Multi-year Rental of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV)

Solicitation # RNCan-5000095073

Natural Resources Canada is seeking to lease a deep-water autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) system, specifically a HUGIN 1000 or equivalent, for up to five years with an initial term ending March 31, 2027 and four potential one-year renewal options. The system must be capable of operating at depths of at least 2,000 meters and include containerized support infrastructure, mission planning software, technical documentation, and remote support to enable seafloor mapping, marine geoscience, oceanographic research, and Arctic collaboration activities. The requirement includes maintaining the AUV in operational readiness, providing insurance coverage for the asset and its container, and confirming availability at the start of each lease year. While Université Laval / Amundsen Science is the pre-identified supplier due to its unique capability to meet all mandatory technical criteria—including integrated inertial navigation with Doppler velocity log and acoustic positioning, and scientific sensors such as multibeam echosounder, sidescan sonar, and sub-bottom profiler—other suppliers may still submit a statement of capabilities by August 21, 2026. If a qualified alternative is received, a full competitive evaluation will be triggered. The estimated contract value, including all options, is $800,000 plus GST/HST. The procurement is subject to multiple international trade agreements, and Canada intends to retain ownership of any intellectual property generated. The contract falls under an exception permitting limited tendering as only one supplier is currently capable of fulfilling the technical requirements.

Multi-year Rental of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV)

Solicitation # NRCan-5000095073-0

The Department of Natural Resources Canada, through the Geological Survey of Canada – Atlantic, is seeking to lease a deep-water autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) system on an annual basis for up to five years, with the initial term extending to March 31, 2027. The requirement is for a HUGIN 1000 AUV system or an equivalent, including a climate-controlled 20-foot ISO container for storage and transport, technical documentation, mission planning software, and remote technical support. The system must be capable of operating at depths of at least 2,000 metres, equipped with inertial navigation, Doppler velocity log, and acoustic positioning systems, and able to carry a multibeam echosounder, sidescan sonar, and sub-bottom profiler for high-resolution seafloor mapping and marine geoscience research. The contractor must maintain the system in operationally ready condition, provide comprehensive insurance coverage for the AUV and container, and confirm readiness at the start of each lease year. The estimated value of the contract, including all options, is $800,000, excluding GST/HST. Université Laval, operating as Amundsen Science, has been pre-identified as the sole supplier capable of meeting all mandatory technical and operational requirements, justifying a limited tendering approach under multiple trade agreements including the CFTA, CETA, CPTPP, and others. This procurement invokes exceptions under these agreements citing the absence of any other capable supplier. Interested parties may submit a statement of capabilities by August 21, 2026, demonstrating how they meet the specified minimum essential requirements. If a qualified alternative proposal is received, a competitive evaluation will be triggered. Ownership of any resulting foreground intellectual property will remain with Canada, given the public dissemination purpose of the research.

This solicitation, numbered NRCan-5000045352/F, is a Request for Supply Arrangement issued by Natural Resources Canada to pre-qualify suppliers for professional services related to airborne topographic LiDAR data acquisition, classification, and inspection, as well as the acquisition of supporting aerial orthophotos. It supersedes all prior versions of this solicitation and is posted on CanadaBuys.gc.ca to allow new suppliers to become eligible for inclusion in a standing supply arrangement. The award of a Supply Arrangement does not constitute a binding contract but establishes a pool of qualified vendors from which individual task orders may be issued later through a separate bid solicitation process. Suppliers may qualify in one or more of four work categories: acquisition and classification of new LiDAR data and orthophotos, classification of existing LiDAR data, inspection of existing LiDAR classifications, and acquisition of aerial imagery supporting LiDAR projects. The Statement of Work outlines detailed deliverables including classified LAS or LAZ files, metadata conforming to NRCan templates, shapefiles of project areas, quality assurance reports, and project planning and progress documentation. All deliverables must meet strict technical accuracy standards and be submitted on time, with acceptance categorized into full acceptance, acceptance with minor changes, conditional acceptance requiring a recovery plan, or non-acceptance for significant deficiencies. All proposals must be submitted via the Canada Post Connect service to procurement-approvisionnement@NRCan-RNCan.gc.ca with a maximum file size of 1GB per message and 20GB per conversation. Proposals must be organized into four electronic sections: Technical Arrangement demonstrating compliance, Certifications from Part 5 including mandatory integrity declarations and Indigenous business certifications if applicable, a signed first page of the RFP, and shapefiles. Suppliers claiming Indigenous business status must complete certification documents but are not required to submit proof at submission—they must be prepared to provide it upon request. The arrangement applies the General Conditions for Supply Arrangements modified to reflect Natural Resources Canada as the contracting authority, along with Professional Services - Medium Complexity and Higher Complexity - Services clauses depending on the complexity of the task order. Performance is monitored through quarterly reporting on all call-ups, including contract numbers, values, services rendered, and contracting authorities, using a Performance Report Card that evaluates both technical content and timeliness. Non-compliance with mandatory requirements, failure to submit required certifications, or delivery failures without approved recovery plans will result in non-responsiveness or removal from the arrangement.

The focus is on technical compliance with mandatory pass/fail evaluation criteria for each category, without explicit weighting or price consideration indicated in the award process. Key contract requirements emphasize the appointment of a qualified Primary Resource to lead testing operations and interface with NRCan, with any personnel changes requiring prior approval. Integrity provisions mandate submission of an Integrity Declaration Form, disclosure of ownership and control, and adherence to conflict of interest policies, with non-compliance leading to potential disqualification or contract termination.
