    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.
    
    DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUIREMENT
    
    The Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), has a requirement
    to establish a Regional Individual Standing Offer (RISO) for the
    purchase and delivery of the following moored current meter:
    Deepwater Aquadopp Current Meter: rated to 3000m (product code
    901102).   This is essential for determining the spatial and
    temporal variability of ocean currents for the inshore,
    continental shelf and offshore waters of Canada. These
    measurements support delivery of DFO mandates.
    
    Minimum Essential Requirements
    
    Any interested supplier must demonstrate by way of a statement
    of capabilities that its products meet the following
    requirements:
    
    1. Size - must fitexisting mooring support frames (hardware):
    diameter not greater than 3.375"(85.725 mm) and length not
    greater than 22" (558.8 mm); and 
    2.  Must Allow SBE Microcat to plug into it; and
    3. Must allow for the ability to select signal strength.  This
    creates the ability to boost the signal to receive better data
    quality - required for sampling in turbid waters; and
    4.  Must be rated up to 3000m.
    JUSTIFICATION OF SUGGESTED SUPPLIER

    DFO's stated mandatory requirements.
