High-Precision Integrating Sphere Supply

The contract calls for the supply of a high-precision integrating sphere with a minimum diameter of 16 inches, designed for optical measurements across a broad spectral range from 400 to 2500 nanometers, covering visible, near-infrared, and short-wave infrared wavelengths. The device must feature variable port sizes ranging from 2 to 4 inches to accommodate diverse experimental configurations while ensuring a maximum output uniformity variance of 1 percent at the exit port, critical for accurate and repeatable radiometric and photometric applications. The integrating sphere is intended for use in high-stakes scientific and calibration environments requiring exceptional optical consistency and signal fidelity. This subcontract, issued by the National Research Council of Canada under the Government of Canada, is posted with a response deadline of July 9, 2026, and is classified under NAICS code 334517 for other instrumentation manufacturing. There is no set-aside designation, and the place of performance and point of contact details are not specified. Interested parties must submit responses through the Canada Buys portal by the stated deadline, and the device must meet strict technical specifications to qualify for award. The requirement reflects a commitment to advanced optical measurement infrastructure within Canadian research and development initiatives.
