Nacia Forge is a 100% Indigenous woman-owned federal procurement intelligence and training company. Founded by Kaleena Bailey, a member of the Huron-Wendat Nation, based in Montreal, Quebec.
We built tools that help Indigenous businesses find, evaluate, and win federal government contracts under Canada’s mandatory 5% Indigenous procurement target.
The Forge Briefing delivers AI-scored federal opportunities directly to IBD-registered Indigenous businesses each morning. Every tender comes with a Fit Score, urgency flag, bid risk assessment, and recommended first action. No searching required.
The RFP Decoder analyses any federal tender document and identifies every mandatory requirement, disqualification risk, and compliance gap before you spend weeks on a bid that was never designed for you.
Training programs include the Government Contractor Readiness Accelerator for certified Indigenous businesses pursuing federal contracts, Procurement Mastery for non-Indigenous organizations implementing the 5% TIPS mandate, and the Indigenous Youth Launchpad for entrepreneurs ages 16–25.
Nacia Forge is CCIB certified, ID1N verified, IBD registered, and listed on the TIBT.ai Indigenous business directory.
The mandate is real. The contracts are there. Nacia Forge gives Indigenous businesses the intelligence to go after them.
