Nature of Requirements: 
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 THE REQUIREMENT
Defence R&D Canada Valcartier (DRDC-Valcartier) has a
requirement for the supply of one (1) handheld 3D laser scanner
system named "REVscan" from Creaform.


3. CRITERIA FOR ASSESSMENT OF THE STATEMENT OF CAPABILITIES
(MINIMUM ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS)
Any interested supplier must demonstrate by way of a statement
of capabilities that its system meets the following requirements:

The scanner system must have the following characteristics:
	.1 The instrument must be handheld and be freely manipulated by
the user, without recourse to external positioning or tracking
devices such as CMM, articulated arm, laser tracker, GPS,
electro-magnetic positioning device.
	.2 The whole scanner and its accessories (cable, support, and
calibration plate) must fit into a case.
	.3 The instrument must position itself relative to the target
with the use of not expensive passive reflective targets. These
surface markers must not create artefacts data in the scan
session.
	.4 The system must allows the user to select resolution as well
as scanned volume prior to the scan. The scanned object is saved
as one file, thus not creating multiple scans requiring
alignment, and not requiring post treatment to remove erroneous
data, smooth out the surface, etc.
	.5 The system must deliver a STL file in real-time.
	.6 The system must be able to measure parts with accuracy as
good as 0.04 mm, thus allowing for measurement of parts as thin
as 2 mm.

finishes without the need for painting, covering or any
alteration of the parts surface condition.
	.8 The system must allows for interactive editing of the
erroneous data or unwanted zones to be eliminated from the
surface scan during the scan process rather than after the scan.
	.9 The instrument must meet the following specifications:
		(a) Resolution: 0,100  mm
		(b) Accuracy: up to 0,050  mm
		(c) Laser class:  class II maximum
		(d) Volumetric Accuracy: 0,020 mm + 0,200 mm/m
		(e) Stand-Off Distance: 150 to 450 mm
		(f) Weight : 1 kg or less
		(g) Maximum dimensions: 200 mm (depth) x 300 mm (width) x 250
