National Research Council of Canada has a requirement for the
supply of one (1) Linear Pyrometer LP5. For delivery to Ottawa,
Ontario by January 15, 2013.

This instrument will be used to measure the temperature of the
phase change in metal-carbon eutectic fixed point blackbodies
(HTFPs).

The required equipment is the only commercially available
instrument that can meet the following key requirements:
The imaging spot size must be 1 mm at 700 mm measuring distance
to be able to resolve the apertures of High Temperature Fixed
Point (HTFPs).
The instrument must be stable and not drift in signal. This is
achieved by having all key components (optics, filters, detector
and signal electronics) sealed in thermally controlled internal
ovens and no moving parts in the entire system.
Have a temperature measurement range of 700 to 3200°C with
extremely low uncertainties.
The spectral sensitivity (interference filter) must centered at
650 nm with a full-width half maximum bandwidth near 10 nm.
Have an extremely high signal to noise ratio to be able to
accurately resolve 0.003°C at 1500°C.
Deviation of the photocurrent linearity of < 100 ppm.
The measured temperature must not be affected by heating of the
optics due to exposure to bright sources (e.g high-temperature
blackbodies at 2500°C and above).

The only known supplier of an LinearPyrometer LP5 meeting all
reqiured technical specifications is KE Technologie GMBH. For
this reason it is proposed to negotiate this requirement on a
sole source basis with KE Technologie GMBH.
Delivery Date: Above-mentioned

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.

The Crown retains the right to negotiate with suppliers on any
procurement.

Documents may be submitted in either official language of Canada.
