Description:

Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) requires a profilometer capable of analyzing surface profiles for research purposes. The mandatory technical criteria are as follows:

-Must be capable of measuring the surface profile of specimens with a minimum size of 15 × 15 cm (x and y) and a depth variability of ≤5 cm. This may include automated combination of data.

-Must analyze specimens weighing up to 4 kg.

-Must have an x/y accuracy of ≤5 µm.

-Must have a z (depth) resolution of ≤1 µm.

-Must include a rotational attachment for full circumferential surface scanning of materials such as wire, threads, and cylinders.

-Must record digital optical images of the material surface at low (100×) magnification.

-Must include the ability to digitally map photographic data onto the three-dimensional topography.

-Must export surface profile data in a variety of formats, including .cad, .stl, and text files.

-Must permit subtractive comparison between scanned surfaces or between a scanned surface and a design drawing (CAD or equivalent) to identify discrepancies.

The responsive bidder already holding a Supply arrangement for Laboratory and Scientific Equipment, Parts and Accessories, Services and Supplies from Public Works and Government Services Canada who meets the mandatory technical criteria with the lowest aggregate price will be recommended for contract award.
