Description

Trade Agreement: NONE Tendering Procedures: The bidder must supply Canadian goods and/or services Attachment: None Competitive Procurement Strategy: Lowest/Lower Bid Comprehensive Land Claim Agreement: No Nature of Requirements: (a) Title : New lenses for infrared array detectors

(b) Objectives

The overall objective is to enable the efficient use of the MWIR and LWIR detectors of the PIRATES hyper-spectral imager on the AIRIS optical configuration. This is done through the following:

i) Build new lenses for two IR array detectors (one MWIR and one LWIR) to improve detector illumination, its uniformity over detector area while minimizing vignetting.

ii) The spectral band pass of each lens must be: 1) MWIR detector: 2 to 5.3 µm 2) LWIR detector: 2 to 12 µm.

(c) Delivery periods

- The first deliverable (Initial report - Task 1) must be received on or before April 30, 2013. - The second deliverable (Final report - Task 2) must be received on or before Mai 31, 2013. - The third deliverable (Lens elements - Task 3) must be received on or before August 31, 2013. This deliverable is subject to a Work Authorization process.

(d) Client department

Defence Research and Development Canada, Valcartier.

(e) Mandatory technical criteria

CATEGORY A: Bidder's experience

A1 - The bidder must have at least 60 months of experience in the design of infrared optical systems.

In order to demonstrate its compliance with this criterion, the bidder must describe the history of its company. The bidder must also clearly indicate the exact number of months of experience it has in the design of infrared optical systems by describing the projects that it has participated in this area. For each project, the bidder should at least, provide the following information: the title, the objectives, the scope, the project periods (month and year of the beginning and month and year of the end), the exact dates of the involvement and the role of the bidder's company in the project, the tasks performed by the bidder's company and any other relevant information.

A2 - Quality assurance procedure

In order to demonstrate compliance with this criterion, the bidder must describe the quality assurance procedure as it would apply to the resulting contract. In particular, the bidder must indicate the steps in the design and manufacturing processes where quality assurance is done and when, where and by whom the quality assurance process will be executed (example: one senior optical designer, a quality assurance department with two or more optical designers, etc.?)

CATEGORY B: Experience of the main technical resource

The Bidder must demonstrates in its bid that the main technical resource proposed for this contract meets the mandatory technical criteria listed bellow.

The Curriculum Vitae of the main technical resource proposed for this project must be submitted in a format that provides detailed insight into the resource's academic background and work experience.
