APPLICABLE TRADE AGREEMENTS AND OBLIGATIONS

This requirement is subject to the Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA),the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the Billateral Free Trade Agreements and the World Trade Organization Agreement on Government Procurement (WTO-AGP).

GOVERNMENT CONTRACT REGULATIONS (GCR) EXCEPTION AND LIMITED TENDERING REASON

In accordance with the GCR exception, this requirement is being directed to the Rohde & Schwarz Canada Inc. (OEM) as the required items are guaranteed interchangeable with the current EMC32 software being used on-site at Industry Canada.

Limited tendering procedures are being invoked for reasons of Interchangeability with existing systems. Substitutions of this equipment would be un-safe in the short-term and in the long-term, would require many expensive changes.

Delivery Date: Above-mentioned

You are hereby notified that the government intends to negotiate with one firm only as identified above. Should you have any questions concerning this requirement, contact the contracting officer identified above.

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, on or before the closing date, a Statement of Capabilities that meets the requirements set out in the ACAN, the contracting authority may then proceed with the award. However, should a Statement of Capabilities be found to meet the requirements set out in the ACAN, then the contracting authority will proceed to a full tendering process.

Suppliers who consider themselves fully qualified and available to provide the services/goods described herein, may submit a statement of capabilities in writing to the contact person identified in this Notice on or before the closing date of this Notice. The statement of capabilities must clearly demonstrate how the supplier meets the advertised requirements.

The PWGSC file number, the contracting officer's name and the closing date of the ACAN must appear on the outside of the envelope in block letters or, in the case of a facsimile transmission, on the covering page.
