Trade Agreement: NAFTA/AIT/Canada FTAs with Peru/Colombia/Panama
Tendering Procedures: All interested suppliers may submit a bid
Competitive Procurement Strategy:
Comprehensive Land Claim Agreement: No
Nature of Requirements:
PORTABLE DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM
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
Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC), on behalf of its client, Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC), is proposing to negotiate the supply of a Portable Data Acquisition System.
DRDC own a Dewetron DEWE2-A7 Portable Data Acquisition System to update instrumentation in its laboratories. In order to continue to update this instrumentation, DRDC wishes to acquire a second system identical or equivalent to DEWE2-A7. The new system must be compatible with the Dewetron DEWE2-A7 and be commercially available (COTS).
The goal of having two identical systems will serve to:
- Have a bank of modules for both systems.
- Connect these two systems in order to have a system with remote inputs (which reduces the length of cable between the sensor and the acquisition system).
The two acquisition systems will be used jointly in different laboratories for data acquisition during tests of :
- Rocket engine with static pressure, dynamic pressure, forces, temperatures.
- Measurement of dynamic pressures in rifle barrels.
- Measurement of forces and pressures in a tri-sonic wind tunnel.
Here are some types of sensors used:
- ICP Piezoelectric Pressure Sensor
- Pressure sensor with strain gauges
- ICP piezoelectric force sensor
- Thermocouples different types K, T, J
- Rotary Encoder
- Reading of different status sensors (TTL or 24vdc)
3. Criteria for assessment of the Statement of Capabilities (Minimum Essential Requirements)
