1. Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN)
An ACAN is a public notice indicating to the supplier community that a department or agency intends to award a contract for goods, services or construction to a pre-identified supplier, thereby allowing 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.
2. Definition of the requirement
Environment and Climate Change Canada has a requirement for the supply, installation, training and manuals for a VUV Analytics Vacuum Ultraviolet Gas Chromatography Detector. The requirement includes two (2) hardware upgrades to increase the operating temperature up to 450ºC and to expand the wavelength spectrum to 120-430 nm. Also included is a workstation laptop computer with VUV analyze - automated VUV Spectral fitting software and complete VUV library compound set, user editable VUV absorption cross-section library software.
3. Criteria for assessment of the Statement of Capabilities (Minimum Essential Requirements)
3.
Any interested supplier must demonstrate by way of a statement of capabilities that its product/equipment/system (as appropriate) meets the following requirements:
- The detector must be capable on interfacing with a gas chromatograph (GC);
- The detector must allow for the use of He, H or N2 as carrier and makeup gases;
- The detector must have a temperature range up to 400 C or higher for high boiling point compounds;
- The detector must be a bench top model with maximum dimensions of 120 X 90 X 90 cm;
- The wavelength range must cover the vacuum ultraviolet and ultraviolet between 120-400 nm encompassing the range where PAHs and Alkylated PAHs with 2-5 rings strongly absorb;
- The wavelength accuracy must be at least ± 0.2 nm;
- The spectral bandwidth must be
