Trade Agreement: NAFTA/AIT/Canada FTAs with Peru/Colombia/Panama
Tendering Procedures: Generally only one firm has been invited to bid
Non-Competitive Procurement Strategy: Exclusive Rights
Comprehensive Land Claim Agreement: No
Vendor Name and Address:
The Optikon Corporation Ltd.
1099 Guelph St.
Kitchener Ontario
Canada
N2B2E4
Nature of Requirements:
Portable Extended NIR Spectroradiometer Measurement Kit
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 constructionto 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
Public Works and Government Services Canada, on behalf of its client Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) - Valcartier Research Center, intends to negotiate with Optikon Corporation Ltd, for the supply and delivery at Quebec City of one (1) portable extended near-infrared (NIR) spectroradiometer measurement kit, including hardware, accessories, and operating software.
DRDC - Valcartier Research Center requires an extended NIR spectroradiometer measurement kit with a versatility such that measurements of different nature may be performed by changing the instrument configuration (irradiance/illuminance, radiance/luminance, radiant intensity/candelas, radiant flux/lumens). A variable bandwidth is required to resolve the spectral profile of narrow band sources with more precision (using a smaller bandwidth) or get more throughput for broadband sources (using a larger bandwidth) without changing instruments or measuring spot size. Measurements are to be performed in the field as well as in a controlled laboratory environment for various light measurement applications.
3. Criteria for assessment of the Statement of Capabilities (Minimum Essential Requirements)
DRDC - Valcartier Research Center requires an extended NIR spectroradiometer measurement kit that satisfies the following technical criteria:
1- The spectroradiometer wavelength range must respect the following boundaries:
- Lower wavelength limit: between > or equal 300 nm and 1070 nm and or equal 1 nm and or equal 5 nm and or equal 10 nm and 6 hours of continuous operation.
- Dimensions:
