U.S. Businesses

In response to U.S. tariffs on Canadian products and services, and aligned with the provincial Procurement Restriction Policy, Bidders/Proponents are advised that the County of Simcoe may consider submissions from a U.S. business to be non-compliant where Canadian or non-American goods and services are readily available.

A U.S. business means a supplier, manufacturer, or distributor of any business structure (includes a sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation or other business structure) that:

1.    has its headquarters or main office located in the U.S., and
2.    has fewer than 250 full-time employees in Canada at the time of the applicable procurement process.

If a Bidder/Proponent or vendor is a subsidiary of another corporation, part 1 of the definition above is met if that Bidder/Proponent or vendor is controlled by a corporation that has its headquarters or main office located in the U.S.
