1. 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. Statistics Canada have a requirement for the supply, software updates, extended warranty and manuals for three (3) 2D Barcode Scanners.
3. Minimum Essential Requirements
Any interested supplier must demonstrate by way of a statement of capabilities that its system meets the following requirements:
A. The 2D Barcode Scanner must be compatible with the 2D Barcodes that are on the micronic 0.75 (part# MSMP52027), 1.4 mL (part# MSMP52320) tubes and any other tube with high contrast 2D codes.
B. The barcode scanner must be compatible with the Micronic LoboRack-96 and RoboRack-96 trays purchased from MJS Biolynx. The LoboRack (Part# MSMP51001BC1D) houses the 0.75mL vials, while the RoboRack (Part# MSMP51004BC1D) houses the 1.4 mL vials.
C. The scanners must be 5.1" x 7.1" x 7.3 (W x D x H)
4. Applicability of the trade agreement(s) to the procurement
This procurement is subject to the following trade agreement(s):
Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT) North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)
5. Comprehensive Land Claims Agreement(s)
Not Applicable.
6. Justification for the Pre-Identified Supplier
This procurement is linked to a previous procurement in which 2D barcode scanner plates have been previously procured. Due to logistical changes, additional scanners are now required.
The scanners are used off-site in a mobile examination clinic which consist of 3 53' trailers, therefore IT services are not readily available on the field for the configuring and testing of a new program. The scanner software is linked to the in-house tracking system. The survey operations have already started and a change to software will interrupt the survey collection. Space is limited therefore, the scanners need to meet counter space availability.

The following exception to the Government Contracts Regulations is invoked for this procurement under subsection 10.2 Section 6(d) - "only one person is capable of performing the work").
