CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL TRADE TRIBUNAL

DETERMINATION

Scientific instruments

Notice is hereby given that, after completing its inquiry, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) made a determination (File No. PR-2011-027) on December 2, 2011, with respect to a complaint filed by Dymech Engineering Inc. (Dymech), of Greely, Ontario, pursuant to subsection 30.11(1) of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Act, R.S.C. 1985 (4th Supp.), c. 47, concerning a procurement (Solicitation No. KM044-101203/B) by the Department of Public Works and Government Services (PWGSC) on behalf of the Department of the Environment. The solicitation is for the manufacture, supply and delivery of tiltable poles for the support of wind measuring equipment.

Dymech alleged that PWGSC incorrectly declared its bid non-compliant.

Having examined the evidence presented by the parties and considered the provisions of the Agreement on Internal Trade, the North American Free Trade Agreement, the Canada-Chile Free Trade Agreement and the Canada-Peru Free Trade Agreement, the Tribunal determined that the complaint was not valid.

Further information may be obtained from the Secretary, Canadian International Trade Tribunal, Standard Life Centre, 15th Floor, 333 Laurier Avenue W, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0G7, 613-993-3595 (telephone), 613-990-2439 (fax), secretary@citt-tcce.gc.ca (email).
