Science Infrastructure Units Design

The contract, titled Science Infrastructure Units Design, involves the engineering design of modular units to be integrated into aircraft for environmental research missions, specifically supporting the installation and operation of sensors, data acquisition systems, and power distribution infrastructure. The work requires precise engineering to ensure compatibility, reliability, and performance under the demanding conditions of airborne scientific operations, with an emphasis on modularity for adaptability across different mission profiles and sensor configurations. The units must be engineered to meet stringent aviation standards while enabling seamless data flow and stable power delivery throughout the duration of research flights. Issued by the National Research Council of Canada under the Government of Canada, the contract is classified as a subcontract with a NAICS code of 541330, indicating it falls under engineering services. The solicitation was posted on July 15, 2026, with a response deadline of July 22, 2026, limiting the window for submissions to one week. Performance of the work is expected to occur within Canada, reflecting a national focus on domestic aerospace and environmental research capabilities. This opportunity is not subject to any set-aside program, and participation is open to qualified contractors capable of delivering advanced, integrated scientific infrastructure for airborne platforms.
