sector which best suits your type of business. This is not
meant to identify your clientele.
Business Size:
Number of full time, part time or temporary
employees that the business and its corporate affiliates in Canada
had during the last 12 months. If your business has been in
existence for less than 12 months, its size therefore means the
average number of employees of the business and its corporate
affiliates since its establishment.
Commodity Code:
A code for goods, services and construction
commodities based
on the Federal Supply Classification (FSC) system.
Geographic Supply Capability:
Areas where the goods and/or services can
be provided.
GSIN (Goods and
Services Identification Number):

GSIN for "fruits and vegetables" is N8915Z).
Note: N.E.S. in a commodity description means Not Elsewhere
Specified.
Legal Name:
Name of a business that appears on bank
statements or other legal documents. For sole proprietors it is the
individual's first and last name. For partners it is the first two
partners' names (first and last). For corporations it is the name
appearing on the Articles or Certificate of Incorporation. To change
the legal name in SRI, send a request by email to the system
administrator: SAC-PAC@tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca .
Official Language:
This refers to the official language (English
and French) in which you prefer to communicate.
Operating Name:

customers or clients. It may be the
same as the legal name.
Procurement Business Number
(PBN):
The number consists of the first nine digits
of your Business Number (BN) and a suffix of two letters (PG) and
four numbers; it uniquely identifies your account in SRI.
Type of Ownership:
This refers to whether the business is a
corporation; a sole proprietorship, a
partnership or other. Note that Canada Revenue Agency does not
assign BN to joint ventures. Generally, participants in a joint
venture name a "joint venture operator"; this person accounts for
the day to day operations. A PBN is created for the joint venture
under the Business Number of the operator. Therefore in the case
of a joint venture, the type of ownership to be entered in SRI is
that of the operator as registered with the Canada Revenue Agency.
