University of Alberta - Request for Proposal - Demineralization Pressure Vessel Fabrication

The University of Alberta is seeking proposals for the fabrication of four demineralization pressure vessels to replace aging equipment in its Heating Plant utilities system. These vessels are critical components for water treatment and must be manufactured to meet precise technical specifications required for reliable, long-term operation in a high-pressure industrial environment. The solicitation, identified as AB-2026-05444, is open to qualified vendors capable of delivering fully fabricated units without additional services such as installation or maintenance. Bidders must submit their proposals by August 18, 2026, at 8:00 PM Mountain Time, with the request posted on July 31, 2026. All proposals must adhere to the university’s procurement guidelines and technical requirements for pressure vessel fabrication. The place of performance is in Alberta, Canada, and while no specific city or postal code is provided, the vessels will be installed at the Heating Plant location. The primary point of contact for questions and clarifications is Paul Wain, Procurement Specialist, reachable via phone at 780-492-2000 or email at paul.wain@ualberta.ca. This procurement does not involve set-asides or specific NAICS codes, and the university is seeking competitive bids from vendors with demonstrated capability in industrial pressure vessel manufacturing.
