Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN) ACAN 25-58292 – Sliding Load Apparatus -SLA Prototype 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 National Research Council Canada’s (NRC) – Ocean, Coastal and River Engineering (OCRE) Research Centre has a requirement for an SLA - Sliding Load Apparatus prototype to be produced and commissioned in the Harsh Environment Research Facility (HERF) at the Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN). The SLA prototype must be physically and functionally integrated with the MUN owned apparatus: Ice Structure Dynamics Apparatus (ISDA). The SLA will be owned by NRC-OCRE and will be used for conducting laboratory experiments on sliding impact loads (from ice, rigid and other indenters) on full-scale ship hull structures. The HERF’s cold room, ISDA integration, and existing technical design are unique to MUN. 3. 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 meets the following requirements: a.

Exclusive Integration Requirement: • The SLA must be physically and functionally integrated with MUN’s Ice Structure Dynamics Apparatus (ISDA). • The ISDA is owned, operated, and maintained by MUN and is not accessible for integration at any other institution. • Integration requires access to proprietary design data and instrumentation available only through MUN. c. Specialized Expertise and Research Continuity: • MUN researchers possess unique expertise in ice mechanics, ice structure dynamics, and cold region engineering, developed over years of collaboration with NRC OCRE. • The existing technical design and research continuity between MUN and NRC OCRE are essential to ensure functional alignment and scientific validity. d. Ownership and Operational Location: • The SLA will be owned by NRC OCRE but permanently located at MUN to operate within HERF and ISDA. • No other institution can provide the same integration environment or technical continuity required for the project’s success. 4.
