- Like a national master standing offer, but limited to one region; any department in that region may issue call-ups.
- NISO — National Individual Standing Offer
- A standing offer set up for one identified department's use across Canada.
- RISO — Regional Individual Standing Offer
- A standing offer set up for one identified department's use in one region.
