, robust construction, and fail-safe operational characteristics.
