UNSPSC Implementation
The international classification system for procurement items called the United Nations Standard Products and Services Code (UNSPSC) will start to replace the Government of Canada’s Goods and Services Identification Numbers (GSIN) codes in 2021.
The Government of Canada will start to use the UNSPSC codes to identify goods and services for procurement activities. Over the course of the transition from GSIN to UNSPSC, the information on Buyandsell.gc.ca, including Tenders, Standing Offers and Supply Arrangements, and Contract History, will eventually be connected and inter-linked using UNSPSC.
Open Contracting Data Standard Pilot
Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) Open Contracting Data Standard (OCDS) Pilot demonstrates the usage of the standard by linking the stages of the procurement cycle using data from procurements conducted by PSPC on behalf of government departments and agencies.
