AI Contract Overview

The University of Western Ontario is inviting qualified suppliers to submit proposals for the supply and installation of a state-of-the-art Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometer (ToF-SIMS) to replace its aging 1999 ION-TOF model IV system. This advanced instrument will serve as Canada’s premier research-grade ToF-SIMS platform, significantly enhancing surface analysis capabilities at Surface Science Western with sub-micron spatial resolution, 50 nm lateral and 1 nm depth resolution, and ppm-ppb detection limits. It will enable high-resolution 2D and 3D chemical mapping, in-situ depth profiling with gas cluster ion sources, and precise characterization of both organic and inorganic species across diverse research domains including hydrogen degradation mechanisms, biomaterials, semiconductors, advanced energy materials, corrosion science, polymer science, and geoscience. Particular emphasis is placed on hydrogen detection and its interaction with defects and impurities in materials, supporting critical work in hydrogen systems and infrastructure integrity. The estimated budget for the project is CAD $5,469,075 plus HST, with delivery expected in Fall 2026 and the agreement duration tied to successful installation and fulfillment of all contractual obligations. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the Bonfire hub portal by July 7, 2026 at 12:00 PM ET, and must include mandatory documentation such as the Submission Form, Rate Bid Form, Reference Form, Technical Requirements Questionnaire, and Sustainability Documentation. Evaluation will assess Experience and Qualifications, Technical and Functional Requirements, Service and Support, Value-Added Ideas, Sustainability, Accessibility under AODA, and Pricing, with only shortlisted suppliers invited to present. The procurement is subject to the Canadian Free Trade Agreement and the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement, and all submissions must be in English. Suppliers are advised to consult the full tender documents on Bonfire hub for complete requirements, as they supersede any details in this notice, and may need to access additional materials through Merx.com.

Full Description

Suppliers can find the complete tender document(s), at no cost, on: https://uwo.bonfirehub.ca. Procuring Entity: University of Western Ontario (Western) Procurement Services 1151 Richmond Street London, Ontario, Canada, N6A 3K7 Contact: Erica Watson ewatso25@uwo.ca Procurement Method: Open tender whereby all interested Suppliers may submit a Proposal. Description: The RFP is an invitation to submit offers for the provision of The Supply and Install of a Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometer (ToF-SIMS), as further described herein. Surface Science Western (SSW) at Western University currently operates an ION-TOF GmbH Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometer (ToF-SIMS) model IV, which has one of the most active user bases at SSW, spanning both academic and industrial research. The proposed instrument would replace the aging ION-TOF IV (1999) as the state-of-the-art research grade instrument in Canada and will significantly enhance SSW’s capabilities for high-resolution chemical imaging, precise molecular surface characterization, and detection of trace species, complementing existing techniques, such as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electron microscopy. ToF-SIMS enables both routine and advanced surface chemical analyses and speciation capabilities with sub-micron spatial resolution and mass resolution, as well as low ppm-ppb detection limits. The system features small-scale imaging, in-situ depth profiling using gas cluster ion sources, 2D and 3D chemical mapping, and the ability to analyze both inorganic and organic species with high sensitivity. Additional capabilities of the proposed instrument include charge compensation and excellent lateral and depth resolution (50 nm and 1 nm, respectively). As a core technique for surface-sensitive chemical and molecular analysis, the new ToF-SIMS instrument will be applied across a broad range of materials and research disciplines, including hydrogen degradation mechanisms, biomaterials, advanced energy materials, semiconductors, critical minerals and geoscience, polymer science, corrosion science, and other advanced manufacturing. The foremost area of research will be hydrogen systems and the detection of hydrogen to understand the location and co-location (with defects, impurities, inclusions) of hydrogen in various experimental tests. The applications of ToF-SIMS to mapping steel microstructure, investigating coating systems designed to reduce hydrogen-promoted degradation, and investigation of corrosion and oxidation processes are of particular interest. ToF-SIMS supports both fundamental research and industrial problem-solving at SSW, providing unique insights into surface composition, contamination, interfaces, and chemical heterogeneity at the micro- and nanoscale. The new ToF-SIMS instrument will be unique to Canada and an essential tool supporting the proposed hydrogen analysis platform. Budget: The estimated budget for this project is CAD $5,469,075 plus HST.
