One Procurement Partner for First Nations Communities
First Nations communities purchase thousands of different products every year—from water treatment supplies and building materials to classroom furniture, office supplies, safety equipment, technology, and household goods.
Managing all those purchases can mean dealing with dozens of suppliers, tracking multiple quotes and orders, coordinating freight, and spending valuable staff time searching for products.
Mashkode Supply offers a simpler approach: one procurement partner for the entire community.
Tell Us What You Need. We’ll Source It.
Mashkode Supply is built around procurement rather than a limited product catalogue.
Our customers don't need to search through dozens of suppliers to find the right product. Tell us what you need, and our team will source it, quote it, and coordinate the order.
That could mean supplying everyday consumables or helping source specialized equipment for a major community project.
We support purchasing requirements across departments including:
Public Works and Infrastructure
Water & Wastewater
Education and Schools
Band Administration
Health & Community Services
Housing
Building & Facility Maintenance
Safety & PPE
Tools & Equipment
Office Supplies and Furniture
Education Technology
Home Furniture, Appliances & Housewares
Emergency & Backup Equipment
Thousands of products. Hundreds of brands. One point of contact.
Procurement That Starts With Your Requirements
Sometimes the hardest part of purchasing isn't ordering the product—it's finding the right product in the first place.
Your team may know what needs to be accomplished without knowing the exact manufacturer, model or supplier.
That's where Mashkode can help.
Send us a product description, specification, part number, photo, equipment list or project requirement. Our procurement team can research available options and help identify products that meet your operational requirements and budget.
Instead of asking, “Do you sell this?”, ask us:
“Can you source this for us?”
That's the difference between working with a traditional supplier and working with a procurement partner.
One Partner Across the Community
A community shouldn't necessarily need a different supplier for every department.
The school may need Chromebooks and classroom furniture. Public Works may need pumps, tools and safety equipment. The water treatment plant may need chemicals, testing equipment and replacement components. Housing may need appliances and building materials. Administration may need office furniture, printers and supplies.
Mashkode can help coordinate all of it.
Consolidating purchasing through one procurement partner can simplify quoting, communication, order tracking and vendor management while giving community departments a consistent point of contact.
Supporting Remote and Winter-Road Communities
Procurement becomes even more important when serving remote communities.
Freight costs, seasonal access, lead times and winter-road deadlines can turn a routine purchase into a logistical challenge.
Mashkode works with communities to help identify requirements earlier, consolidate purchasing where practical, and plan orders around transportation and seasonal delivery windows.
For winter-road communities in particular, our goal is to help customers think beyond individual orders and develop a coordinated procurement plan before the road opens.
First Nations Owned. Focused on First Nations Procurement.
Mashkode Supply is 100% First Nations owned by Brokenhead Ojibway Nation.
We believe there is an opportunity to build a stronger procurement network where more of the purchasing done by First Nations governments, schools, organizations and businesses is directed through First Nations-owned companies.
But ownership alone isn't enough.
We want to earn that business by providing competitive pricing, responsive service, reliable sourcing and practical procurement support.
Our objective is straightforward: make it easier for First Nations communities to buy what they need while helping keep more procurement activity within the First Nations economy.
One Request. One Point of Contact. More Possibilities.
Whether you need a box of supplies, a replacement pump, 30 laptops, furniture for a new office, appliances for housing units, equipment for Public Works or products for an entire capital project, start with Mashkode.
If your community needs it, give us the opportunity to source it.
