Nature of Requirements:

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
Transport Canada, Airport operations, wishes to acquire
three (3) E-Sprayer Systems for the application of its
EnviroKleendust control material at the Cree airports of
Waskaganish, Eastmain and Wemindji.

Transport Canada has a Contract for the delivery of 90 000
litres of EnviroKleen dust-control product for 2015 and for
40 000 litres per year for the next two years; for the 3 Cris
airports of Waskaganish, Eastmain and Wemindji.

EnviroKleen dust-control is an efficient product, but that is
high in viscosity and that cannot be effectively applied with
the current equipment. The sprayers that are being used
and that are known by Transport Canada do not allow the
necessary adjustability of flow and pressure, which can
reduce the efficiency of the chemical’s binding agents.
Furthermore, the lack of control of flow and pressure can
cause leaks and loss of product and affect the uniformity of
application of the product. Because more product is
required to achieve the required results, time and financial
losses are also factors.

Midwest Industrial Supply, Inc. manufactures EnviroKleen
dust-suppressant and sprayers (E-Sprayer system); sprayers
which are specifically designed for the application of
EnviroKleen dust-suppressant product.
