2025-LS-387 - ACAN Anatomy Models for Biomedical Lab

SFU has a requirement for realistic anatomy models for the purpose of educating medical students in the School of Medicine’s undergraduate and postgraduate programs.

It is SFU’s intention to award a contract for this set of anatomy models to Candent, a distributor of multiple Anatomical Model manufacturers.

These anatomy models will be used in teaching and learning activities in the new biomedical laboratory in the SFU School of Medicine. The medical school is funded by the BC provincial government and SFU.

An ACAN is a public notice indicating to the supplier community that SFU 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 submission deadline stated in the ACAN, SFU may then proceed with the award to the pre-identified supplier. If other potential suppliers submit Statements of Capabilities during the posting period, and meet the requirements set out in this ACAN, SFU may proceed to a Request for Proposal process.
