Thermal Imaging Cameras

The Department of National Defence is seeking to procure four handheld thermal imaging cameras to enhance training and validate specialist capabilities, with all equipment required to fully comply with stringent technical specifications including a minimum 640x480 pixel IR detector resolution, thermal sensitivity no greater than 50mK at 30°C, pixel pitch of 12 μm or less, temperature measurement accuracy within ±2°C or 2% of reading, and a operational range from -20°C to 1000°C. Devices must be new, conform to the latest specifications as of the offer closing date, and be delivered Delivered Duty Paid to Petawawa, Ontario, no later than September 1, 2026, with each unit accompanied by two batteries, one charger, a hard transport case, lens covers, and an English manual, and backed by a one-year warranty. The solicitation, identified as W6399-27-SS06, is open exclusively to electronic submissions via email to the Contracting Authority, Mélanie Crocker, with proposals must be structured into three sections—technical, financial, and administrative—and accompanied by completed Annexes including the Offer Submission Form and Offeror Declaration Form. All offerors, including joint venture members, must possess a valid Business Number and cannot be on the Federal Contractors Program’s limited eligibility list, and must certify compliance with the Ineligibility and Suspension Policy, Conflict of Interest Act, and anti-forced labour standards, with false certifications leading to default termination. The award will be made on the lowest evaluated price among technically compliant offers, with mandatory pass/fail gates for solicitation and technical requirements, and non-conforming proposals will be rejected outright. Invoicing must follow strict formats detailing itemization, taxes, delivery method, and financing codes, with payment made within 30 days of receipt of a compliant invoice, and late payments incur interest at the average rate plus three percent annually. The Contractor must maintain an accounting system, retain records for seven years post-final payment or until claims are resolved, and allow Canada full audit access. Packaging must adhere to environmentally preferable standards per ISO 21067-1:2016, with tape excluded due to lack of alternatives. Compliance with international sanctions, the Code of Conduct for Procurement, and employment equity obligations is mandatory, and any failure to meet ongoing certifications or sanctions requirements constitutes default. The Contractor assumes full responsibility for insurance, transportation costs, and delivery compliance regardless of
