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. However, should a Statement of Capabilities be
found to meet the requirements set out in the ACAN, then the
contracting authority will proceed with a full tendering process.
Requirement
Enviroment Canada requires the supply and delivery of two (2)
spectrometers. This is required on or before 31 March 2015.
Criteria for Assessment of the Statement of Capabilities
Minimum Essential Requirements:
Any interested supplier must demonstrate by way of a statement
of capabilities that its product meets the following
requirements:
-Sunphotometers which can measure the total column of NO2 and
SO2 by measuring spectral solar radiation between 290 and 500nm
with spectral resolution of 0.6nm.
Trade Agreements
The requirement is subject to the following the North American
Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the Canada-Peru Free Trade
Agreement (CPFTA), Canada-Columbia Free Trade Agreement (CCFTA)
and the Agree on Internal Trade (AIT) however it is proposed to
invoke limited tendering reasons in accordance with the
following:

invoked under the section of the trade agreement(s) specified:

To ensure compatability with existing products, to recognise
exclusive rights, such as exclusive licenses, copyright and
patent rights, or to maintian specialized products that must be
maintained by the manufacturer or its represenative;
Background
Environment Canada needs to measure the total column of NO2 and
SO2 from the ground for the purpose of air quality monitoring
and satellite data validation. The only reliable way to do this
is to retrieve total column amounts from hi-resolution spectral
measurements in the UV part of the spectrum (290-400 nm).
The estimated cost of the contract is $82,470.99 + HST if
applicable.
Delivery Date: Before 31 March 2015.
