Large Slurry Mixer
Solicitation # 26-58201
The National Research Council of Canada, through its Clean Energy Innovation Research Centre in Boucherville, Québec, has issued Request for Information 26-58201 to identify commercially available large slurry mixers. The objective is to scale up current laboratory capabilities by approximately ten times to support the preparation of viscous battery electrode slurries for lithium-ion and emerging battery chemistries. The NRC is seeking systems that offer high-performance planetary and dispersive mixing, vacuum-assisted degassing, temperature control, and automated process monitoring. The equipment must be compatible with specific solvents, including water, N-Methylpyrrolidone, Gamma-Valerolactone, Dimethylformamide, and Dimethyl Sulfoxide, and must be designed for safe operation by a single user without the need for manual lifting of mixing components. This RFI is intended for market research to inform future technical requirements and does not constitute a formal bid solicitation or a commitment to award a contract. The NRC has provided a budgetary estimate of 350,000 to 400,000 CAD for the equipment and delivery, with an additional 30,000 CAD estimated for installation. Interested respondents must submit their information electronically to Veronica Exari by the deadline of November 16, 2026. Submissions should include estimated delivery lead times and details regarding the vendor's ability to provide on-site support in Boucherville, Québec.

Chemical Beam Epitaxy (CBE) Growth System for III-V Semiconductors
Solicitation # 26-58143
The National Research Council of Canada has issued a Request for Proposal under solicitation number 26-58143 for the supply, delivery, installation, and commissioning of a modernized Chemical Beam Epitaxy (CBE) growth system. This system is intended to replace legacy epitaxial infrastructure and must provide an ultra-high vacuum environment optimized for high-precision growth of III-V compound semiconductors, including Phosphide, Arsenide, and Antimonide-based materials. Key technical requirements include advanced transfer-system automation, high-resolution in-situ monitoring such as RHEED, and integrated safety interfaces for handling toxic gases. The project also includes the provision of a crane system and five years of software and technical support, with a final delivery and commissioning deadline of January 7, 2028, at the NRC site in Ottawa, Ontario. Eligibility is restricted to Canadian suppliers and those from applicable trading partners under the Policy on Reciprocal Procurement. The contract will be awarded based on the highest combined rating of technical merit (45%) and price (30%), with Canadian value-added serving as the tie-breaker. For evaluation purposes, a 10% price reduction will be applied to compliant offers from Canadian suppliers. Proposals must be submitted electronically by November 9, 2026, at 14:00 EST, and must be divided into five distinct sections, ensuring that financial information is kept strictly separate from the technical offer to avoid disqualification. The procurement also mandates adherence to environmentally preferable packaging specifications and requires the successful vendor to meet specific security and insurance obligations.
