Full description

Definition
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 Requirements
The National Economic Accounts Division (NEAD) of Statistics Canada is continuously investigating new data sources to improve its products such as the quarterly Gross Domestic Product (GDP) estimates and to fulfill Statistics Canada’s requirements to the federal-provincial fiscal arrangements regulations and to the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) allocation formula.
Understanding the motor vehicle market in Canada has always been a key requirement at Statistics Canada, because of its volatility and importance in the measurement of household expenditure on consumer goods, together with its impact on GDP and household savings.
J.D. Power and Associates (JDPA) launched the Power Information Network (PIN) in Canada in 2003. PIN collects, processes, edits and releases monthly information on retail transactions with individuals. PIN collects statistics from the dealer management systems on new and used motor vehicles sold in Canada by participating new motor vehicle dealers operating in major metropolitan areas such as Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Toronto and Montreal. Statistics available from the PIN include the number of new motor vehicle transactions by model and model year, together with the vehicle price less customer cash rebate and the Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). It also breaks down the sales into cash purchases, financed purchases and leases. PIN covers approximately 25% of all transactions with individuals. Information on the actual transaction price of new vehicle purchases from JDPA, combined with provincial and territorial registration data, represents a unique source to apply the concepts of the Canadian System of National Accounts (CSNA). Access to these monthly data is critical in supporting the analysis of the motor vehicle market as these data determine the Canadian demand by household in terms of units and value. These data represent an important component in the supply/disposition analysis carried out in the CSNA.
The JDPA data combined with the registration data have a significant role in the federal-provincial fiscal arrangements regulations and in the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) allocation formula as household demand for new motor vehicles represents approximately 8% of the representative average tax base for household expenditure. The price data from JDPA is also used by the Consumer Price Division as an additional input into determining the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for new motor vehicle purchases and leases. The calculation of sales tax estimates in the CSNA also relies on the valuation, by type of transactions, purchases or leases.
3. Criteria for assessment of the Statement of Capabilities (Minimum Essential Requirements)
Any interested supplier must demonstrate by way of a statement of capabilities that it meets
 the following requirements:

The data provider must provide a client service representative.
The data must include new motor vehicle sales by sales month, by vehicle model, by model year, and by the counts sold that month. For all these aggregates, detail regarding the average final vehicle price paid by the customer (less customer rebate), the average type of sale (% cash, % finance, % lease), the average trade-in amount and the average percentage of trade-ins is also required.
The data must include new motor vehicle leased by sales month, by vehicle model, by model year, and by the counts sold that month. For all these aggregates, detail regarding the average final vehicle price (less customer rebate), the average lease term, the average down payment, the average monthly payment, the average annual interest rate charged on leases and the average lease residual is also required.
The data must include new motor vehicle sales for the top thirty five (35) vehicle models purchased (not leased), by sales month, by vehicle trim level (such as EX, DX, XLT), by model year, by certain urban centers (including Montreal, Toronto, Calgary/Edmonton and Vancouver, Atlantic Region and territories), and by the counts sold that month. For all these aggregates, detail regarding the average final vehicle price paid by the customer (less customer rebate) and the percentage of trade-ins is also required.
The data must include new motor vehicle leased for the top thirty five (35) vehicle models leased, by sales month, by vehicle trim level (such as EX, DX, XLT), by model year, by certain urban centers (including Montreal, Toronto, Calgary/Edmonton and Vancouver), and by the counts sold that month. For all these aggregates, detail regarding the average final vehicle price (less customer rebate), the average lease term, the average down payment, the average monthly payment, the average annual percentage rate of return and the average lease residual are also required.
The data must include used motor vehicle sales sold by new car dealers by sales month, by vehicle model, and by the counts sold that month and provide an average of how old they were. For all these aggregates, detail regarding the average final vehicle price paid by the customer (less customer rebate) and the average vehicle age are also required.
Twice per year, the data must include information on new motor vehicle sales of diesel, electric, flexible, gas and hybrid vehicles.
The data must have a good coverage of the economy. The new motor sales data are required to have a sample of at least 10% of the annual new motor vehicle sales.
