Wto Government Procurement Agreement

Conclusion of Revised WTO Government Procurement Agreement in 2011

United States views on international law (based on the document “Digest of U.S. Practice in International Law”): Also at the 8th Ministerial Conference of the WTO in December 2011, the ministers representing parties to the WTO Government Procurement Agreement (“GPA”) reached agreement on revisions to the text of the GPA and expansion of its coverage. A USTR Fact Sheet, excerpted below and available at (internet link) ustr.gov/about-us/press-office/fact-sheets/2011/december/benefits-united-states-revised-wto-government-procur, identified benefits of the revised GPA. For more information on the GPA, see (internet link) wto.org/english/news_e/news11_e/gpro_15dec11_e.htm.

Developments

New Opportunities with Central Government Entities The revised agreement will give U.S. suppliers access to more than 150 additional central government entities in European Union Member States, including Bulgaria, Finland, France, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, Romania, and Sweden.

U.S. suppliers will also gain access to a number of additional central government entities in other GPA Parties, including in Aruba, Hong Kong, Israel, Liechtenstein, Korea, and Switzerland. U.S. suppliers will also gain new market access through the reduction of thresholds – the monetary value below which contracts are not covered—in several Parties, including Israel, Japan and Aruba.

New Opportunities with Sub-Central Government Entities GPA Parties including Japan, Korea, and Israel have added a number of sub-central entities. Canada is providing access to its provinces for the first time under the revised GPA. (The United States has been able to participate in Canadian provincial procurement since February 2010 when it signed a bilateral agreement with Canada.) New Opportunities with Government Enterprises The GPA Parties will also expand the government enterprises that they cover under the GPA. This will include new enterprises in Israel such as the Environmental Services Company and development companies, as well as new entities from Japan, Korea, Liechtenstein and Chinese Taipei.

Details

New Opportunities in Services Sectors Already-competitive U.S. services suppliers will find new opportunities with the addition of more than 50 categories of services in Aruba, Hong Kong, Israel, Japan, Korea, Singapore, and Switzerland. This includes complete coverage of the telecommunications sector in several Parties.

Phase-out of Israel's Requirements for Domestic Content A major achievement of the negotiations is Israel's commitment to phase out the offsets—requirements for domestic content—that it has maintained since 1981. Over 15 years, Israel will progressively reduce its application of these offsets to zero from the current 20%, reduce the number of entities that apply offsets, and set a threshold below which offsets will not be applied.

More about the Issue

Support for Modern Business Practices in Government Procurement The modernized text updates the GPA to incorporate current procurement practices, in particular through the use of electronic procurement in GPA member countries. It significantly clarifies GPA requirements, increases transparency of procurement practices through electronic methods, provides more flexibility for procuring entities, especially when buying commercial (off-the-shelf) goods and services, and promotes the adoption of such practices in potential future member countries. The revised GPA specifies the transitional measures for developing countries, which should facilitate the accession of developing countries to the GPA.

U.S.-EU Bilateral Procurement Forum In conjunction with the conclusion of the GPA revision, the United States and the European Union will establish a Bilateral Procurement Forum that will provide an opportunity to expand the U.S. procurement relationship on a bilateral basis. Under this Forum, we will take up procurement regulatory issues and international procurement issues, such as China's accession to the GPA—a key priority for both sides. In addition, the United States and the EU will explore the possible expansion of procurement commitments, primarily on a national treatment basis. The United States will only cover procurement of sub-central entities, such as states, with that entity's authorization.

Maintaining Priorities for Small and Minority Firms Under the revised Government Procurement Agreement, the United States maintains all of its current exclusions and exceptions, including its exclusion of set-asides for small and minority firms.
