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

The Department of National Defence has a requirement for the rental and training of one (1) remote controlled slope grass cutter, for the bomb dump area at CFB Trenton, Ontario. The work will involve the following:

b. Provide factory training for four (4) in house employees; and
c. Perform all maintenance (including inspections every 6 weeks, oil changes and filter changes).

The purpose of this Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN) is to signal the government's intention to award a contract for these services to J&S Performance and Distribution Ltd. (Niagara on the Lake, ON). Before awarding a contract, however, the government would like to provide other suppliers with the opportunity to demonstrate that they are capable of satisfying the requirements set out in this Notice, by submitting a statement of capabilities during the fifteen (15) calendar day posting period. 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.

3. Criteria for assessment of the Statement of Capabilities (Minimum Essential Requirements)

a. Ability to provide factory training to four (4) operators at the beginning of each grass cutting season.
b. Ability to perform all maintenance of the mower, including but not limited to six (6) week inspections, oil changes and filter changes.
c. Approval for radio frequency usage in the ammo storage area, as per HERO assessment guidelines.
d. The mower must contain a handheld transmitter, approved for use in Canada for operating at certain frequencies in the range of 430.100 MHz to 477.000 MHz, at a maximum power of 0.025 W. In addition, the mower must have electronic ignition, an electronic starter, and a cutting blade with an electromagnetic brake/clutch, which may produce unintentional electromagnetic (EM) radiated emissions.
