About SACC Manual

Under the authority of sections 21 and 22 of the Department of Public Works and Government Services Act, Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) may incorporate terms and conditions contained in the Standard Acquisition Clauses and Conditions (SACC) Manual, by reference, into procurement documents issued by the Department.

The SACC Manual is intended to provide suppliers and clients of PWGSC with information on terms and conditions commonly used in the contracting process by the federal government and PWGSC. Its contents are referred to in bidding opportunities and contracting activities.

The SACC Manual is designed to make dealing with the government more time and cost efficient by reducing the level of detailed text contained within the various procurement documents. Those basic clauses and conditions which are normally attached to each document will be issued by the Department either Full Text or Incorporated by Reference.
