THIS CANCELS AND SUPERSEDES THE PREVIOUS NOTICE OF PROPOSED
PROCUREMENT (NPP) NO. 45045-130100/A OR PW-$$PV-916-64018 DATED
November 27, 2013 WAS DUE AT 2:00 PM ON JANUARY 15, 2014.
Statistic Canada has a requirement for the supply, installation,
training, manuals, calibration and software of three (3) Visual
Field Testing Instruments including extended warranty and
additional service, delivery to Ottawa, Ontario; delivery must
be by March 31, 2014.
Statistic Canada has been conducting the Canadian Health
Measures Survey (CHMS) across Canada since 2007. The required
equipment is the only commercially available instrument which
provides Frequency field doubling technology for the detection
of early field/visual loss, has the capability to connect to
LANs, and has a serial port data output for file transfer
Due to lack of trained ophthalmic technicians & constraints to
hire additional staff, the instrument must allow for both lay
person operation and unattended operation. Additionally, and
due to space constraints, instrument dimensions much not exceed
30"Hx15"Wx35" D
The only known supplier of a Visual Field Instrument that
addresses all of Statistic Canada technical and performance
requirements is the Humphrey Matrix 800 from Carl Zeiss. For
these reasons it is proposed to negotiate directly with Carl
Zeiss, Toronto Ontario for this requirement.
Delivery Date: Above-mentioned
You are hereby notified that the government intends to negotiate
with one firm only as identified above. Should you have any
questions concerning this requirement, contact the contracting

An Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN) allows departments and
agencies to post a notice, for no less than fifteen (15)
calendar days, indicating to the supplier community that it
intends to award a good, service or construction contract to a
pre-identified contractor. If no other supplier submits, on or
before the closing date, a Statement of Capabilities that meets
the requirements set out in the ACAN, the contracting authority
may then proceed with the award. However, should a Statement of
Capabilities be found to meet the requirements set out in the
ACAN, then the contracting authority will proceed to a full
tendering process.
Suppliers who consider themselves fully qualified and available
to provide the services/goods described herein, may submit a
statement of capabilities in writing to the contact person
identified in this Notice on or before the closing date of this
Notice. The statement of capabilities must clearly demonstrate
how the supplier meets the advertised requirements.
