1. TITLE: CNS SIMDIS High Temp System
2. DEFINITION OF REQUIREMENTS AND SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION: The Department of Natural Resources (NRCan), CanmetEnergy, Devon, AB, has a requirement for a Boiling Point Distribution (Simulated Distillation) gas chromatographic analyzer. Boiling Point Distribution (Simulated Distillation) of Carbon, Sulfur and Nitrogen compounds in Crude Oil, Bitumen and their distillation fractions is a characterization critical for effective analytical support of internal research/cost recovery projects and for analytical services to Petroleum Industries.
Some of the key technical specifications are listed below: The instrument should have the capability to perform simulated distillation IN ONE SINGLE INJECTION for hydrocarbons, Sulfur (S) and Nitrogen (N) instead of using three different instruments with separated injections. The instrument should use the Chemiluminescence Principle for Nitrogen and Sulfur Detection. The instrument should use OIL-FREE vacuum pumps for the operation of the chemiluminescence detectors. These pumps are more durable and require much less maintenance. The instrument should ensure complete combustion of crude oil and bitumen samples and accurate quantification. The instrument should allow a boiling point distribution of N and S compounds up to 700 C without creating a deterioration and volatilization of samples.
NRCAN intends to purchase the CNS SIMDIS High Temp System 120V including PC Bundle, 19" Monitor, OPENLAB CDS CHEMSTATION EDITION workstation, OPENLAB CDS INSTRUMENT DRIVER for AGILENT GC, DHA PLUS software upgrade to latest version, DHA INSTRUMENT upgrade license, HIGH TEMP installation and familiarization, 7650A 50-VIAL AUTOINJECTOR, and CONSUMABLES CNS SIMDIS HIGH TEMP SYSTEM.
The Devon CanmetENERGY laboratory is presently equipped with other analyzers from PAC such as the Detailed Hydrocarbon Analyzer (DHA), the PIONA (Paraffins, lsoparaffins, Olefins, Naphthenes and Aromatics) Analyzers and a special DHA FRONT END DATA MERGE SOFTWARE. The training period of operators will be reduced due to similarities between the new and already existing analyzers, especially in the hardware and software used. Also the proprietary DHA FE Merge Software can be used to merge the high temperature hydrocarbon simulated distillation (boiling point greater than 200C) from the newer analyzer with the front end simulated distillation (boiling point less than 200C) from the existing DHA analyzer. PAC will upgrade existing software in order to be compatible with the latest software installed on the new analyzer.
4. TRADE AGREEMENTS & GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS REGULATIONS EXCEPTION: WTO-AGP not applicable, below the threshold.
NAFTA applicable, limited tendering allowed under Article 1016; (b.) where, for works of art, or for reasons connected with the protection of patents, copyrights or other exclusive rights, or proprietary information or where there is an absence of competition for technical reasons, the goods or services can be supplied only by a particular supplier and no reasonable alternative or substitute exists; (d.) for additional deliveries by the original supplier that are intended either as replacement parts or continuing services for existing supplies, services or installations, or as the extension of existing supplies, services or installations, where a change of supplier would compel the entity to procure equipment or services not meeting requirements of interchangeability with already existing equipment or services, including software to the extent that the initial procurement of the software was covered by this Chapter.
AIT applicable; limited tendering allowed under Article 506, 12 (a.) to ensure compatibility with existing products, to recognize exclusive rights, such as exclusive licences, copyright and patent rights, or to maintain specialized products that must be maintained by the manufacturer or its representative; (b.) where there is an absence of competition for technical reasons and the goods or services can be supplied only by a particular supplier and no alternative or substitute exists.
Government Contracts Regulations Exception This contract is subject to subsection 6 (d) of the Government Contracts Regulations, in that only one person or company is capable of performing the contract.

You are hereby notified that the government intends to negotiate with one firm only as identified above. Should you have any questions concerning this requirement, contact the contracting officer identified above.
An Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN) allows departments and agencies to post a notice, for no less than fifteen (15) calendar days, indicating to the supplier community that it intends to award a good, service or construction contract to a pre-identified contractor. If no other supplier submits, on or before the closing date, a Statement of Capabilities that meets the requirements set out in the ACAN, the contracting authority may then proceed with the award. However, should a Statement of Capabilities be found to meet the requirements set out in the ACAN, then the contracting authority will proceed to a full tendering process.
Suppliers who consider themselves fully qualified and available to provide the services/goods described herein, may submit a statement of capabilities in writing to the contact person identified in this Notice on or before the closing date of this Notice. The statement of capabilities must clearly demonstrate how the supplier meets the advertised requirements.
The PWGSC file number, the contracting officer's name and the closing date of the ACAN must appear on the outside of the envelope in block letters or, in the case of a facsimile transmission, on the covering page.
The Crown retains the right to negotiate with suppliers on any procurement.
Documents may be submitted in either official language of Canada.
