Security Requirements
DCC is an approved Federal Government source that may sponsor companies for security screening with Public Services and Procurement Canada's Contract Security Program (CSP). DCC may sponsor a company to obtain an Organization Security Screening for the following levels:
- Designated Organization Screening (DOS)
- Facility Security Clearance (FSC)
- Upgrades from DOS to FSC
IMPORTANT
Only firms that submit a bid or proposal on contracts requiring a security clearance may be sponsored.
DCC publishes Advance Procurement Notices (APNs) on the electronic bidding system (MERX) for a potential contract with anticipated security requirements, to provide interested consultants or contractors an opportunity to begin the sponsorship process to obtain the anticipated security clearance(s).
