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.
1. Definition of the Requirement
Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada has a requirement for the supply, delivery and training of one LI-680F Portable Photosynthesis System with Fluorometer. Delivery is to 4200 Hwy 97 South, Summerland, BC.
This system is an essential equipment for plant stress physiology research in Agriculture and Agri-Food newly established Tree Fruit Physiology program at Summerland Research and Development Centre (SuRDC).
This system will be used to measure CO2 and H2O exchange, as well as chlorophyll fluorescence of plant leaves and young fruits, for calculation of photosynthesis, transpiration and stomatal conductance, and for evaluation of plant stress level under various environmental conditions.
2. Criteria for Assessment of the Statement of Capabilities
Any interested supplier must demonstrate by way of a statement of capabilities that its equipment meets the following requirements:
- CO2 and H2O infrared gas analyzers must be located in the sensor head so gas concentrations are measured within the leaf cuvette mixing volume. Gas samples must not be pumped from the leaf cuvette through hoses and filters before analysis so there are no time delays to confound correlations between gas exchange and changes in environmental driving variables.
- H2O must be measured by the infrared gas analyzer, instead of a capacitance relative humidity sensor.
- The gas analyzer CO2 signal noise must be
