Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), Sault Ste Marie, ON, requires the supply, delivery, installation, software and training of a Collision/Reaction Cell ICP-MS System. The analytical goal is to use the system to analyze water samples and plant and soil extracts. Some elements will be present in high concentrations while other elements will be present in trace amounts. Some of our samples contain variable quantities of analytes from parts-per-trillion to thousands of parts per million levels in matrices high in dissolved solids. As a result, the instrument being considered must clearly demonstrate that it is capable of handling these matrices routinely and without excessive liquid dilution of the samples.

Each bid will be reviewed for compliance with the mandatory requirements of the bid solicitation in Part 4 - Evaluation Procedures and Basis of Selection. Bids that do not meet each and every Mandatory Technical Specifications will be considered non-compliant and will receive no further consideration.

All the deliverables must be received on or before March 31, 2015.
