Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN)
The purpose of this Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN) is to signal the government's intention to award a contract for services to the pre-identified supplier. Before awarding a contract, however, the government would like to provide other suppliers with the opportunity to demonstrate that they are capable of satisfying the requirements set out in this Notice, by submitting a statement of capabilities during the posting period.

If no other supplier submits, on or before the closing date, a statement of capabilities meeting the requirements set out in the ACAN, a contract may be awarded to the pre-selected supplier.
