PROCUREMENT THRESHOLDS — NUNAVUT
Nunavut.
Procurement thresholds for Nunavut municipalities. CFTA Article 504 sets the federal trade-agreement floor at $139,000 for goods and services; below that, the local bylaw governs.
CFTA ARTICLE 504 (2026–2027)
The Canadian Free Trade Agreement applies to MASH-sector procurement at or above CA$139,000 for goods and services and CA$347,400 for construction, effective January 1, 2026. Below those values, CFTA non-discrimination and posting rules do not apply.
NO LOWER TREATY FLOOR
No trade agreement below CFTA applies in this province. The local procurement bylaw is the operative authority for any contract under CA$139,000.
Confirmed direct-award and competitive-tender thresholds from the verified dataset. Every row links to the operative bylaw or policy. Verify against the municipality’s current document before quoting in a procurement decision.
No Nunavut municipalities are present in the published sample. The CFTA and any provincial framework above still apply to procurements in this jurisdiction; consult the local bylaw for direct-award rules.
At or above CA$50,000 the procurement will trigger trade-agreement coverage (Atlantic Procurement Agreement (APA)).
