The Procurement and Contracts Authority of North America (PCANA) offers a streamlined, transparent, and secure bidding process, connecting businesses with exclusive, high-value government tenders across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. With over $150M in monthly contract opportunities and 90% of verifications completed within 72 hours, our platform empowers verified vendors to compete for contracts not available on public portals, spanning infrastructure, defense, healthcare, technology, and more.

How It Works

Our five-step process is designed to prioritize fairness, compliance, and efficiency, ensuring businesses of all sizes can succeed in North America’s dynamic procurement landscape.

Step 1: Register Your Business

Join PCANA’s secure platform by registering through our secure and encrypted portal. Registration takes approximately 10 minutes and requires:

  • Corporate documentation (e.g., business license, tax ID)
  • Compliance certificates (e.g., sector-specific certifications)
  • Past performance data (optional for new vendors)

Upon approval, receive a unique PCANA Vendor ID, granting access to exclusive tenders, bid documents, and real-time updates.

Step 2: Compliance Verification

Our expert team verifies your credentials within 3–5 business days (90% in under 72 hours) to ensure compliance with U.S., Canadian, and Mexican procurement regulations. This step confirms:

  • Financial stability
  • Sector-specific qualifications
  • Jurisdictional compliance

Approved vendors gain access to a personalized dashboard for browsing and tracking tenders.

Step 3: Access and Review Tenders

Explore a searchable database of exclusive and public tenders, with over 1,200 contracts awarded monthly. Access includes:

  • Request for Proposal (RFP)/Request for Quotation (RFQ) Documents: Detailed project scopes, timelines, and evaluation criteria.
  • Real-Time Support: Contact PCANA representatives for clarification.
  • Secure Downloads: Access restricted documents through our encrypted portal.

Note: Tender documents are available only to registered and verified vendors.

Step 4: Submit Your Bid

Submit your proposal through our digital portal, ensuring:

  • Inclusion of all required documents (e.g., pricing, technical specifications)
  • Your company’s registered name and PCANA Vendor ID
  • Adherence to RFP/RFQ deadlines and format guidelines

Important: Submissions from unverified vendors or missing required documents are automatically rejected.

Step 5: Evaluation and Contract Award

Bids are evaluated by an independent selection committee, comprising PCANA and procuring entity representatives, using transparent criteria:

  • Cost competitiveness
  • Technical expertise
  • Regulatory compliance

All vendors receive post-award debriefings, and contract awards are publicly disclosed for transparency. Successful bidders are notified via their dashboard and invited to execute contracts with clear milestone-based payment terms.
