    ADVANCED 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.

    (a) and 12 (b) of AIT, Article 1016, 2 (b) of NAFTA and Article
    XV, 1.(b); of WTO-AGP are applicable on the basis of limited
    tendering where, for works of art, or for reasons connected with
    the protection of patents, copyrights or other exclusive rights,
    or proprietary information or where there is an absence of
    competition for technical reasons, the goods or services can be
    supplied only by a particular supplier and no reasonable
    alternative or substitute exists.

    allies allowing for a  		common platform for situational and
    planning purposes on both national and 			multinational
    operations.

    Collins Bartholomew products 		in Canada.
