The application period for the Performance Certification System runs until May 29, while applications for the Pilot Purchase System for Technology Development Products will be accepted online via the Comprehensive Public Procurement Information Network (SMPP) from May 27 through June 17.


The Performance Certification System verifies and certifies the performance of technology development products from SMEs, thereby facilitating purchases by public institutions. Products that obtain certification are eligible for negotiated contracts with public institutions in accordance with relevant laws, and can also be included as priority targets for public procurement of technology development products.


The Pilot Purchase System for Technology Development Products evaluates technology development products from SMEs and selects them as pilot purchase products, supporting public institutions in purchasing these items. The purchase records of pilot products are reflected in the management evaluations of the institutions, thereby encouraging public institutions to participate in the system and promote purchases.



Lee Taesik, CEO of Han Yuwon, stated, "The Performance Certification (EPC) System and the Pilot Purchase System for Technology Development Products are programs that support the entry of SMEs with sufficient technological capabilities into the public procurement market. We sincerely ask for the strong interest and active participation of SMEs with outstanding technology development products."
