Nature of Requirements:
1. Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN)
An ACAN is a public notice indicating to the supplier community that a department 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
2.1 Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), Climate Research Division has a requirement for the supply of one Portable solar-tracking Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR).
2.2 OPTIONAL GOODS:
ECCC may require up to 3 additional FTIRs over the next 2 years.
3. Criteria for assessment of the Statement of Capabilities (Minimum Essential Requirements)
Compact and rugged design, total weight (including tracker) below 35kg and size smaller than 0.2m3.
Note: Requirement for additional cooling, chillers or LN2 cooling is not acceptable as these mobile instruments will be used in remote areas of Canada e.g. Fort McKay First Nation Community/Oski-otin site (Northern Alberta), where LN2 cannot be provided frequently and where ECCC does not have infrastructure to maintain a LN2 storage. Additional chillers are not acceptable as they would require additional power to be operated, which is not available at remote locations
Automatic integrated/integrateable solar tracker with optical feedback system for auto-alignment (e.g. camera-based tracker);
Option for power supply for at least one day of measurements in remote areas without access to electricity grid (e.g. through battery pack provided by manufacturer). Portable generators emitting greenhouse gases are not acceptable;
Integrated detectors for column-averaged gas dry air mole fraction (DMF): XCO2, XCH4, XCO (and optional XN2O) for solar spectroscopy (NIR or MIR range). DMF must be calculable based on O2 total columns measured in the same instrument;
Demonstrate repeatability of measurements of XCO2
