Selling to the Government

The Public Procurement Office, which reports directly to the Government (Prime Minister’s Office), coordinates and monitors public procurement with the relevant ministries and other authorities.  The Law on Public Procurement governs all public procurement in Lithuania.

Currently, the best opportunities for U.S. suppliers and service providers are in the environmental protection, defense, transportation, chemicals, communications, information technology, food products, and energy sectors.

U.S. companies bidding on Government tenders may also qualify for U.S. Government advocacy. A unit of the U.S. Commerce Department’s International Trade Administration, the Advocacy Center.  Center coordinates U.S. Government interagency advocacy efforts on behalf of U.S. exporters bidding on public sector contracts with international governments and government agencies. The Advocacy Center works closely with our network of the U.S. Commercial Service worldwide and inter-agency partners to ensure that exporters of U.S. products and services have the best possible chance of winning government contracts. Advocacy assistance can take many forms but often involves the U.S. Embassy or other U.S. Government agencies expressing support for the U.S. bidders directly to the foreign government.
