Conditional Set-aside under the Federal Government Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business (PSIB)

This procurement is conditionally set aside under the Federal Government Procurement Strategy for Aboriginal Business. For more information on Aboriginal business requirements of the Set-aside Program for Aboriginal Business, refer to Annex 9.4 of the Supply Manual.

This is an open tender. However, it will be set-aside under the Government of Canada’s Procurement Strategy for Aboriginal Business (PSAB) if two or more bids have been received by Aboriginal businesses who are certified under the Procurement Strategy for Aboriginal Business (PSAB) criteria and who may be listed in the Government of Canada’s Indigenous Business Directory (https://www.aadncaandc.gc.ca/eng/1100100033057/1100100033058).

If your Aboriginal business is not yet registered in the Indigenous Business Directory, please do so at the link provided above. If bids from two or more Aboriginal businesses are compliant with the terms of the Request for Proposal, the contracting authority will limit the competition to those Aboriginal businesses and will not consider bids from any non-Aboriginal businesses that may have been submitted. If the bids from the Aboriginal businesses are found to be non-compliant or non-responsive or are withdrawn, such that fewer than two compliant bids from Aboriginal businesses remain, bids from all of the non-Aboriginal businesses that had submitted bids will then be considered by the contracting authority.

If it is Set-aside, this procurement is set aside from the international trade agreements under the provision each has for measures with respect to Indigenous peoples or for set-asides for small and minority businesses.

If it is Set-aside, Further to Article 800 of the Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA), CFTA does not apply to this procurement.
