NOTICE OF INQUIRY

environmental services

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal has received a complaint from eDNAtec Inc. (eDNAtec), of St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, concerning a procurement (solicitation F6088-230865B) made by the Department of Public Works and Government Services (PWGSC) on behalf of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. The solicitation was for the provision of environmental DNA analysis services. Pursuant to subsection 30.13(2) of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Act and subsection 7(2) of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Procurement Inquiry Regulations, notice is given that the Tribunal made a decision on June 19, 2025, to conduct an inquiry into the complaint.

eDNAtec alleges that PWGSC improperly awarded the contract to the University of Guelph, because the University is unfairly subsidized and its bid did not satisfy the technical requirements of the Request for Standing Offer.
