Acquisition of a High-Volume Active Air Sampler

This tender concerns the acquisition of a high-volume active air sampler for the Université du Québec à Montréal. The procurement falls under the category of scientific instruments and laboratory, measurement, observation, and analysis equipment. The contracting authority, Université du Québec à Montréal, has opted for a direct contract procurement method, citing Article 14, which allows for contracts below the public tender threshold. This indicates a need for a specialized piece of equipment essential for research or monitoring activities conducted by the university. The high-volume active air sampler is typically used for collecting particulate matter from the air over extended periods, enabling detailed analysis of air quality, pollutant levels, or the presence of specific airborne substances. While specific technical specifications for the sampler are not detailed in this notice, the nature of the equipment suggests requirements related to airflow rate, filter compatibility, sampling duration capabilities, and potentially data logging features. The direct contract approach suggests that either a specific model or supplier is known to meet the university's precise needs, or the value of the contract is below the threshold that mandates a more extensive public bidding process. This acquisition is crucial for supporting the scientific endeavors and environmental monitoring initiatives undertaken by the Université du Québec à Montréal.
