1. Advance 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.
 
2. Definition of the requirement 
The Department of Public services and Procurement Canada - Geomatics has a requirement for the supply and delivery of 1 terrestrial LIDAR scanner. 

3. Criteria for assessment of the Statement of Capabilities (Minimum Essential Requirements) 
PSPC requires a terrestrial LIDAR scanner capable of the following:
• Operating range exceeding 1500 metres.
• Capable of operating in a marine environment mounted on the roof of a survey vessel.  The scanner must be rigidly mounted with a fixed orientation either to port or starboard (or both) so angular offsets of the installation can be calibrated.
• Capable of accepting position/attitude data from an Applanix POSMV positioning system with which both PSPC survey vessels are equipped.
• Capable of interfacing with the proprietary QINSy data collection software which is used on PSPC survey vessels.
• Data output from the unit must be such that post-processing of data can be done in the proprietary Caris HIPS/SIPS software used by PSPC where all post-processed position/attitude data can be applied and corrected (roll-pitch-yaw-heave-surge-sway).

4. Applicability of the trade agreement(s) to the procurement 
This procurement is subject to the following trade agreements:
- Canadian Free Trade Agreement
- Canadian Free Trade Agreement with Korea

5. Justification for the Pre-Identified Supplier 
The Teledyne Optech Polaris scanner is the only known unit which meets the range requirement (1500 metres plus) to survey extensive foreshore mud flat regions.  PSPC uses QINSy data acquisition software exclusively on survey vessels.  This software seamlessly integrates and controls the Polaris scanner.  The Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS) also uses this scanner with QINSy data collection software.  PSPC has had a demonstration of the scanner on our vessel Pacific Echo.  CHS reports good data consistency and reliable system operation to the range extents we require. 

DASCO is the Teledyne Optech Polaris distributor for Canada.
