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.
Definition of the requirement
The Department of National Defence has a requirement for the supply of Qty. 35 of the 120MM Main Gun Barrels (Qty. 24 of version L44 (NSN: 1015-12-323-7565) and Qty.11 of version L55 (NSN: 1015-12-356-2467)) in support of the Leopard 2 Main Battle Tank (MBT).
Main Gun Barrel Version L44
NSN:1015-12-323-7565 Part Number: 2500194-321110.01.0 NSCM: D2396
Main Gun Barrel Version L55
NSN:1015-12-356-2467 Part Number: 2500273-321100.00.0 NSCM: D2396
Criteria for assessment of the Statement of Capabilities (Minimum Essential Requirements)
Any interested supplier must demonstrate by way of a statement of capabilities that its Main Gun Barrels meet the following requirements:
Commonality and compatibility are major considerations. The Canadian Leopard 2 Fire Control Systems are already programmed with the ballistic characteristics of the Rheinmetall Waffe Munition (RWM) gun tubes. Additionnally, fit form function of a substitute equipment such as the gun tube thermal shrouds and muzzel reference system cannot be guaranteed.
Introduction of any other barrel will not be considered as it will require re-qualification of the complete armament system on the Leopard 2 MBT Fleet.
DND is currently managing 2 versions of the 120 MM (L44 and L55).
Applicability of the trade agreement(s) to the procurement
The Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT) applies with limited tendering strategy in accordance with AIT Article 506,12(a) for reasons of exclusive rights.
Comprehensive Land Claims Agreement's (CLCA's) do not apply as no goods will be delivered in a land claim area.
Justification for the Pre-Identified Supplier

RWM is the only company capable of performing the work as it is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), has the technical expertise and owns the Intellectual Property Rights for the Gun Barrels.
Government Contracts Regulations Exception(s)
The following exception to the Government Contracts Regulations is invoked for this procurement under subsection 6(d) - "only one person is capable of performing the work".
