Indigenous-owned businesses

For vendors

Get found for the work you can do. Prime contractors and government buyers are looking for verified Indigenous businesses and usually can't find them. IndigiMatch changes that.

How it works

A directory entry says a name and a category. It doesn't say what you build, what you've delivered, what you're certified to do, or where you can work. IndigiMatch does. When your business is verified and your capabilities are recorded, you appear in matches for real contracts, and buyers see the evidence beside your name.

  • Tell us what you doComplete the Vendor Readiness Form: identity, ownership, certifications and quality systems, defence and security posture, capabilities, workforce, past performance, commercial readiness, and teaming interests.
  • We verifyIndigenous ownership and control at 51 percent or more is confirmed against the federal Indigenous Business Directory and recognized certification registries. If you aren't registered yet, we'll point you to it; registration is free. Nothing is published that isn't confirmed.
  • You appear in matchesWhen a contract calls for your capability, you're on the shortlist with your verification tier beside your name. Your details go only to the buyers you're matched to.
  • Gaps become plansIf you're close on a capability but missing a certification, a clearance, or a partner, the record says so, and teaming, mentorship, and pilot-lot pathways are part of the platform, not an afterthought.

There is no cost to Indigenous vendors to be verified and listed. Your information is used only to verify ownership and record capability; it is not sold, and it is not shared beyond the engagements you're matched to.

What buyers are asking for

On defence work, the questions come up in the same order every time: verified ownership, a documented quality system, Controlled Goods Program registration where the work is controlled, facility security clearance where it's required, and the capacity to scale. The readiness form walks through all of them, so your profile answers the questions before they're asked.

Who we're looking for

Indigenous-owned businesses across the trades, products, and services that defence and infrastructure programs buy. On aerospace sustainment: maintenance and mobile repair, component repair and overhaul, machining, sheet metal and bonding, composites, interiors, wiring and harness, technical publications, protective cases, IT services and hardware, and aircraft transport. On construction and infrastructure: structural steel, civil and earthworks, mechanical, electrical, fire protection, roofing and cladding, security and ICT, architecture and engineering, geotechnical and survey, environmental, commissioning, quantity surveying, and project management. If you're in a category where the Indigenous supply base is thin, we especially want to hear from you: that gap is a finding in someone's plan right now.
