ULTRASONIC ELLIPTICAL CUTTING UNIT
1. Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN)
An ACAN is a public notice indicating to the supplier community that adepartment or agency intends to award a contract for goods, services or construction to a pre-identified supplier, thereby allowing other suppliers to signal their interest in bidding, by submitting a statement of capabilities. If no supplier submits a statement of capabilities that meets the requirements set out in the ACAN, on or before the closing date stated in the ACAN, the contracting officer may then proceed with the award to the pre-identified supplier.
2. Definition of the requirement
The National Resource Council (NRC) has a requirement for the supply and delivery of one (1) Ultrasonic Elliptical Cutting Unit.
The Specialty Coatings and Microfabrication Team at NRC Automotive and Surface Transportation in London, ON, Canada-(AST-London) is initiating new research activities in the area of high performance, precision, and surface quality of high-value tooling with functional features and geometries, e.g. 3D free-form geometries of moulds and dies for the automotive industry. The research is focused on the development of unassisted (self-controlled), multi-axis, versatile material removal technology for fabrication of complex 3D core/cavities inserts and stamps (e.g. for automotive optics) with high accuracy, precision and no-secondary-polishing-required surface finish from difficult-to-machine materials. The main criterion for choosing equipment for this research and development is the ability to fabricate geometric features, surfaces and geometries from ferrous and difficult-to-machine materials with optical surface quality (Ra
