Public Procurement Service Designates 43 New Innovative Products and Awards Certificates

[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] The Public Procurement Service designated 43 new innovative products and awarded certificates.

On the 20th, the Public Procurement Service announced that it held a certificate awarding ceremony for the designation of new innovative products at the Seoul Regional Public Procurement Service.

The innovative products that received certificates on this day were those designated at last year's "2nd Procurement Policy Deliberation Committee," including products recommended by the recommendation committee, products restricted by procurement companies, and products proposed by public institutions to solve specific tasks.

In particular, among these, the first results of the Public Demand Maturation Support (Incubating) system, which plans and materializes public demand to solve environmental public issues, such as the "Lightweight Solar Power Module in Pavement Block Form" and the "Low Impact Development (LID) Ecological Walkway System," were included in the list of innovative products.

Additionally, the innovative products include many items that enhance the quality of life for the public through public services, such as an AI smart stethoscope, a specimen ampoule storage device for COVID-19 screening clinics, and an AI-based service for finding missing children and elderly dementia patients.

The Public Procurement Service registers the designated innovative products in the Innovation Marketplace, allowing public institutions to enter into direct contracts for three years.

It also provides opportunities to participate in the Public Procurement Service's pilot purchase project for innovative products.

Kim Jeong-woo, head of the Public Procurement Service, said, "This year as well, the Public Procurement Service will devote its institutional capabilities to actively discover and support innovative products."
