CCI

Built for ITB. Optimized for Canadian Content.

CCI's entire network is engineered to help primes, OEMs, and contractors maximize their Canadian Content Value under the federal ITB policy.

What Is the ITB Policy?

The Government of Canada's Industrial and Technological Benefits (ITB) policy requires companies awarded federal defence and security contracts to conduct business activities in Canada equal in value to the contract. These activities must generate Canadian Content Value (CCV) - a measurable indicator of the economic benefit retained in Canada.

For companies bidding on or executing these contracts, demonstrating genuine Canadian industrial activity across their supply chain is not optional - it's a contractual obligation.

The Challenge for Primes & OEMs

Demonstrating and documenting CCV across multiple suppliers and disciplines
Finding qualified, certified Canadian suppliers for specialized manufacturing
Managing relationships with multiple SMEs simultaneously while maintaining quality and schedule

How CCI Solves It

Single point of contact for the entire Canadian supply chain
SME-focused network inherently maximizes CCV percentage
Certifications across the network meet defence-grade requirements
Deep familiarity with ITB policy, reporting, and compliance

What Counts Toward CCV

  • Manufacturing - parts, assemblies, and finished goods
  • Engineering - design, development, and NPI
  • Research & Development - new technology and product innovation
  • Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul (MRO)
