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 Requirement

Purchase of a giga-tronics microwave signal generator for the Canadian Coast Guard

Criteria for assessment of the Statement of Capabilities

Any interested supplier must demonstrate by way of a statement of capabilities that its product meets the following requirements:

Supply Canadian Coast Guard Workshop technicians with a tool to facilitate corrective maintenance, preventative maintenance, and quality assurance activities on marine vessel traffic radar systems. This technical personnel is currently trained in the specific operation and application of Giga-tronics microwave signal generators.

Purchase of a Giga-tronics generator would eliminate cost-prohibitive retraining of staff and support fiscal efficiencies through Regional standardization of test equipment.

CCG in-service technical support documentation for these radar systems is written to reflect the unique operation and employment of the Giga-tronics generator. Development and authoring of alternate procedural texts would increase costs, and present logistical challenges.

Mandatory requirements which must be met: Frequency range: 2 GHz-11.2 Ghz Modulation capability: AM/FM/Pulse/Phase modulation Minimum calibrated RF output power level:-90 dBm to 15 dBm Model: 2520B (2-20 GHz)

Applicability of the trade agreement(s) to the procurement

This procurement is subject to the following trade agreement(s): Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT) Justification for the Pre-Identified Supplier:

Testforce is the only known supplier of Giga-tronics in Canada. Coast Guard has requested a no substitute from the manufacturer Giga-tronics.

Purchase of a Giga-tronics generator would eliminate cost-prohibitive retraining of staff and support fiscal efficiencies through Regional standardization of test equipment. Development and authoring of alternate procedural texts would increase costs, and present logistical challenges.
