The solicitation was for a multi-spectral electro-optics/ infrared suite to modernize and upgrade the CP140 Aurora aircraft's avionics and sensor systems. The Tribunal decided to conduct an inquiry into whether the specifications provided in the solicitation, as they relate to the electro-optical/infrared sensor, were written in terms of design and descriptive characteristics and not in terms of performance outputs, that is, the solicitation includes unnecessary restrictive technical specifications, contrary to the provisions of the Agreement on Internal Trade. Having examined the evidence presented by the parties and considered the provisions of the Agreement on Internal Trade, the North American Free Trade Agreement and the Agreement on Government Procurement, 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 (Facsimile).
