Description

The National Research Council of Canada (NRC) requires the procurement of temperature cycling chambers to support the thermal evaluation of advanced energy storage technologies. As lithium-ion battery systems continue to increase in energy density and are deployed across transportation, aerospace, and stationary energy storage applications, controlled temperature testing is essential to understand how these systems perform under a range of environmental conditions. Temperature cycling chambers provide a controlled thermal environment in which battery cells, modules, and associated components can be exposed to defined temperature conditions during operation. This capability enables the evaluation of battery performance, reliability, and durability while operating across the temperature ranges encountered in real-world applications. The objective of this procurement is to provide the Automotive and Surface Transportation (AST) team with the capability to conduct controlled temperature testing of battery system and system reliability. The AST team operates a unique Canadian facility dedicated to evaluating battery cells and modules well beyond their normal operating envelopes. This procurement will enhance our laboratory infrastructure to meet the rigorous testing demands of the military, aerospace, and light-duty transportation sectors. All deliverables must be received no later than 18 weeks after contract award.. UNSPSC: *Laboratory and scientific equipment (*41100000). Method: Competitive - Open bidding. Selection: Lowest Price.
