AI Contract Overview
The National Research Council of Canada intends to award a contract for the supply of a single-unit Single-Photon Avalanche Diode (SPAD) camera designed to support advanced 3D imaging research in extreme lighting conditions, such as very low-light environments and scenes with high dynamic range illumination. This specialized camera must meet strict technical specifications, including at least 320 pixels in a linear array, operation within the 400-900 nm wavelength range, a peak photon detection probability of 50% or higher, specific timing and gating capabilities, a low dark count rate, external laser clock triggering, USB3 connectivity compatible with Windows 10, C/CS-mount compatibility, and integration options for LabVIEW, Matlab, Python, and C++. The estimated contract value is approximately $38,250 USD, excluding taxes, with delivery expected by March 31, 2026. This procurement is conducted as an Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN) to allow other potential suppliers to submit statements of capabilities by January 29, 2026, 2:00 PM EST, affirming their ability to meet the requirements. However, the contract is intended for award to a pre-identified supplier, Axiom Optics Inc., based in Cambridge, MA, as they are the only known manufacturer capable of meeting the technical requirements. The procurement is subject to the Canadian Free Trade Agreement, with exceptions invoked due to the uniqueness of the supplier and lack of competition for technical reasons. Interested suppliers may submit their capabilities or inquiries to the Senior Procurement Officer, Kelsie Trafford, by the stated deadline.
