Public Procurement Service Selects 69 New G-PASS Companies... Supporting Overseas Expansion

The Public Procurement Service (PPS) has identified and newly designated 69 promising companies for overseas procurement market entry, known as Government Performance ASSured (G-PASS) companies.

On the 20th, the PPS announced that it awarded designation certificates to the newly designated G-PASS companies at the Seoul Regional Procurement Service office.

The newly designated G-PASS companies receiving certificates on this day include many firms with export experience, overseas certifications, and international industrial property rights, making them promising candidates for entering the overseas procurement market.

Notably, among these companies are an eco-friendly paint export company targeting the Southeast Asian market such as Vietnam with a well-established supply chain, and an autonomous logistics robot manufacturer pioneering sales channels with numerous public institutions and large corporations through innovative product designation and pilot purchases, attracting attention.

The PPS plans to provide preferential treatment to G-PASS companies when participating in domestic procurement markets and overseas expansion support projects, as well as offer information on overseas procurement market bids.

Earlier in April, the PPS established a training program to cultivate company employees as experts in overseas procurement markets and expanded export guidance by dispatching market development teams to countries such as Australia and Vietnam in May.

Lim Gi-geun, Administrator of the PPS, stated, “This year, the PPS will actively operate a customized comprehensive support project for overseas procurement market entry so that procurement companies can tangibly feel the effects of export support policies in the field. Above all, we will focus on discovering G-PASS companies in fields expected to see increased international procurement demand, such as eco-friendly equipment and disaster recovery and safety, and strengthening support for their overseas expansion.”
