Advance Contract Award Notice
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.
Requirement
The Department of National Defence (DND) has a requirement for

Canadian Leopard 2 Main Battle Tank (MBT) fleet. This includes
acquiring 16 MCRSs, associated documentation, drawings, spare
parts (two year supply), tooling, training, and other logistics
support, and the right of use for Canada's purposes only related
to the MCRS. To complete the requirement, the Contractor must
have an MCRS that has been tested and proven to operate on a
Leopard 2 MBT.
Furthermore, Canada has developed new roller wheels (and
associated hardware) to increase mine-kill effectiveness of the
MCRS. Each roller bank consists of 14 new steel wheels
approximately 900 mm in diameter, totalling approximately 5000
kg per bank. These roller wheels were developed to fit in the
dimensional envelope of NSN 2590-01-499-3783 (roller bank
assembly - excluding the standard roller wheels). Therefore, to
complete the requirement, the Contractor must also possess the
intellectual property rights for the roller bank assembly, NSN
