The National Research Council of Canada is soliciting a high-resolution mid-wave infrared camera system for use on drone and manned aircraft platforms, under solicitation number 26-58030, with a submission deadline of July 13, 2026. This procurement is exclusively reserved for suppliers currently pre-qualified under Supply Arrangement E60PV-19EQUI for laboratory and scientific equipment, parts, accessories, services, and supplies, and no bids from unqualified vendors will be considered. The system must meet sixteen mandatory technical criteria, including a 1920 x 1536 resolution MWIR camera with a spectral range of 1.5 to 5.4 µm, dual 50 mm and 25 mm lenses, and a maximum weight of 7.5 kg. The camera must support real-time processing of RAW, NUC, temperature, and radiance data with frame rates up to 113 Hz at full resolution and 2200 Hz at reduced resolution, and include a motorized filter wheel accommodating four 25.4-mm diameter filters up to 2 mm thick, as well as a flame spectral filter. Control interfaces must include GigE, Camera Link™, and RS232, and the system must be equipped with a Camera Link™ frame grabber and a full 5-meter cable set. It must feature real-time temperature and radiance calibration, automatic exposure control, enhanced high-dynamic-range imaging, and robust time stamping via computer time, GPS, or IRIG external input. The camera must also support advanced triggering functions including IN/OUT, gating, flagging, and pre-trigger recording, be enclosed in an IP67-rated housing rated for operation between -20°C and +50°C, and be calibrated for temperatures from 0°C to 1500°C with accompanying calibration curves. The system must meet IEC 60068-2-27 for mechanical shock and IEC 60068-2-64 for broadband random vibration, and be delivered with comprehensive software development kits and MATLAB and Python routines for data processing. The award will go to the technically compliant bidder offering the lowest aggregate price, with no weighted evaluation factors beyond the mandatory criteria. The procurement is published on the Government Electronic Tendering Service for a 40-day period, and all eligible suppliers must respond through CanadaBuys (SAP Ariba). While the title
