A licence records permission to operate. It is issued by a municipality, not by a corporate registrar, and its presence says the organisation traded at that address on that date — nothing about whether it does today.

Value as published, not money paid. The federal contract value field includes the ceiling of standing offers and supply arrangements — purchasing capacity a department may never draw on. A large figure here can mean a large ceiling rather than a large payment.

Awards are attached to this record only where the evidence identifies exactly one organisation: a name and postal area that narrow to a single company, or a name unique across the whole national corpus. Proactive publication truncates the vendor postal code to three characters, so anything that could belong to more than one company is left unattached rather than guessed at. Totals are a floor in that direction. The full rules.

Why this is one record

2 publishers describe this organisation. They were joined into one record because the evidence below agreed — never on a matching name alone.

Same name and postal code V6K 1G9
asserted by City of Vancouver
Same name and address — 2650 w 1st, vancouver, BC
asserted by City of Vancouver

An automatic merge requires a shared business number, or a matching name AND address — never a name by itself. How resolution works.
