Defence procurement

Public Services and Procurement Canada has the exclusive authority to acquire defence supplies of all kinds, including ships, on behalf of the Canadian Armed Forces and the Canadian Coast Guard. Tenders for procurement of defence related equipment and services can be found on the buyandsell.gc.ca website.

The Defence procurement strategy is leading the way on improving defence procurement for the Government of Canada.

The Foreign Military Sales program of the United States (U.S.) government is a means for allies and partners of the U.S., including Canada, to acquire defence articles controlled under the U.S. Arms Export Control Act.
