Nature of Requirements: Advance Contract Award Notice - (ACAN)
Definition:
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 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 competitive requirements of the government's contracting policy have been met. Following notification to supplier not successful in demonstrating that their statement of capabilities meets the requirements set out in the ACAN, the contract may then be awarded using the Treasury Board's electronic bidding authorities.
If other potential suppliers submit statements of capabilities during the fifteen calendar day posting period, and meet the requirements set out in the ACAN, the department or agency must proceed to a full tendering process on either the government's electronic tendering service or through traditional means, in order to award the contract.

Title
DMG134S Minigun and Parts Kits.
Requirement
1 Wing HQ is requesting the immediate purchase of three M134D Gatling gun systems, with follow-on options, from Dillon Aero Inc.
The M134D is an improved variant of the General Electric GAU-2B/M134, incorporating a number of design features that improve system reliability in combat conditions. Dillon Aero Inc. is the only known manufacturer of new M134 systems that incorporates these design characteristics. Further, Dillon Aero Inc. has demonstrated the capacity to support all levels of integration of the M134D to aircraft platforms with several NATO alliance members.
This initial procurement will serve to operationally validate the tactics and procedures required to support combat elements in close contact with aviation elements. This capability has been growing incrementally in response to lessons learned in OP ATHENA.
Gatling guns procured as a result of this request will be delivered to the Canadian Forces Land Aviation Test and Evaluation Flight (LATEF) at CFB Gagetown, NB. Initial trials will be conducted to validate operational suitability and effectiveness before any final weapon system is selected for fleet implementation.
Contract will include the option to purchase Three (3) additional units prior to March 31, 2009.
