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 National Research Council Canada has a requirement one (1) Vertical Scan Analyzer for delivery to Ottawa, Ontario. The delivery is required by September 30, 2015.
3. Criteria for assessment of the Statement of Capabilities
Any interested supplier must demonstrate by way of a statement of capabilities that its product/equipment/system meets the following requirements:
1. The VSA must be able to process and analyze concentrated liquid dispersions such as emulsions, suspensions and foams.
2. The VSA must analyze and provide kinetics of changes in particle size over time, particle migration speed, and thickness of sedimentation layers.
3. The VSA must perform accelerated ageing tests by looking into the variations in particle size due to coalescence or flocculation as well as the migration of particles leading to sedimentation.
4. The technology used in the Formulaction VSA is based on the principle of multiple light scattering, whereby detected signal is directly dependent on the volume fraction and the diameter of the dispersed phase (being either particles, droplets or bubbles).
5. The VSA must perform analyses on samples with concentrations of up to 95% by volume for a wide range of particle sizes (0.1ìm to 1 mm).
6. Formulaction holds an exclusive patent on this technology for analysis of concentrated suspensions and their VSA is the only known instrument that can satisfy our analytical requirements.
7. Spectra Research Corporation is the sole authorized representative for Formulaction in Canada. Therefore, there are no other known vendors that can supply an instrument that satisfies our requirements for analysis of concentrated suspensions.
4. Applicability of the trade agreement(s) to the procurement
Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT) North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)
5. Justification for the Pre-Identified Supplier
The only known supplier of Vertical Scan Analyzer meeting all the above required technical specifications is Spectra Research Corporation (SRC). For this reason, it is proposed to negotiate this requirement with Spectra Research Corporation (SRC).
6. Exclusions and/or Limited Tendering Reasons
The following exclusion(s) and/or limited tendering reasons are invoked under the:
