Synopsis

Air carrier Captain reported an ENG BLEED caution message during the takeoff roll resulted in rejected takeoff.

Narrative

After being cleared for takeoff I advanced the throttles evenly to obtain 1.10 EPR (Engine Pressure Ratio); we both noticed the right engine noticeably lagging behind the left engine. Once both engines were at 1.10 EPR I called 'auto throttles' and we both noticed the continued lag on the right engine once auto throttles were engaged. Passing 80 kts we still were unable to call thrust set as the right engine was still indicating unable to achieve the desired takeoff thrust. At approximately 85-90 kts we had an 'ENG BLEED OFF' CAS (Crew Alerting System) message on the right engine. Leading up to that we were having issues setting Takeoff thrust. We were performing a Max thrust Takeoff due to gusty winds and LLWS advisories. With the engine unable to achieve TO thrust and the CAS message I initiated a RTO (Rejected Takeoff) around 95 kts. The RTO brakes activated and quickly stopped the airplane. The First Officer performed all his required call outs including the remain seated PA. Once stopped we determined it was safe to exit the runway as we felt that the aircraft was intact and the RTO occurred in the low speed regime. We requested fire trucks as a precaution in case the brakes over heated as the autobrakes activated. Clear of the runway we performed the Rejected Takeoff QRC and I then advised the passenger and crew of what occurred and assured them we were safe and secure but would be returning to the gate. We determined that the brakes were at a safe temperature and had it verified by the airport ARFF (Airport Rescue and Firefighting) fire trucks. As a precaution the ARFF followed us to the gate. Once at the gate we briefed maintenance on the events and our write ups. We then debriefed as a crew to verify our actions and lessons learned and evaluated our fitness for duty to continue our flight. I also debriefed the flight attendants and verified their fitness for duty. We had an aircraft swap and continued without incident in a new aircraft.
