About the PG Classification

The PG (Purchasing and Supply) group covers procurement officers, contract managers, and supply chain specialists who manage the federal government's purchasing activities. PG employees handle everything from routine office supply purchases to multi-billion-dollar military equipment contracts and complex IT outsourcing agreements. They work across virtually every federal department, with the largest concentrations at Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC), National Defence, and the Canadian Coast Guard.

PG-01 and PG-02 cover junior purchasing clerks and procurement assistants — processing purchase orders, managing vendor databases, and handling low-complexity contracts. PG-03 and PG-04 are working-level procurement officers managing competitive bid processes, evaluating proposals, and negotiating contracts. PG-05 and PG-06 are senior procurement managers and directors overseeing procurement programs for major departments or complex acquisitions like defence procurement or IT modernization projects.

The PG group is represented by PSAC and is part of the Economic and Social Science Services (EB) collective agreement. Federal procurement is governed by an extensive regulatory framework — the Government Contracts Regulations, trade agreements (CETA, CUSMA), and Treasury Board policies — making PG work more legally complex than private-sector purchasing. The federal government spends approximately $25 billion annually on goods and services, and PG officers are the gatekeepers ensuring this spending is fair, transparent, and value-for-money.
