Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN)
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.
