1. Advance Contract Award Notice
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's National Institute for Nanotechnology (NINT), Edmonton, Alberta, facilitates fundamental research in nanobiology. There is a requirement to build capacity within the nanobiology core. NINT is seeking the supply and delivery of one (1) BC FACSCanto II Flow Cytometer System. The complete Flow Cytometer system must be received at NINT, Edmonton, Alberta not later than October 16, 2015.
3. Criteria for assessment of the Statement of Capabilities (Minimum Essential Requirements)
Any supplier must demonstrate by way of a statement of capabilities that its equipment meets the following requirements:
Item Description M1 An optical system that features a patented design that maximizes signal detection and increases sensitivity and resolution for each color in a multicolor and multi-sized particle assay. The octagon and trigon are BD patented detector arrays that use serial light reflections to guide signals to their target detectors, resulting in highly efficient light collection and providing maximum signal retention at the detector level. This BD serial reflective design further enhances instrument sensitivity by collecting the dimmest emission signals first, moving from the longest wavelengths (typically PE-Cy7) to the shortest (FITC). M2 IVD certified BD FACSCanto II coupled with the IVD certified BD FACSDiva Software employ the BD Cytometer Setup and Tracking Beads which automate and standardize instrument setup, performance tracking and quality control M3 The fluidics system must be equipped with automatic back flush of Sample Injection Port to minimize sample carryover, control software. M4 High Throughput System (HTS) allows for 96 well plate acquisition in high throughout mode taking 15 min for acquisition of entire plate. M5 The system must have the ability to be equipped with an IVD certified automated 40-tube loader. M6 The system must have the ability to be equipped with 2 lasers (blue/red) or 3 lasers (blue/red/violet).
