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.

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 the 15 calendar
day posting period.

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
award the contract.
If no other supplier submits, on or before the closing date, a
statement of capabilities meeting the requirements set out in
the ACAN, a contract will be awarded to the pre-selected
