Tender Details

Advance contract award notice (acan)
1. 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.
2. Definition of requirements
the department of natural resources canada (nrcan) has the following requirement:
title
open geospatial consortium testbed-16: discrete global grid systems
background
the canadian geospatial data infrastructure (cgdi) represents canada`s national spatial data infrastructure (sdi). Similar to traditional physical infrastructure that helps canadians with their everyday lives (e.g. Roads, utilities, telecommunications), cgdi is an infrastructure for geospatial (i.e. Location) information. In short, cgdi helps canadians find, access, use, and share geospatial information.
geoconnections is a national program, led by natural resources canada (nrcan), whose mandate is to advance the cgdi. Similar to physical infrastructure that is regularly improved through new technologies (e.g. Upgrading analogue electrical meters with digital smart meters), cgdi`s digital infrastructure can consistently be upgraded to take advantage of new developments. This is commonly achieved through new and/or improved geospatial standards. Geospatial standards provide a vehicle for geospatial information to be described in a consistent, commonly understood, and agreed-upon way. Such standards enable interoperability: the ability to access, use, and understand information regardless of software or technology type.
discrete global grid systems (dggs) represent a new geospatial management category designed to enable visualization, storage, and analytically processing of global phenomena rapidly and accurately. Based on a partitioning of the earth`s surface into a spherical grid, dggs allows geospatial information to be represented in a way that more intuitively reflects relationships between data and the earth`s surface.
applications of dggs technology are proving to be useful for solving global-scale geospatial analysis problems on demand and in near real-time. Canadians and canada`s geospatial and natural resources domains will significantly benefit from this new analytical technology as it progresses. At this early stage, it is important to continue to standardize the technology, in order to benefit all canadians.
currently, characteristics of dggs have achieved initial standardization through an abstract specification of the open geospatial consortium (ogc). To drive greater
