NRCan-500013326 - Compositional analysis of Devonian age granites in New-Brunswick (NRCan-500013326)

ADVANCE CONTRACT AWARD NOTICE (ACAN)

1. Definition

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 competitive requirements of the government's contracting policy have been met.

Following notification to suppliers not successful in demonstrating that their Statement of Capabilities meets the requirements set out in the ACAN, the contract may then be awarded using the Treasury Board's electronic bidding authorities.

If other potential suppliers submit Statement of Capabilities during the fifteen calendar day posting period, and meet the requirements set out in the ACAN, the department or agency must proceed to a full tendering process on either the government's electronic tendering service or through traditional means, in order to award the contract.

2. Definition of Requirements

Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) has a requirement to obtain major and trace element compositions for ferromagnesium minerals occurring within a variety of Devonian granites in New Brunswick, Canada. The overarching goal is to develop a comprehensive database of Devonian-aged granites from New Brunswick, representing emplacement in pre-, syn-, late-, and post-tectonic settings with affinities ranging from primitive to highly evolved A-, S-, and I-types granitoids and their hybrid varieties to help establish: 1) equilibrium/disequilibrium among the coexisting phases examined; 2) determine intra- and inter-mineral fractionation features that enhance existing whole-rock data of suites of granitoid rocks of various associations; and 3) link these to the generation of various granophile deposits.

Scope of work:

Obtain representative samples for a variety of Devonian granites occurring across New Brunswick. Sample sites to include the Burnthill, Dungarvon, Juniper Barrens, Lake George, Magaguadavic, Mount Douglas, Mount Elizabeth, Nashwaak, North Pole Stream, Pokiok, Papineau Falls and St Professional Services (TBIPS) Method of Supply is refreshed three (3) times per year.
