Government contracts by place
By where the vendor is based, going by the postal code on the contract or, where it gives none, the one on the vendor’s other contracts. That is the vendor’s address, not where the work was done. Rural postal codes cover many towns, so contracts there count in their province but not a city.
Federal contracts over $10,000, contracts dated Jan 2004 to Sep 2026, each counted once at its latest reported value. Source: Treasury Board proactive publication of contracts, published October 13, 2026. Departments give a postal code on fewer than half of contracts: 63% of federal contracts can be placed in a province, so place totals understate what went to each.
