Technical Training Delivery for Research Staff

The contract requires the delivery of hands-on technical training to National Research Council of Canada researchers on the operation of the AVITI24 system, with a focus on multiomics workflows, data acquisition procedures, and fundamental troubleshooting techniques. Training must be practical and tailored to the specific needs of research staff to ensure proficiency in using the equipment effectively within their scientific workflows. The work is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 611430, indicating it falls under other higher education services, and is expected to be performed in Ontario, excluding the National Capital Region. The solicitation was posted on May 14, 2026, with a response deadline of May 29, 2026, leaving a narrow window for interested parties to submit proposals. Although the agency responsible is the National Research Council of Canada under the Government of Canada, no specific point of contact or detailed location beyond the regional requirement is provided. The contract does not have a set-aside designation, meaning all eligible contractors may compete without restrictions, and the place of performance will be in Ontario, but not in the Ottawa-Gatineau area, suggesting training may occur at one or more NRC facilities outside the national capital region.
