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 Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) has a requirement for the supply of one new ESI Micromill.

A micromill is a computer-controlled drill that can sample materials at very fine spatial scales (e.g. hundredths of millimeters) that cannot be performed using a hand-held drill.

DFO require a micromill to subsample material from within microlayers of marine mammal teeth, fish otoliths, and bivalve shells. The computer provided with the ESI Micromill is complete with software that collects the data which needs to be consistent across DFO offices nationally.

DFO employees at the Freshwater Institute have been trained on the ESI Micromill and its software, and it is the only machine compatible with FWI employee’s expertise nationally.
