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.
Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) intends to negociate a contract with the supplier Avensys for the procurement and delivery of a gas analyser model ServoPro 4100 of Servomex to measure quantities of methane and carbon dioxide emissions inside respiratory chambers.
Quantity: 3 each
This item is to be delivered to Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (Dairy and Swine Research Center) located in Sherbrooke, P. Quebec.
This procurement is subject to the following trade agreements: . Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT) . North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) . Canada -Peru Free Trade Agreement . Canada -Colombia Free Trade Agreement
Justification of the Pre-selected supplier: Avensys is the only Canadian distributer capable of meeting Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada's requirement due to logistical and compatibility reasons, where the introduction of a non-standard unit and /or manufacturer would cause operating difficulties, compatibility issues, maintenance problems and additional manipulation and handling costs.
The following limited tendering reason is being invoked under the Agreement of Internal Trade: Article 506, Section 12 . 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;
The following limited tendering reason is being invoked under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) - Article 1016 , Section 2(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;
No substitute justifications The research facilities of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (Dairy and Swine Research Centre, Sherbrooke, Quebec) are equipped with infrastructures to quantify methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by dairy cows. These infrastructures are respiration chambers that allow the measurement of the amount of CH4 and CO2 daily emitted by cows placed inside the chambers. The concentrations of the gases are measured using gas analyzers (CH4 and CO2). For this purpose, they use infrared technology and therefore, the analyzers to purchase must use the same technology. The chambers are also equipped with a complex set-up of several instruments integrated and related to each other. The MODBUS protocol is used as a language to allow the communication among several instruments composing the set-up. This mode of communication is the basis to ensure safe , indispensable and reliable functions of the respiratory chambers. Therefore, any new instrument such as a new gas analyzer to be included in the set-up must use the same protocol of communication (i.e. MODBUS) in order to avoid corrupting the existing data acquired on the 'BUS' protocol. Based on these considerations, we identified the ServoPro 4100 of SERVOMEX as the most appropriate analyzer to serve our needs without changing their original system.
Specifications Dual component CH4 & CO2 Analyzer Ranges: CH4 0-500 ppm; CO2 0-10000ppm GFX (Gas Filter Correlation) Infrared Technology for CH4 measurement SBSW (Single Beam Single Wavelength) Infrared Technology for CO2 measurement Dual analog output (one for each gas) Intuitive LCD menu R232 serial communication port MODBUS communication Protocol
CH4 Channel Performance Repeatability : 1% reading or 0.5ppm (whichever is greater) Intrinsic error (accuracy): less than 0.5ppm(v) or 1% reading (whichever is greater) ZERO drift / week : less than 1ppm(v) SPAN drift / week : less than 2% reading or 1ppm(v) (whichever is greater)
CO2 Channel Performance Repeatability : 1% of selected range Intrinsic error (accuracy): 1% of selected range ZERO drift / week : 2% of selected range SPAN drift / day : 1% reading
The maintenance, repair/service center is available in Canada through a local representative. Technical support, spare parts and repair/service center from the manufacturer is offered in North America. This type of after sales service avoids delays in our research work.
For all the above reasons, ServoPro 4100 from Servomex is the only known gas analyser that is capable of performing this requirement.
Delivery date: 7 to 9 weeks at receipt of order.
