National Research Council of Canada (NRC) - Ottawa, Ontario
The National Research Council of Canada (NRC) appears to be seeking a laser facet coating system—described in the notice as a Dual Ion Beam Sputter Deposition (DIBS) laser facet coating system—for the Canadian Photonics Fabrication Centre in Ottawa, Ontario. The equipment is intended for a new ISO 6 clean-room facility that will support production of “known good die” from indium phosphide (InP) wafers. The broader goal is to improve photonic-device manufacturing by applying back-end coatings before dicing and packaging, helping reduce production time, costs, and defective finished parts. This opportunity may be relevant to businesses that supply, integrate, install, or support specialized laser facet coating and related semiconductor or photonics fabrication equipment. The provided summary does not establish the complete technical specifications, delivery requirements, installation obligations, evaluation criteria, or supplier eligibility conditions. The tender is listed as open and is scheduled to close on November 16, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. The time zone and all submission instructions should be confirmed in the official documents. Review the Request for Proposal and Notice of Proposed Procurement before deciding whether to bid, and verify all specifications, mandatory requirements, security or site-access conditions, pricing requirements, and submission procedures with NRC’s official tender notice.
