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.

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).
