National Research Council Canada Canadian Photonics &
Fabrication Centre has a requirement for the supply of thirty
(30) wafers for delivery to Ottawa, Ontario.  The delivery is
mandatory by 31st March 2013.

The required epiwafers must be compatible with the NRC Gallium
Nitride design kit.  The new wafers must have a minimum output
of 0.926 amperes per mm.  The new wafers must have a maximum
gate leakage current of 0.0002 ampere per mm, when fabricated at
the Canadian Photonics Fabrication Center.

The only known supplier of wafers meeting all required technical
specifications is Cree Inc.  For this reason, it is proposed to
negotiate this requirement with the manufacturer Cree Inc,
Durham, NC, USA.
Delivery Date: Above-mentioned

You are hereby notified that the government intends to negotiate
with one firm only as identified above. Should you have any
questions concerning this requirement, contact the contracting
officer identified above.

An Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN) allows departments and
agencies to post a notice, for no less than fifteen (15)
calendar days, indicating to the supplier community that it
intends to award a good, service or construction contract to a
pre-identified contractor. If no other supplier submits, on or
before the closing date, a Statement of Capabilities that meets
the requirements set out in the ACAN, the contracting authority
may then proceed with the award.  However, should a Statement of
Capabilities be found to meet the requirements set out in the
ACAN, then the contracting authority will proceed to a full
tendering process.

Suppliers who consider themselves fully qualified and available
to provide the services/goods described herein, may submit a
statement of capabilities in writing to the contact person
identified in this Notice on or before the closing date of this
Notice. The statement of capabilities must clearly demonstrate
how the supplier meets the advertised requirements.

The PWGSC file number, the contracting officer's name and the
closing date of the ACAN must appear on the outside of the
envelope in block letters or, in the case of a facsimile
transmission, on the covering page.

The Crown retains the right to negotiate with suppliers on any
procurement.

Documents may be submitted in either official language of Canada.
