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

Attention! 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. As the resulting contract will require the production of or access to controlled goods that are subject to the Defence Production Act, R.S. 1985, c. D-1, bidders are advised that within Canada only persons who are registered, exempt or excluded under the Controlled Goods Program (CGP) are lawfully entitled to examine, possess or transfer controlled goods. Details on how to register under the CGP are available at: Controlled Goods Program and registration is carried out as follows:
    1. When the bid solicitation includes controlled goods information or technology, the Bidder must be registered, exempt or excluded under the CGP before receiving the bid solicitation. Requests for technical data packages or specifications related to controlled goods should be made in writing to the Contracting Authority identified in the bid solicitation and must contain the CGP registration number or written proof of exemption or exclusion of the Bidder and of any other person to whom the Bidder will give access to the controlled goods.
    2. When the bid solicitation does not include controlled goods information or technology but the resulting contract requires the production of or access to controlled goods, the successful Bidder and any subcontractor who will be producing or accessing controlled goods must be registered, exempt or excluded under the CGP before examining, possessing or transferring controlled goods.
    3. When the successful Bidder and any subcontractor proposed to examine, possess or transfer controlled goods are not registered, exempt or excluded under the CGP at time of contract award, the successful Bidder and any subcontractor must, within seven (7) working days from receipt of written notification of contract award, ensure that the required application(s) for registration or exemption are submitted to the CGP. No examination, possession or transfer of controlled goods must be performed until the successful Bidder has provided proof, satisfactory to the Contracting Authority, that the successful Bidder and any subcontractor are registered, exempt, or excluded under the CGP.
    Failure to provide proof, satisfactory to the Contracting Authority, that the successful Bidder and any subcontractor are registered, exempt or excluded under the CGP, within thirty (30) days from receipt of written notification of contract award, will be considered a default under the resulting contract except to the extent that Canada is responsible for the failure due to delay in processing the application.
  2. Bidders are advised that all information on the Application for Registration (or exemption) Form will be verified and errors or inaccuracies may cause significant delays and/or result in denial of registration or exemption.
