The Call #95 asks governments to transfer procurement processes to Indigenous institutions, using a “Supply Nation-type” model, and it also requires Indigenous control over centralized databases of Indigenous businesses. The strongest evidence is Indigenous-led organizational activity, the federal Transformative Indigenous Procurement Strategy (TIPS), Indigenous Business Directory (IBD), and Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business (PSIB) documentation, and Canada-based academic research. Together, these sources show that Canada has identified, co-developed, established, and piloted several pieces of the Call, including work on IBD devolution, Indigenous-led procurement and data infrastructure, First Nations procurement institution-building, CCIB certification and marketplace tools, and broader federal engagement on transforming Indigenous procurement. The federal engagement record reports more than 50 engagement sessions, participation in more than 20 conferences and tradeshows, and about 550 Indigenous participants.
The status is Active (Partial). Existing Canadian activity is directly connected to the Call and could be scaled, coordinated, and refined to move closer to full implementation. However, the Call is not yet fully met because control over government procurement processes and centralized Indigenous-business databases has not been fully devolved to Indigenous institutions or nationally institutionalized across governments.
