Create free accountAn 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.
The National Research Council (NRC) Ocean, Coastal and River Engineering (NRC OCRE) has a requirement to the supply of one (1) mass property measurement device capable of measuring the rigid-body properties of mechanical structures in a platform constrained from underneath by soft coil springs and supported at its center by a 5-DOF air bearing mechanism, within a high accuracy (<1% error) maintained over a wide measurement range (200kg to 2000kg)
The following deliverables are part of the contract: o Mass Property Measurement Device o Machine Calibration Equipment o 3D photogrammetry measurement system
3. Criteria for assessment of the Statement of Capabilities (Minimum Mandatory Requirements):
Any interested supplier must demonstrate by way of a statement of capabilities that its system meets the following requirements:
a. System must have been proven in marine applications such as, but not limited to: ship models, boats, and offshore models.
b. System must measure the rigid-body properties of mechanical structures. The setup must be a platform constrained from underneath by soft coil springs and supported at its center by a 5-DOF air bearing mechanism.
c. System must be able to provide full mass analysis results (mass, COG (x,y,z), MOI’s (Ixx, Iyy, Izz) and POI’s (Ixy, Ixz, Iyz)) and must be available within minutes after setup through a simple and fail-proof process. There should be no need to reposition the test object multiple times.
d. The system must use pneumatic actuators to move the test object in a de?ned way about multiple degrees of freedom (DOFs) and measure the resulting interface forces.
e. High accuracy (< 1% error) must be maintained over a wide measurement range (200kg – 2000kg), even for oblong objects where three very different MOIs must be measured simultaneously.
f. System calibration equipment must be available and included so that calibrations and measurements can be easily performed by the system operators. The equipment should allow for various configurations with diverse mass properties and reduce the need for contractor support.
g. System must include a portable 3D coordinate measuring system to compute precise (precision (1m3) = 100µm) 3D positions for an arbitrary number of marked points.
4. Applicability of the trade agreement(s) to the procurement
o Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA) o Revised World Trade Organization - Agreement on Government Procurement (WTO-AGP) o Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) o Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) o Canada-Chile Free Trade Agreement (CCFTA) o Canada-Colombia Free Trade Agreement o Canada-Honduras Free Trade Agreement o Canada-Korea Free Trade Agreement o Canada-Panama Free Trade Agreement o Canada-Peru Free Trade Agreement (CPFTA) o Canada-United Kingdom Trade Continuity Agreement (Canada-UK TCA) o Canada-Ukraine Free Trade Agreement (CUFTA)
The pre-identified supplier is the sole provider that meets all or the minimum essential requirements as described in Section 3 and owns the associated intellectual property (IP) for the system.
The supplier system is a proven application used in similar projects to the ones developed by the National Research Council, Ocean, River and Coastal Engineering Research Centre, with reliable results demonstrated by completed projects and/or peered review publications.
Only one vendor is able to meet the unique technical requirements listed herein. The following exception to the Government Contracts Regulations is invoked for this procurement under subsection 6 (d) as only one supplier is capable of performing work.
Resonic is the manufacturer (OEM) of the proposed system and owns the associated intellectual property (IP) for the system. Resonic does not authorize value-added resellers or distributors for their equipment. The Crown will have the right of use for normal business operations of the system once purchased. The design and system’s intellectual property are solely owned by the contractor.
All IP generated on this instrument during its use by the NRC OCRE Research Centre would belong entirely to NRC and its Research partners.
NRC is expecting the equipment to be delivered within the month of June 2024, based on the date of the contract. Delivery time frame is expected to take 12 months.
