1. ACAN Explanation
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.
2. Requirement
The Department of National Defence (DND) has a requirement for
the provision of accommodations, meals and related services for
up to eighty (80) students at any one time, in support of the
Canadian Forces School of Aerospace Control Operations (CFSACO),
Cornwall, Ontario, for an initial period from 1 April, 2013 to
30 September, 2017 with the irrevocable option to extend the
term of the contract by up to three (3) additional six (6) month
periods.
2.1 Background
The CFSACO provides the Canadian Forces (CF) with initial and
mandated refresher training of the Aerospace Control (AEC) and
Aerospace Control Operator (AC Op) occupations.

In 1979, the CF commenced Military Air Traffic Controller (ATC)
training in cooperation with Transport Canada at the Transport
Canada Training Institute. The Institute, situated at 1950
Montreal Road, Cornwall, Ontario, is now owned and operated by
NAVCAN. The change in ownership followed the privatization of
air navigation services and the subsequent sale of
infrastructure to the Contractor in 1996. Despite the change,
Military ATC training continued throughout the transition and is
ongoing. It is intended to continue to provide these training
services from 1950 Montreal Road, Cornwall, Ontario for the
duration of the Contract period, at which time it may be
relocated to a Canadian Forces base site.

The amalgamation of the Air Weapons and Air Traffic Control
occupations in 1997 brought additional training requirements to
the Institute, as well as a new name, Canadian Forces School of
Aerospace Control Operations (CFSACO).

students to move from accommodations, meals and fitness
facilities to courses and training facilities within five
