Title

Molecular Simulations for Solid-State Systems (M4S)

Context/Background

Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) - Valcartier Research Centre requires the services of a Contractor to perform molecular simulation for solid-state systems (M4S) capabilities in order to accurately predict electronic, vibrational-rotational and phonon wavelength as well as intensity transitions within the 0.7 to 12 µm region. The quantum mechanics model has to be extendable for other specific chemical and/or physical phenomenon. Potential isotopic modifications of crystalline molecules is of interest in this proposal as well as the fluorescence of solid molecules. Spectral interpretation has to be provided as supporting information to understand the origin of peak intensities, positions and widths in the signature spectra. For any further R&D work in the future, this M4S capability has to be a user-friendly tool.

Client Department

The organization for which the services are to be rendered is Defence Research and Development Canada - Valcartier (DRDC - Valcartier).

Period of the Contract

The period of the Contract is from Contract award to March 31, 2019.

Important Information

i. Defence Research and Development Canada - Valcartier has determined that any intellectual property rights arising from the performance of the Work under the resulting contract will belong to the Contractor.

ii. Bidders must provide a list of names, or other related information as needed, pursuant to section 01 of Standard Instructions 2003.

iii. For services requirements, Bidders in receipt of a pension or a lump sum payment must provide the required information as detailed in article 3 of Part 2 of the bid solicitation.

iv. The requirement is limited to Canadian goods and/or services.

v. The requirement is subject to the provisions of the Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT).

vi. There is no security requirement associated with this requirement.

vii. The Work is divided into two portions, a firm portion and a portion to be performed on an "as and when requested basis" using a Task Authorization (TA).

The estimated amount of available funding for the firm portion of the Work is $50,000.00, Applicable Taxes extra. The estimated amount of available funding for the portion of the Work to be performed on an "as and when requested basis" using a TA is $295,000.00, Applicable Taxes extra.

A contract with Task Authorizations (TAs) is a method of supply for services under which all of the work or a portion of the work will be performed on an "as and when requested basis". Under contracts with TAs, the work to be carried out can be defined but the exact nature and timeframes of the required services, activities and deliverables will only be known as and when the service(s) will be required during the period of the contract. A TA is a structured administrative toolenabling the Crown to authorize work by a contractor on an "as and when requested" basis in accordance with the conditions of the contract. TAs are not individual contracts.
