Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC)
Are you interested in selling your goods and services to the federal government? If so, you should register in the Supplier Registration Information (SRI) system as a potential supplier to the Government of Canada. SRI is used by federal government buyers to identify potential suppliers for purchases not subject to any of the trade agreements (for which they use MERX).
An important feature of SRI is the Procurement Business Number (PBN) created using your Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) Business Number (BN) to uniquely identify a branch, division, or office of your company. Public Works and Government Services Canada is using the BN for its purchasing and payment systems as a supplier identifier code.
