ADVANCE CONTRACT AWARD NOTICE
1. 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.
2. DEFINITION OF THE REQUIREMENT
Public Works and Government Services Canada, on behalf of the Canadian Space Agency, wishes to issue a contract for the acquisition of 16 additional MGW Nano Encoders TS (VITE-14315) previously purchased through Sono Video Inc. through a limited competition venue. The current acquisition also includes the purchase of the Vitec Silver Plan Support Service for one (1) year from the date of delivery to cover repairs of defective equipment and provide support for troubleshooting issues.
The initial contract for the procurement of MGW Nano Encoders TS was done under contract number 9F054-130719/001/HN. The initial procurement was done in fiscal year 2013-201414 and additional procurement was done using the 3 year option clause of said contract.
The proposed contract is related to commonality and compatibility with the existing IP Video equipment.
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 its equipment system meets the following requirements:
Requirements:
The system chosen shall meet all these requirements even if its procurement and installation is planned to be performed in different phases to minimize the impact on the operations in the different facilities.
Mandatory requirements:
The following requirements are defined based on the current functional and operational needs within the different EGI facilities.
General:

2) The Digital Video System shall be able to handle simultaneously all the existing sources & destinations for the different EGI facilities, which are:
a. Sources:
- Eight (8) external video feeds coming from NASA ( six (6) MSFC feeds, RPS video and NASA TV)
- Thirteen (13) RMPSR video outputs (workstations/room camera)
- Twenty (20) OEC video outputs
- One (1) GA Laptop video output
- Seventeen (17) PTOC video outputs
- Twenty six (26) MOTS video outputs
- Twelve (12) ExDOC video outputs
