Nature of Requirements:
Publics Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) intends to
negociate a contract with the supplier DVS Digital Video Inc for
the procurement and delivery of a Clipster 4800 Raids 4U DI
Workstation for editing compressed and uncompressed SD Video,
HDTV, Film 2 K and 4 K material. Model: 8108153.
This item is to be delivered to the National Film Board of
Canada (NFB) located in Ville St. Laurent, Quebec.
Sole source and no substitute justifications
The National Film Board (NFB) is in the process of transitioning
to a complete Digital Workflow and they are upgrading some of
their equipment to support high resolution imaging in HD, 2K, 4K
and 6K. This transition will result in a digital facility
capable of scanning, colour grading, restoring and archiving our
productions and film archive. It will also give them the
capability of delivering their products to their
Clients/Customers in the format of their choice as well as on
the device of their choice.
This request to purchase continues the migration and upgrading
of our DVS installed base of equipment/units (HSRGB-800
Workstation, Clipster DVS Digital Recorder, Pronto HD, Pronto
2K.2, Venice Multi Channel Disk Recorder and Fuze DCI
workstation). These units are fully integrated into NFB'S
Post-Production and Digitization process. Hence the need and
importance of acquiring and maintaining equipment that is
compatible with each other and equipment which can be seamlessly
integrated with each other.
The NFB is leveraging the DVS expertise in digital film
processing to meet workflow requirements. The unit provides
quick and convenient processing of various compressed and
uncompressed formats.
For all the above reasons, this is the only known existing
system that is capable of performing this requirement.
The purpose of this Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN) is to
signal the government's intention to award a contract for these
goods to:
DVS Digital Video Inc
300 East Magnolia Boulevard
Suite 102
Burbank, California

Before awarding a contract, however, the government would like
to provide other suppliers with the opportunity to demonstrate
that they are capable of satisfying the requirements set out in
this notice, by submitting a Statement of Capabilities during

during the 15 calendar day posting period that meet the
requirements set out in the ACAN, the government will proceed to
a full tendering process on either the government's electronic
tendering service or through traditional means, in order to

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
