Natural Resources Canada is seeking a supplier for a detailed engineering design and timeline for a pilot-scale multi-mode arc furnace, including power supply and control systems, a continuous feeding system, a primary off-gas treatment system and ancillary equipment. The requirement includes an option for the contractor to fabricate the furnace and deliver, commission and install it at CanmetMATERIALS' Hamilton laboratory, with additional options for the purchase of spare parts and additional technical support. The detailed engineering design and timeline must be completed by March 1, 2027, and the base contract period runs from contract award to March 31, 2028. If the fabrication option is exercised, the furnace must be delivered, commissioned, and installed by March 1, 2029 and the contract term will be extended to March 31, 2031. Canada will hold an optional virtual offeror’s conference on September 23, 2026 at 1:00 PM EDT. Late submissions will not be considered or accepted.

This could be valuable for engineering firms and manufacturers experienced in arc furnace design, power/control integration, feeding systems and off-gas treatment who can also support fabrication and on-site commissioning. Key considerations are the firm milestone dates for engineering delivery (Mar 1, 2027) and, if exercised, fabrication/installation (Mar 1, 2029), the requirement to deliver and install at CanmetMATERIALS' Hamilton laboratory, and the strict rule that late submissions will not be accepted.
