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).

  • Submit a sponsorship request

    Please consult the Advance Procurement Notice (APN) on the electronic bidding system (Merx) to identify opportunities for which you may be interested in bidding.
