Context

The Ineligibility and Suspension Policy enables Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) to issue information bulletins associated with the Policy to provide greater clarity for informational purposes only.

Exclusion of acquisitions made using Government of Canada acquisition cards

The Ineligibility and Suspension Policy excludes any acquisition, regardless of dollar value, made using a Government of Canada acquisition card.

Acquisition cards are defined as:

“a charge card issued under a contract between a card issuer and Canada for the procurement and payment of goods and services for authorized official government business.”

Objective of exclusion

This risk-based approach excludes routine expense items for standard maintenance, repair and operational goods and services that are typically low dollar value.
