	The Department of National Defence, Applied Science Section of
the Quality Engineering Test Establishment, have a requirement
for the supply, installation, commissioning, training, manuals,
software maintenance, software updates of one Handheld FTIR
Spectrometer.   An irrevocable option to purchase Software
maintenace for up to four additional one year periods has been
included.

	The Handheld FTIR Spectrometer is required to conduct in-situ
non-destructive in-field or in-laboratory investigations on
samples that cannot be removed from the equipment that they are
part-of or are too large to be analysed with conventional
in-laboratory equipment.  The spectrometer is intended for the
analysis of many different samples and must therefore be capable
of measurement of reflective, non-reflective, infra-red
absorbing and infra-red scattering samples.

Typical materials to be analysed will be solids, liquids,
greases, pastes, gels such as coatings (liquid or at different
stages of cure or oxidation, etc.), surface contaminants at
sub-micron thicknesses (oil, grease, detergent, corrosion
products, minerals, etc.), polymers (rubber, plastic, fabric,
composites, etc.).

	Delivery will be made to Gatineau, Quebec and is requested on
or before January 29, 2016.

The Handheld FTIR Spectrometer must meet all the requirements
stated in the RFP and as attached in Annex A .

Delivery Date: Above-mentioned
