AI Contract Overview
The University of Western Ontario is inviting suppliers to submit proposals for the supply and installation of a new Dynamic Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometer (SIMS) to replace an aging instrument currently operated by Surface Science Western. The facility serves both academic and industrial research needs, requiring a high-performance instrument capable of analyzing a broad range of samples—such as minerals, metals, coatings, polymers, and semiconductors—with sensitivity to trace elements at parts per million to parts per billion levels. Key features of the desired instrument include advanced imaging capabilities, high-resolution mass spectrometry, dual ion sources (oxygen and cesium), flexible analysis modes, effective charge compensation, an oxygen flood gun, cooling systems for enhanced light element detection, and a transfer system suitable for air-sensitive samples. It must also manage molecular interferences through various technical options. The procurement process is an open tender method with a submission deadline of May 15, 2026, and an estimated budget nearing CAD $5.9 million plus HST. Interested suppliers must submit their proposals electronically through the University’s Bonfire portal, adhering to detailed submission requirements including technical questionnaires, pricing forms, and documentation on experience, sustainability, and accessibility compliance. The tender is governed by Canadian free trade agreements ensuring open competition, and the contract duration extends through delivery and fulfillment of obligations, with delivery expected in Fall 2026. Post-evaluation, Western may negotiate with shortlisted suppliers. Complete tender documents are available online and provide comprehensive details about mandatory criteria, scoring, and additional contractual options.
