advance contract award notice (acan)
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.
requirement
department of national defence (for defence research and development canada) has a requirement for the procurement of supply of electronics for muon tomography with a requested delivery date of 2017-03-31.
background
defence research and development canada (drdc) ottawa research centres radiological analysis and defence (rad) group have been involved in muon scattering tomography (mst) research and development since 2008. The rad group collaborated on the successful cosmic ray inspection and passive tomography (cript) project which produced canadas first (and currently only) mst system. The rad group is now developing a smaller, mobile mst system called muon passive inspection for counter-terrorism (mupic). Mupic employs plastic scintillators and wavelength shifting (wls) plastic optical fibres (pofs) to detect and track muons produced by cosmic-ray-atmosphere interactions. A critical part of mupic is the read-out electronics and light detectors which detect the photons from the wls pofs. This statement of requirements (sor) describes the read-out electronics and light detectors that a contractor will produce for mupic.
