Industry Canada has a requirement for the supply and delivery of
three (3) 5-Series Powermaster (5300) on or before March 28,
2013.

Industry Canada's field test installations are designed to
acccept specific connection interfaces.  A critical component to
IC's measurement is the input of correction factors for
increased accuracy.

The True Three Phase Field Testing Analyzer must meet the
following mandatory specifications:

measurement function
Display individual waveforms, for voltage, current, power (Plot)
Display complete CT Burden Results in form of Accuracy
Parallelograms per pahse, including ratio and phase error's
Display complete Harmonic Analysis Results (Plot)
Display demand test data results
Simultaneously display complete site analysis summary including
vector diagram (plot), waveforms (plot), harmonic analysis
(plot) and customer load test date
Programmed with all Canadian (MC Standard) Meter Drawings

The only known supplier of a system meeting the technical
specifications required is Power Source Instruments Inc..  For
this reason it is proposed to negotiate directly with them for
this requirement.

Single sourcing applies under the following:

-GCR. Section 6d) : Only one person is capable of performing the
contract.

-AIT, Article 506.12 a) : to ensure compatibility with existing
products, to recognize exclusive rights, such as exclusive
licences, copyright and patent rights, or to maintain
specialized products that must be maintained by the manufacturer
or its representative.

NAFTA, Article 1016.2 b): 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.


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.
