1 Title:
ACAN for Assessment of COTS Financial Databases in the Development of Predictive Analytics Models for Environmental Compliance Targeting
2. Advance Contract Award Notice:
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 supplier. 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 officer will proceed to a full tendering process.
