     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. REQUIREMENT
    
    Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), Neepawa, Manitoba has a requirement for 350 Marine Safety Bags (Kits). These bags are used in the search for lost/distressed boaters in both commercial and recreational situations. Volunteers from communities often assist police and search and rescue agencies but do not have the proper safety equipment for emergency situations.  These kits will be distributed to Detachments across the province of Manitoba to be used as required. It is vital that the marine bags be delivered on the winter roads to have access to the remote northern communities.  Once the winter roads are closed access to these communities are limited if not impossible.  This could endanger the lives of the people who need the bags.  
    The mandatory delivery date is March 19, 2021.
