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.

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.
