An Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN) is a public notice informing suppliers that Canada intends to award a contract for goods, services or construction to a pre-identified supplier, and invites other suppliers to express their interest by submitting a statement of capabilities. If no other supplier submits a statement of capabilities demonstrating how they meet the set requirements in the ACAN by the closing date stated in the ACAN, the
buyer may then proceed with the award to the pre-identified supplier. The Department of National Defense is issuing this Advanced contract award notice for the acquisition of ongoing technical consultation services related to naval ship signature and combat system effectors test and evaluation (T&E) capabilities. All details related to the requirement are found in the advanced notice.
