OECM Takes Additional Steps to Support Canadian Suppliers!

September 9, 2025

OECM is proud to reaffirm our commitment to Ontario’s and Canada’s broader economic goals.

As outlined in our May 20th update that included a set of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ), we continue to assist our customers in navigating the Government of Ontario’s Procurement Restriction Policy on U.S. Businesses, which came into effect on March 4, 2025.

New Website Enhancements To Highlight Canadian Suppliers

To make it easier for customers to identify and engage with Canadian suppliers, we’ve introduced the following enhancements across the OECM Marketplace:

  • Canadian Flag Icon: Canadian businesses now display a Canadian flag icon next to their name across agreement landing pages and throughout the OECM Marketplace.
  • Canadian Supplier Filter: A new filter feature allows customers to easily view and select Canadian suppliers via a convenient drop-down menu.
  • Marketplace Guide Updates: Our downloadable Marketplace Guide has been updated to clearly highlight Canadian suppliers for faster and easier reference.

These enhancements reflect OECM’s ongoing efforts to promote local economic development while helping customers meet procurement goals in a streamlined and transparent manner.

We invite you to explore our website and discover the wide range of goods and services offered by our Canadian supplier partners.
