W7714-279012 - Advanced Animal Imaging System

Defence Research and Development Canada, Suffield Research Centre in Ralston, Alberta, is seeking an advanced animal imaging system to support the development of medical countermeasures against biothreat agents under its Science and Technology program. The requirement is for an in vivo optical imaging cabinet system integrated with micro computed tomography capabilities, specifically designed to track and visualize the progression of biothreat agent infections in live mice. This technology is essential to provide the detailed biological data required by regulatory authorities to evaluate and approve these countermeasures for human use. The system must enable high-resolution, non-invasive monitoring of infection dynamics to ensure accurate and reliable outcomes critical to the approval process. The solicitation, titled W7714-279012 - Advanced Animal Imaging System under reference WS5804951060, was posted on August 10, 2026, with a strict response deadline of September 4, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Late submissions will not be accepted under any circumstances. The contract is issued by the Government of Canada through Public Services and Procurement Canada, with Shannon McDonald serving as the primary contracting authority. The place of performance is in Alberta, and all proposals must meet the technical specifications outlined to fulfill the research objectives related to biothreat agent imaging and analysis.
