Key procurement sectors
Canada procurement landscape
PSPC is one of the world's larger government procurement agencies by annual volume, responsible for everything from office supplies to multi-billion-dollar defense acquisitions. The National Shipbuilding Strategy is among its most significant long-term programs, awarding construction of major surface combatants to Irving Shipbuilding and arctic and offshore patrol vessels alongside other vessel types to Seaspan, representing sustained work over decades. Enterprise IT procurement — cloud services, software licensing, and managed services — is another large and growing category as the federal government modernizes its digital infrastructure. Defense acquisitions must satisfy Canadian content requirements where applicable and comply with Industrial and Technological Benefits policy, which requires prime contractors on major defense platforms to commit to economic activity in Canada proportional to contract value. Bilingualism requirements mean tender documents are published in both official languages. PSPC also manages the federal government's standing offers and supply arrangements, which form the basis of much repetitive buying.
