ADVANCE CONTRACT AWARD NOTICE (ACAN)
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 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
tendering process.
All responses or inquiries are to be submitted to the
Procurement officer identified above. The PWGSC file number,
the Procurement officer's name and the closing date of the ACAN
must appear on the outside of the envelope in block letters or,

Trade agreement application:
The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), Agreement on
Internal Trade (AIT), World Trade Operation Agreement on
Government Procurement (WTO-AGP), Canada-Peru Free Trade
Agreement, Canada-Chile Free Trade Agreement and Canada-Columbia
Free Trade Agreement are applicable to this procurement.
Reason for single tendering consideration:
In 2005, the purchase of 285 Intermec model 730 was done by
General Dynamic Canada as part of a tri-fold statement of work
to develop a Tactical Asset Configuration Information System
(TACIS) for support of the Land Command Support System between
Director Land Command System Program Management (DLCSPM) DND,
General Dynamics Canada and Auto-trol Technology (Canada).
In 2011, 285 Intermec model CN3G was purchased by Public Works
and Government Services Canada (PWGSC), Gatineau, on behalf of
DND for upgrade from the old model 730 (end of life) to new
model CN3G (no wireless capability). The application (TACIS) is
being used across DND and the original software was designed
specifically for model 730, using libraries and system calls
specific to Intermec technologies. And this software is also
compatible with model CN3G. Therefore, the upgrade requires no
(or very minimal) changes to the application, i.e. Additional
design, coding, testing, documentation and user training effort.
Now, DND would like to purchase additional barcode readers
(model CN3G) which can interchangeable/interoperable with
existing equipment and software. DND has done a lot of effort
to develop the TACIS system as a robust application and to input
thousands of records into the system. Any changes on
application would cause substantial duplication of costs to the
procuring entity.
Delivery:
Delivery is required on or before 28 December 2012.
Estimate cost of the proposed contract:
Estimate cost of the proposed contract is: C$388,500.00, GST
included.
