    Nature of Requirements: 
    ADVANCED CONTRACT AWARD NOTICE
    
    Dental Clinic Accreditation Services for the Department of
    National Defence (DND)
    
    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.
    Definition of the Requirement:
    
    DND has a requirement for the provision of accreditation of
    Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) dental services at different
    locations across Canada. Currently, DND engages in a nationally
    recognized system wide accreditation of its health care
    delivery, however, the dental services are not part of this
    process.
    In order to ensure the highest quality and standards of dental
    services provided to the members of the CAF, DND has a
    requirement to provide its dental services, with a nationally
    recognized dental accreditation process. The intent of this
    process is to create a model that accredits individual CAF
    dental treatment facilities and system.  
    
    The Contractor must carry out an accreditation program with
    accreditation standards suitable to the Canadian Forces Dental
    Services (CFDS) by conducting on-site surveys, providing
    training, support, and reports during the accreditation cycle. 
    Criteria for assessment of the Statement of Capabilities
    (Minimum Essential Requirements):
    
    Any interested supplier must demonstrate by way of a statement
    of capabilities that it has conducted accreditation surveys for
    dental services and meets the following requirements:
    (a)	Demonstrate your organization has a nationally recognized
    dental accreditation process and include the accreditation
    standards used;
    
    (b)	Demonstrate how many accreditation surveys for dental
    services have been completed to date by  your organization; 
    
    (c)	Provide the names of organizations for which you have
    conducted accreditation surveys for dental services; and,
    
    (d)	Demonstrate how the work will be conducted at various
    locations across Canada. 
    
    Applicability of the trade agreement(s) to the procurement:
    The following trade agreements are applicable to this
    procurement: 
    ·	The Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT).
    
    Comprehensive Land Claims Agreement(s):
    
    For this procurement, any services delivered in Yellowknife,
    NWT, are subject to the Tlicho Land Claims Agreement.
    
    Justification for the Pre-Identified Supplier:
    
    The Commission on Dental Accreditation of Canada (CDAC) is a
    subdivision of the Canadian Dental Association (CDA). Within the
    dental industry in Canada, CDAC/CDA is the accrediting body of
    all dental, dental specialty, dental residency, dental hygiene
    and dental assisting education programs as well as dental
    services within a health care system or facility.  The only
    exception is in Quebec, where dental services accredited by
    Ordre des Dentists du Québec are recognized by CDAC. CDAC
    currently has the accreditation requirements to align with the
    DND structure and to DND policies and processes currently in
    place on a national basis.
    
    Government Contracts Regulations Exception(s):
    
    The following exception to the Government Contracts Regulations
    is invoked for this procurement under Section 6, 6 (d) only one
    person or firm is capable of performing the contract.
    
    Exclusions and/or Limited Tendering Reasons:
    
    The following exclusion(s) and/or limited tendering reasons are
    invoked under Article 506.12(b) of AIT as this requirement can
    be fulfilled by only one supplier.
    
    Ownership of Intellectual Property:
    
    Ownership of any Foreground Intellectual Property arising out of
    the proposed contract will vest in the Contractor.
    
    Security Requirement:
    
    This requirement is subject to a security requirement as the
    supplier and its employers may be required to access protected
    and/or classified information or assets.
    
    Period of the proposed contract or delivery date:
    
    The proposed contract will be for a period of five years from
    contract award with an option to extend the contract by up to
    one additional five-year option period under the same
    conditions.
