One Year Supply Performance of 20 Billion KRW for Procurement Service Registered 'Convergence and Complex Products'

[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] The Public Procurement Service announced on the 18th that after establishing the Convergence Product Purchasing Office as a venture-type organization last year, it achieved a supply performance of 20 billion KRW in convergence products within one year.

The Convergence Product Purchasing Office is a venture-type organization selected through an idea contest by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety. It plays a role in promoting challenging tasks that enhance public convenience when successful, despite unclear administrative demand forecasts and performance achievement.

In the same context, the Convergence Product Purchasing Office helped convergence products, which had difficulty entering the procurement market due to registration challenges under the existing product classification system (UNSPSC), to smoothly enter the public procurement market.

They separately classified convergence products under group 99, which is not used in the product classification system, enabling rapid registration of these products. Additionally, they relaxed the manufacturing registration criteria so that participation in bidding is possible if at least one component is manufactured.

As a result, as of this month, the Public Procurement Service has registered 225 items under 27 product names as convergence products. In particular, 14 products, including LED-type glass video display systems, have achieved supply performance worth approximately 20 billion KRW in the public market.

Jung Moo-kyung, Administrator of the Public Procurement Service, stated, “The Public Procurement Service will actively support new products such as convergence products to secure sales channels through entry into the public procurement market as part of promoting innovative procurement policies.”
