agency intends to award a contract for goods, services or

other suppliers to signal their interest in bidding, by
submitting a statement of capabilities. If no supplier submits a
statement of capabilities that meets the requirements set out in
the ACAN, on or before the closing date stated in the ACAN, the
contracting officer may then proceed with the award to the
pre-identified supplier.
