(1.0) 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.

(2.0) Definition of the requirement: The National Research Council Canada has a requirement for two (2) front illuminated scientific CMOS (sCMOS) cameras that will provide high signal to noise ratios in our images which is critical for statistically exploitable thermographic phosphor measurements. To achieve this, the sCMOS cameras must have a high spectral sensitivity from the UV to IR, high signal linearity, low dark current and read noise, high dynamic range, and multiple binning options. The cameras must operate with a true global (snapshot) shutter to accurately image the high velocity reacting and non-reacting flows we are studying, allow for full control of acquisition parameters, high frame acquisition rate with USB 3.0 connectivity, and seamless integration with our existing LABVIEW control software.

(3.0) Mandatory requirements /functionalities Scientific CMOS cameras must meet the below listed mandatory requirements/functionalities: • Sensor type: Front illuminated sCMOS • Active pixels (W x H) 2560 x 2160 (5.5 Megapixel) • Sensor size: 16.6 x 14.0 mm (21.8 mm diagonal) • Pixel Size: 6.5 um • Pixel readout rate (MHz): 200 (100 MHz x 2 sensor halves), 560 (280 MHz x 2 sensor halves) • Read noise (e-) Median [rms] a. Rolling shutter: @ 200 MHz 0.9 [1.2], @ 560 MHz 1.2 [1.6] b. Global Shutter @ 200 MHz 2.3 [2.5], @ 560 MHz 2.4 [2.6] • Peak Quantum Efficiency: 60% (sensitive from UV to IR) • TE cooling to 0° C in 35°C ambient, water cooling to -10°C • Dark Current : 0,14é/pixel/sec ( at 0°C Air Cooled) - with Dark Noise Suppression Technology a. 0,019é/pixel/sec ( at -10°C Water Cooled) • Linearity of 99,8% full Light Range • Linearity of 99,9% Low light range (
