Government tenders from Costa Rica

Costa Rica's government procurement, exceeding $6 billion in the past decade, is undergoing a transformation. The new General Public Procurement Law (GPPL) implemented in December 2022 introduces a "Strategic Public Procurement" category and a dedicated Public Procurement Authority. Tenders, primarily announced in La Gaceta and the Sistema de Compras Públicas (SICOP), offer opportunities for local and international suppliers, with U.S. companies benefiting from preferential treatment under CAFTA-DR.
