Airlift Capability Project – MERX ACAN –
CF Procurement – August 2006 Canadian Forces Strategic Airlift — MERX C-17 ACAN Notice 
In early July 2006, the Canadian government issued an ACAN announcing its intention
to place orders with Boeing for four C-17 Globe- master III transport aircraft. Although a "Nat- ional
Security Exception" was invoked, this ACAN took pains to exclude trade and other
agreements. The purpose of the ACAN was to allow potential competitors to challenge a Boeing order and.
thereby, avoid any allegations of government "single-sourcing".Read text of Airlift Capability Project-Strategic ACAN (as published on MERX) |

sixteen Boeing CH-47F+ Chinook transport helicopters. As with the C-17 ACAN, a
