The Procurement Restriction Policy The Procurement Restriction Policy is issued under the authority of the Management Board of Cabinet Act, 1990, and the Broader Public Sector Accountability Act, 2010. This Procurement Restriction Policy (the “Policy”) was established to restrict public sector buyers from procuring goods and services from U.S. businesses. The Policy was established as part of an Ontario government response to U.S. tariffs on Canadian products and services. If the relevant tariffs are removed, the Policy may be adjusted or rescinded. U.S. Business Definition “U.S. business” means a supplier, manufacturer, or distributor of any business structure (includes a sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation, or other business structure) that: 1. has its headquarters or main office located in the U.S., and 2. has fewer than 250 full-time employees in Canada at the time of the applicable procurement process. If a respondent or vendor is a subsidiary of another corporation, part 1 of the definition above is met if that respondent or vendor is controlled by a corporation that has its headquarters or main office located in the U.S. Please note that a respondent’s eligibility must be demonstrated before a Quotation may be accepted. A Quotation submitted by a U.S. business will be considered non-compliant and not evaluated if it does not satisfy the eligibility requirements set out in the procurement document(s).
