Bio-capacitance probe system
Solicitation # 26-58103
The National Research Council of Canada is soliciting a bio-capacitance probe system designed for real-time, in situ measurement of viable cell concentration and dielectric properties in up to four bioreactors operating in parallel. The system must enable multi-frequency scanning to capture the capacitance distribution spectrum of cells, allowing for the calculation of critical parameters such as cell size, internal conductivity, and critical frequency through analysis of the β-dispersion using the Cole–Cole α model. Each probe must be compatible with the variety of bioreactor types used by the NRC, feature leak-tight installation capabilities, withstand sterilization and clean-in-place procedures, and deliver highly accurate bio-capacitance and conductivity measurements. Data from the probes must be accessible in real time via both OPC-UA communication for integration into control systems and 4–20 mA analog signals for direct control loop utilization. The hardware must be new, unused, off-the-shelf, and guaranteed to be free from counterfeit components, delivered DAP to the NRC Montreal facility with all necessary packaging, installation support, and documentation. The contract is awarded on a Lowest Evaluated Price with Mandatory Technical Criteria basis, meaning only offers that fully satisfy all six mandatory technical requirements—probe length, diameter, leak-tight capability, durability under CIP/sterilization, and measurement accuracy for both bio-capacitance and conductivity—are eligible for consideration; failure in any one results in non-responsiveness. The winning bidder will be selected solely on the lowest price among compliant offers, with no trade-offs permitted between technical merit and cost. The system must include software licensed to the Government of Canada under a perpetual, royalty-free, non-exclusive license, and all equipment must be accompanied by compliant documentation and packaging that adheres to Canadian environmental standards, being reusable, recyclable, or returnable. Invoices must be submitted electronically to a designated NRC email address, with payment made via direct deposit, wire transfer, EDI, or MasterCard, subject to a 15% withholding for non-resident contractors. The contractor is required to retain all contract records for seven years after final payment and must certify compliance with Canadian laws, the procurement code of conduct, and the prohibition of contingency fees. No security clearance is required, no key personnel are designated, and there are no contract options for future quantities or extensions. Proposals must be submitted electronically as two separate files—technical and financial—by August 24, 2026, at 14:00 Eastern

Fiber Laser Cutter for Aluminum and Copper
Solicitation # 26-58021
The National Research Council Canada is seeking a high-precision, enclosed fiber-laser cutting system capable of reliably cutting aluminum and copper for battery prototype components through solicitation 26-58021, with a submission deadline of July 27, 2026 at 14:00 EDT. The system must feature a fiber-type laser with a minimum power output of 3000W and a 10:1 operational turn-down ratio, a work area between 400x300mm and 635x635mm, a Z-axis of at least 50mm, and positioning precision of 0.1mm or better. It must cut 4.064mm aluminum and 3.175mm copper at speeds of at least 1m/min, include an auto-tracking laser head, a fully enclosed work area, integrated gas assist support for oxygen, nitrogen, and air, and an active protection system against back-reflected laser energy. The scope includes delivery, installation, commissioning, and training, with all deliverables required to be received at NRC Building U91, 2320 Lester Road, Ottawa, ON K1V 1S2. The system must be delivered under Incoterms® 2020 Delivery at Place (Vancouver, BC), with the vendor responsible for all shipping, customs, and duty costs. Only Canadian suppliers are eligible under the Policy on Reciprocal Procurement, and offers must be submitted electronically in three distinct sealed attachments labeled Technical Offer, Financial Offer, and Forms, with a total message size not exceeding 10MB; compressed files, links, or physical submissions are prohibited. The contract is awarded on the basis of the lowest evaluated price among compliant offers, with all mandatory technical requirements identified with the word “must” serving as pass/fail gates; failure to meet these disqualifies an offer from financial review. Offerors must submit sample cuts within 15 business days of receiving materials, accompanied by a detailed cutting report. Acceptance of the system by Canada requires a formal written request from the contractor, followed by a 30-day inspection period; rejection allows Canada to require corrections at the contractor’s expense without additional cost. Payment terms specify undisputed invoices will be settled within 30 days of receipt in acceptable form, with 15% withholding for non-resident contractors unless a CRA waiver is provided.
