Contract Security Program
The Contract Security Program (CSP) screens contractors bidding on federal contracts that carry security requirements; PSPC administers it. The program then supplies the required security clauses to the contracting client, per Public Services and Procurement Canada's own description of how the CSP operates in practice.
