Built from ISC Open Government data

Indigenous Procurement Intelligence

Department-by-department performance against the federal 5% target, cross-referenced with where departments say they can't find Indigenous suppliers.

Sorted by total contract spend — biggest-spending departments that can't find supply in this category appear first. That intersection (capacity gap × large spend × below-target performance) is the closest thing to a tendering green light in the public data.

This is real, current data — with a real ceiling

Everything above comes from three published ISC datasets: the FY2022‑23, FY2023‑24, and FY2024‑25 Results files, and the Capacity Gaps file from the current planning dataset. The FY2024‑25 government‑wide percentage shown in the stat strip above is not yet published anywhere as a single figure — it's calculated here directly from the underlying department-level rows, the same way ISC calculates its own headline number.

But this is still an input measure, not an impact measure. It shows contracts directed toward Indigenous Business Directory-registered businesses — not dollars that reached Indigenous workers, communities, or community-owned enterprises. A genuine accountability dashboard would need five fields that don't exist in any public dataset yet:

  • Distinction-based breakdownNo public field separates First Nations, Inuit, and Métis-owned business value — equitable distribution across groups can't be assessed.
  • Verified delivery locationOnly vendor postal code is public, not where work was performed — treaty-territory benefit can't be confirmed.
  • Subcontracting transparencyFY2024‑25 is the first year non-Indigenous primes can count Indigenous subcontracting toward target — no public dataset shows which primes or which subs.
  • PSIB set-aside utilization rateSet-aside type is missing from most planning files — can't tell if departments use protective set-asides or just buy from registered firms.
  • IBD verification status at awardNo public flag confirms a business's Indigenous registration was checked at the moment a contract was awarded.
