W7707-257379 - Handheld Active Thermal Infrared Spectroradiometer Design and Development

The Government of Canada, through Public Works and Government Services Canada on behalf of Defence Research and Development Canada’s Valcartier Research Centre, is seeking proposals for the design and development of a handheld active thermal infrared spectroradiometer operating in the long-wave infrared spectrum. The device must be engineered for comfortable, unassisted handheld use without requiring external mounting, with strict constraints on size, weight, and power consumption to ensure field usability. The solicitation, identified as WS5644571210, targets advanced engineering solutions that meet the operational needs of military and defense applications, aligned with the detailed technical requirements outlined in the Statement of Work annex. Proposals must be submitted by July 24, 2026, at 14:00 Eastern Time, with the contract awarded under NAICS code 541715 for research and development in physical, engineering, and life sciences. The place of performance is in Quebec, Canada, and all correspondence should be directed to Gabrielle St-Hilaire Castonguay, the primary point of contact at PWGSC. This solicitation is open to federal procurement under the Government of Canada’s acquisition framework, with no set-aside provisions specified, and is intended to foster innovation in portable remote sensing technology for defense-related environmental and material analysis.
