Question/Answer #2 RFP 26-58124 Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS)-Deployable Integrated Topographic and Bathymetric (Topo-Bathymetric) LiDAR System
Solicitation # 26-58124
The National Research Council of Canada is soliciting proposals for one integrated topo-bathymetric LiDAR system to be deployed on medium-class Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS). This system will support the Centre for Drone Innovation in research, development, and operational deployments, specifically for capturing above-water topography and shallow-water bathymetry. Key technical requirements include a 532 nm green laser for water penetration of at least 2 meters, unconditional full-waveform recording, and user-selectable measurement rates up to 200 kHz. The payload must weigh no more than 12 kg, operate on a 18–34 VDC power supply, and feature an IP64 ingress protection rating. It must also include a survey-grade GNSS/INS compatible with Applanix POSPac, a co-aligned RGB camera with at least 20 megapixels, and a comprehensive manufacturer-supported hydrographic processing software workflow. The contract is awarded based on the lowest evaluated price among bidders who meet all mandatory technical criteria. The successful contractor must deliver the system to Ottawa, Ontario, within twelve weeks of the contract award, with a final performance deadline of March 31, 2027. Deliverables include the hardware, OEM software licenses, and comprehensive training for up to four NRC personnel. The system must come with a minimum twelve-month manufacturer warranty and a defined maintenance schedule. Proposals must be submitted via email by October 26, 2026, at 2:00 PM EDT, divided into separate technical, financial, and certification volumes.

Solicitation # 25-58191
The National Research Council Canada is soliciting a Standing Offer for the supply, delivery, installation, and commissioning of various scientific and laboratory equipment to support research activities across multiple sites in Canada. A critical component of this procurement involves third-party inspection services, including initial and follow-up plant inspections conducted in Canada, the United States, or via virtual means. Service providers must hold a valid ISO/IEC 17020 accreditation recognized by the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation and adhere to strict CCMC marking and labeling requirements. The initial period of performance is set from April 1, 2026, to March 31, 2027, with the possibility of four additional one-year extensions through March 31, 2031. Award selection is based on the highest combined rating of technical merit, weighted at 65 percent, and pricing, weighted at 35 percent. To be compliant, offerors must achieve a minimum of 15 points on the technical evaluation. Pricing is evaluated on a lowest-cost basis across specific inspection codes. Proposals must be submitted as separate technical and financial attachments, with a strict prohibition against including pricing in the technical volume to avoid disqualification.
