25181-Acquisition of consoles and a double-tilt sample holder for transmission electron microscopes

This tender concerns the acquisition of specialized equipment for transmission electron microscopes, specifically consoles and a double-tilt sample holder. The procurement falls under Category G27, which covers scientific instruments, and also includes adjustment knobs for microscopes. The procurement method specified is a negotiated contract, citing Article 13, Paragraph 2°, which allows for a single contractor due to reasons such as warranty, proprietary rights, or exclusive rights. This suggests that the required equipment or its components may be exclusively available from a single supplier, or that specific technical compatibility or warranty requirements necessitate a sole source procurement. The contracting authority for this tender is the Ministère de l'Environnement, de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques, de la Faune et des Parcs (Ministry of Environment, Wildlife and Parks). This acquisition is crucial for enhancing the capabilities of transmission electron microscopy within the ministry's operations, likely supporting research, environmental monitoring, or wildlife studies that rely on high-resolution imaging and sample manipulation. The focus on a double-tilt sample holder indicates a need for advanced sample positioning and analysis, allowing for detailed examination of specimens from multiple angles. The negotiated contract approach highlights the specific and potentially unique nature of the required scientific instruments.

This is a supplies contract in the Research and general supplies sectors, with a focus on R&D equipment and General Supplies. Located in Canada, North America, this opportunity is open to firms and consortiums.
