High-Capacity Data Storage Module Supply

The National Research Council of Canada is seeking a subcontractor to supply a minimum 60 TB expandable RAID array storage system designed specifically for long-duration time-lapse imaging applications. The system must ensure robust data integrity and full redundancy to safeguard critical visual data collected over extended periods, with capacity that can be scaled as project needs evolve. The storage solution is intended for deployment within the National Capital Region, where consistent, reliable performance under continuous operation is essential. Submissions must be received by July 4, 2026, and the contract is classified under NAICS code 334112, indicating the focus on computer and peripheral equipment manufacturing. This opportunity is issued as a subcontract under the Government of Canada’s procurement framework, with no set-aside provisions indicated. Bidders are expected to deliver a technically sound, enterprise-grade storage solution that meets stringent reliability standards for scientific imaging workflows, and should be prepared to support integration with existing infrastructure in a government research environment.
