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, during this posting period, a Statement of Capabilities that meets the requirements set out in the ACAN, then the competitive requirements of the government's contracting policy have been met. Following notification to suppliers not successful in demonstrating that their Statement of Capabilities meets the requirements set out in the ACAN, the contract may then be awarded using the electronic bidding authorities.
If other potential suppliers submit Statements of Capabilities during the posting period which meet the requirements set out in the ACAN, (i.e. considered valid) then the contracting authority must proceed to a full tendering process (electronic or traditional).
a) enhance transparency in government procurement; b) support the Government's objective of enhanced competition; c) provide potential suppliers the opportunity to submit a statement of capabilities to a proposed directed procurement if they believe they have the capability and capacity to provide the good, service or construction requirement; and, d) meet the government's and suppliers need for an efficient and cost-effective government procurement system.

The National Research Council of Canada (NRC) possesses a microbial fermentation facility in Montreal with different sizes of bioreactors. These bioreactors are used to develop microbial fermentation process at different scales.
Our laboratory bioreactor is a benchtop bioreactor, model "Bioflo 110" from New Brunswick scientific (NBS). This bench top bioreactor system is monitored by a compact controller that communicates with four (4) 14 L glass "Bioflo 110" benchtop bioreactors. The current Bioflo 110 compact controller is at the end of its life span and needs to be upgraded to the latest version, model "Bioflo 115". The NRC requires to upgrade the aging controller without changing the glass bioreactors.
The "Bioflo" manufacturer, New Brunswick Scientific, was bought a few years ago by Eppendorf. Eppendorf now exclusively owns the New Brunswick Scientific Bioflo brand compact controllers and is the only company who can provide the NRC with the required upgrade (controller Bioflo 115). Those specific controllers have the same capacity than our current controllers Bioflo 110 and are totally compatible with our glass Bioreactors, in place in our laboratory.
Since the current controller can only be replaced-upgraded by the same brand and model compatible with our New Brunswick bioreactors NRC requires that we purchase (4) Bioflo 115 to Eppendorf Canada, exclusive owner of New Brunswick Scientific brand controllers.
