    BACKGROUND:

    Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) is mandated to support the Canadian Armed Forces in their electro-optical system acquisition process by translating their operational needs into technical data, evaluating sensor performance or evaluating the potential of emerging technologies. DRDC also intends to study electro-optical (EO) systems for the protection of military platforms (air, ground and sea) and their occupants. These electro-optical technologies require proximity electronics to be integrated into them in order to evaluate them or extend their range, and in order to integrate EO systems into these platforms.

    The goal of this Request for Standing Offers is to issue standing offers to obtain qualified professional and scientific resources in the electro-optical and infrared (EO-IR) field, where necessary, to support DRDC research and development (R&D) activities. These services could cover the design, development or manufacture of specific elements, including characterization or software development.

    Standing offers pursuant to this requirement will be made available to all DRDC Research Centres working with EO-IR technologies. For your information, the vast majority of the required professional and scientific services in R&D will be concentrated at the Valcartier Research Centre, in the Québec City area.

    The requirement is subject to the provisions of the Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA), formerly known as the Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT).

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