Health Canada has a requirement for the supply of one (1) microscope for delivery to Ottawa, Ontario. The delivery is required by 31st March 2015.
The required equipment must have bench top operability to allow work in a laboratory without a dedicated dark room. The new instrument must have a range of optical acquisition objectives with magnification from 2x-100x to acquire structural features of tissues at low magnification as well as virally-labelled culture and cell preparations at high amplification. The new instrument must be capable of acquiring data at a minimum of 100x optical magnification to acquire images of virally labelled cell and sub-cellular structures without the data loss seen with digital zooming of images acquired at lower optical magnification. The new instrument must be capable of phase-contrast microscopy to obtain images for overlay under the optimum acquisition parameters that would include phase-contrast for some samples.
The only known supplier of a microscope meeting all required technical specifications is the EVOS FL from Life Technologies . For this reason, it is proposed to negotiate directly with the original supplier, Life Technologies, Burlington, Ontario.
Delivery Date: 12/01/2015
You are hereby notified that the government intends to negotiate with one firm only as identified above. Should you have any questions concerning this requirement, contact the contracting officer identified above.
An Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN) allows departments and agencies to post a notice, for no less than fifteen (15) calendar days, indicating to the supplier community that it intends to award a good, service or construction contract to a pre-identified contractor. If no other supplier submits, on or before the closing date, a Statement of Capabilities that meets the requirements set out in the ACAN, the contracting authority may then proceed with the award. However, should a Statement of Capabilities be found to meet the requirements set out in the ACAN, then the contracting authority will proceed to a full tendering process.
Suppliers who consider themselves fully qualified and available to provide the services/goods described herein, may submit a statement of capabilities in writing to the contact person identified in this Notice on or before the closing date of this Notice. The statement of capabilities must clearly demonstrate how the supplier meets the advertised requirements.
The PWGSC file number, the contracting officer's name and the closing date of the ACAN must appear on the outside of the envelope in block letters or, in the case of a facsimile transmission, on the covering page.
