Get Contracts and Make Sales to the U.S. & Canadian Governments
There are billions of dollars of U.S. and Canadian government procurement opportunities waiting for companies to win!
Learn more about U.S. procurement opportunities, and how our Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) can help you.
Explore Canada's internet-based tendering service (MERX). MERX, coupled with free trade agreements, has opened the door for U.S. companies to successfully compete in this lucrative market.
Canada's federal government procures over US$3 billion a year in goods, services and construction. Procurement by municipalities, school boards, universities and hospitals is estimated at over US$22 billion.
