ARCHIVED Aboriginal Business Certification

Attention! We’ve Moved! The Supply Manual has moved to the CanadaBuys website. Check out the new landing page for the Supply Manual.

As part of the Acquisitions Program’s transformation agenda, PSPC is planning to archive and migrate the SACC manual to the CanadaBuys website. The SACC manual will continue to be available on the BuyandSell website to ensure continuity of service during this transition period. At this time, an initial version of the archived version of the SACC has been posted on CanadaBuys. We encourage you to go visit the site and get comfortable with the new format of the SACC at the following:

Legal text for SACC item

1.     The Contractor warrants that its certification of compliance is 
       accurate and complete and in accordance with the "Requirements for 
       the Set-aside Program for Aboriginal Business" detailed in Annex 9.4 
       of the Supply Manual.

2.     The Contractor must keep proper records and documentation relating 
       to the accuracy of the certification provided to Canada. The 
       Contractor must obtain the written consent of the Contracting 
       Authority before disposing of any such records or documentation  
       before the expiration of six (6) years after final payment under the 
       Contract, or until settlement of all outstanding claims and disputes,  
       under the Contract, whichever is later. All such records and 
       documentation must at all times during the retention period be open 
       to audit by the representatives of Canada, who may make copies and 
       take extracts. The Contractor must provide all reasonably required 
       facilities for any audits.

3.     Nothing in this clause must be interpreted as limiting the rights 
       and remedies which Canada may otherwise have pursuant to the 
       Contract.
