4. Applicability of the trade agreement(s) to the procurement, and Limited Tendering Reasons
As this is a service contract on the behalf of the Department of National Defence under Federal Stock Class 16, it is exempt from the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in accordance with NAFTA Chapter 10, Annex 1001.1b-1 Section A para 2 and Annex 1001.1b-2, Section B General Note 1; and from the World Trade Organization Agreement on Government Procurement (WTO-AGP) in accordance with WTO-AGP Appendix 1, Annex 4, note 4.

5. Justification for the Pre-Identified Supplier

The supplier holds proprietary rights for maintenance procedures developed to repair and test RCAF aircraft fuel cells and refurbishment and maintenance procedures associated with the materials used for manufacturing of aircraft skis.
