Department of Agriculture and Agri-Food (AAFC) - *Kentville, *World, Kentville, NS
This appears to be an open Government of Canada procurement by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada for one liquid chromatography (LC) system for its Kentville Research and Development Centre in Nova Scotia. The system is intended for proteomics and must support nano-flow operation, flow rates of at least 200 nL/min to 100 µL/min without a flow splitter, pressure of at least 15,000 psi, pH 2–10 operation, 2D LC analysis, unattended operation for up to 96 hours, solvent storage, automated solvent delivery and washing, specified injection volumes and sample-plate capacity, temperature control, and other technical requirements. The equipment must comply with the Canadian Electrical Code and be CSA certified upon delivery.A major eligibility restriction applies: this opportunity is reserved exclusively for suppliers already pre-qualified under Supply Arrangement E60PV-19EQUI for laboratory and scientific equipment. Suppliers without that arrangement cannot submit an eligible bid, and their bids will not be evaluated. The contract is expected to go to a responsive pre-qualified supplier that meets all mandatory technical criteria and offers the lowest aggregate price. The notice lists a publication closing date of October 19, 2026 at 2:00 p.m., in Kentville, Nova Scotia, but it specifically says that suppliers invited to bid must rely on the solicitation documents for the actual closing date of the procurement. Businesses that are not currently pre-qualified may review solicitation document E60PV-19EQUI/D on Canada Buys/SAP Ariba to explore applying for the supply arrangement, although that process is separate from this purchase. Before taking action, verify the official notice, solicitation documents, mandatory specifications, bid instructions, delivery requirements, and applicable closing date. Bid Maple is not affiliated with the Government of Canada, and this summary does not determine whether your business is eligible to bid.
