Sales to the U.S. Department of Defense and NASA

Canadian Commercial Corporation (CCC)

Last Verified: 2003-07-25

The Canadian Commercial Corporation (CCC) specializes in sales to the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and NASA, and is responsible for maintaining the Canada/U.S. Defense Production Sharing Arrangement (DPSA). This service provides Canadian exporters with privileged access to one of the largest procurement markets in the world. CCC helps put the power of Canada behind export sales.

Eligibility Criteria

Canadian firms selling outside of Canada.

Summary

Canada's reputation for high-quality, innovative aerospace and defense products and services is recognized around the world. CCC's specialized knowledge of foreign government procurement regulations and its preferred access to the U.S. government aerospace and defense market gives Canadian companies a distinct competitive advantage, and is often the difference between winning and losing a sale. CCC gives Canadian exporters access to key aerospace and defense sectors.

When Canadian exporters sell through CCC, they benefit from relaxed U.S. government procurement rules including:

  • waiver of U.S. cost accounting standards for contracts;
  • waiver of requirements for submitting cost and pricing data;
  • waiver of some of the regulations of the Buy American Act;
  • duty-free entry for goods and services.

At the request of the U.S. DoD, all purchases over US$100 000 from Canadian companies are contracted exclusively through CCC.

Fees for Service

CCC offers a number of services on a cost-recovery basis. Under the DPSA, sales to the U.S. DoD and NASA are provided free of charge.
