Key procurement sectors
Canada procurement landscape
Canada's defense acquisition agenda is shaped by a combination of capability imperatives and industrial-policy objectives. Major programs currently in active procurement include the F-35 fighter fleet replacement and the National Shipbuilding Strategy, which is delivering the River-class destroyers, Arctic and Offshore Patrol Ships, and future surface combatants through two designated Canadian shipyards. A defining feature of Canadian defense procurement is the Industrial and Technological Benefits (ITB) policy, which requires prime contractors to invest an equivalent value to the contract amount in the Canadian economy through defined business activities — a policy that significantly shapes how foreign primes structure their bids and supply chains. Tender categories span aerospace platforms, naval vessels, land vehicles, munitions, and long-term sustainment and in-service support contracts, the last of which can represent substantial multi-decade revenue streams.
Bidding on Canada tenders.
Vendors must typically be registered on Buyandsell.gc.ca and, for defense-specific work, may require Canadian security clearance and compliance with the ITB policy's economic-offset obligations. Major platform bids are typically structured around a prime contractor with a compliant ITB plan.

What is the Industrial and Technological Benefits (ITB) policy? +
ITB requires defense prime contractors to invest an equivalent value to the contract in the Canadian economy through defined business activities, influencing how foreign primes structure bids and domestic partnerships.
Which departments are involved in Canadian defense procurement? +
DND defines requirements, PSPC manages the contracting process, and ISED oversees ITB compliance — making Canadian defense acquisition a tri-departmental process.
