AI Contract Overview

Show more

The National Research Council of Canada (NRC) is seeking the supply of two advanced resistance calibration suites designed to measure electrical resistance with an extremely high degree of precision, traceable to fundamental constants and achieving an uncertainty of 3 parts per billion or better. These integrated quantum resistance systems are crucial for supporting electrical standards, the realization of the kilogram, and scientific research in mass and electrical metrology. Each suite consists of a Quantum Hall Resistance (QHR) standard, a cryogenic current comparator (CCC), associated electronics, control software, and cryogenic systems that operate without the need for liquid helium. The first system will feature a compact, simplified design intended for integration with the existing NRC Kibble balance equipment, enabling mass traceability aligned with the kilogram definition and incorporating a QHR sample array with multiple calculable resistance values. The second system is tailored for low-temperature research and calibration applications, capable of accommodating a variety of QHR sample types with operation at temperatures as low as 1.3 K or below, maintaining high stability and a minimum magnetic field strength of 9 Tesla. Both systems will be outfitted with all necessary components to ensure full functionality of the QHR and CCC equipment. Responses to this solicitation are due by March 20, 2026, and the location of performance is Ontario, Canada.

Full Description

Show more
The National Research Council of Canada (NRC) has a requirement for the supply of two resistance calibration suites able to allow measurement of resistance traceably to fundamental constants with an uncertainty of 3 parts per billion [ppb], or better. This is in support of the realization of the kilogram, electrical standards and research. The combined and integrated quantum resistance suite is a critical tool for electrical and mass metrology allowing measurement and calibration of resistance down to a level of 3 ppb or better, across a range of resistance values. It is an integrated system comprised of a Quantum Hall Resistance (QHR) standard and a cryogenic current comparator (CCC), with associated electronics, and cryogenic systems that allow system operation without need for liquid helium supply. Each system must include a QHR standard system and a CCC supplied as an integrated unit with supporting electronics and control software. The first system (A) will be a simplified, compact system of small footprint that will be integrated to the existing NRC Kibble balance equipment and will enable mass traceability to the definition of the kilogram. This system shall be provided with a QHR sample array with multiple resistance values that can be calculated directly from fundamental constants. The second system (B) shall be provided for low temperature research and calibration, able to accommodate a broad set of QHR sample types and therefore able to reach 1.3 K or lower with high stability and with a minimum magnetic field strength of 9 Tesla. All systems shall be provided with all the necessary appurtenances needed to operate the QHR and the CCC equipment.

Masonry Conservation S-77 Sections A and B
Solicitation # 26-58147
The National Research Council Canada is soliciting bids for masonry conservation services at Building S-77, located at 100 Sussex Drive in Ottawa. The project focuses on restoring the building envelope and preventing further deterioration of the facade, which primarily consists of Wallace sandstone with a Scotstown granite pedestiment. The scope of work includes stone descaling, repointing of the parapet and floors 1 through 3, stone resetting, and conservation of the exterior face of original multi-lite steel casement windows, along with localized repairs to sealant and flashing. The estimated contract value ranges from 500,001 to 2,000,000 dollars. The contract will be awarded to the responsive bidder with the lowest price following a two-step evaluation process consisting of a pass/fail technical review and a subsequent financial evaluation. Bidders must provide a technical submission and a financial submission, including bid security, a list of subcontractors, and certifications for Canadian materials. Awarded contractors are required to provide performance and labour and material payment bonds, as well as proof of insurance. Performance will be monitored based on workmanship, project management, and health and safety standards, with unsatisfactory results potentially leading to the suspension of future bidding privileges. All materials must be handled and stored according to strict quality and weather protection standards, and the contractor is responsible for all transportation costs.
