Goods and Services Identification Number

Prior to 2021, the Government of Canada used Goods and Services Identification Number (GSIN) codes to identify generic product descriptions for its procurement activities. GSIN codes were used to connect all of the procurement information, including Tender Notices, Award Notices, Standing Offers and Supply Arrangements, and Contract History.

The GSIN CSV file published on this page is updated on an “as needed” frequency, when codes are either created or deactivated.

Please see the Mapping of Goods and Services Identification Number to United Nations Standard Products and Services Code dataset for a resource that compares GSIN codes to a subset of the United Nations Standard Products and Services Codes, version 21 (UNSPSC, v21) that are in use by the Government of Canada currently.

As of March 23, 2023, the data dictionary linked below includes entries for this dataset, as well as for the datafiles of the Mapping of Goods and Services Identification Number to United Nations Standard Products and Services Code dataset and the archived United Nations Standard Products and Services Codes (v10, released 2007) dataset.
