Request for Proposal: Determining harvest maturity for peaches and nectarines
Horticulture Innovation Australia (Hort Innovation) is a not-for-profit, grower-owned Research and Development Corporation (RDC) for Australia’s $16.3 billion horticulture industry. Hort Innovation invests around $120 million in research and development (R&D) and marketing programs annually to provide benefit to industry and the wider community.
Hort Innovation is seeking a suitably qualified, experienced and capable delivery partner for the project: Determining harvest maturity for peaches and nectarines (SF23005).
The objective of the services is to help Hort Innovation increase the utility and accuracy of the Rubens sensor to non-destructively determine peach and nectarine harvest maturity
The respondent is to:
• Appoint a Project Reference Group in consultation with the Summerfruit R&D Committee (Summerfruit Australia Limited committee).
• Correlate the Rubens sensor with fruit ethylene production in up to fifty (50) Australian peach and nectarine export cultivars (only open-access varieties), enabling estimation of harvest maturity based on the sensor’s measurements.
• Provide recommendations for the range of instrument readings that correspond to optimum fruit physiological maturity for storage and export.
• Correlate the Rubens sensor to fruit quality parameters such as firmness and SSC.
Hort Innovation has prepared a Request for Proposal (RFP) document that provides background information, outlines the scope of services, the procurement process and the information required from interested parties.
The RFP may be downloaded from www.tenders.net (you will need to be a member of tenders.net to access this information).
Please note, our tender document suite has recently updated. These updates include:
• A new Tender Companion Guide to assist with completing Project Proposals.
• The Project Proposal Template now consists of two parts (replacing previous MRT): a Word document and an Excel component for financial tables.
Please ensure both the Word and Excel components are included in your submission.
The closing date for responses is September 19, 2024, 3.00pm (AEST).
