Tajikistan - Selling to the GovernmentTajikistan-Selling-to-the-Government
Many governments finance public works projects through borrowing from the Multilateral Development Banks. Please refer to Project Financing Section in Trade and Project Financing for more information.
The current system of public procurement exists since March 2006 with the adoption of the "Law on State Procurement of Goods, Works and Services" based on the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law’s Law on Public Procurement. The 2006 Law on State Procurement and several amendments regulate state procurement to ministries, state agencies, and companies and enterprises in which the state holds more than 50% of the shares. The Tajik Agency on Public Procurement of Goods, Works, and Services (http://goszakupki.tj/) is the main coordinating agency in the Tajik government for state purchases, which is not regularly updated.
The Government of Tajikistan has a number of infrastructure projects financed by international financial institutions and foreign governments, including China, Russia, Kazakhstan and Iran. Large-scale opportunities exist in the following sectors: transport, energy, and mining. U.S. companies considering entering the Tajik market and becoming a government supplier must take into consideration the high level of corruption within the public sector, as well as competition from foreign companies that may use political and other types of leverage during negotiations for state investments. To obtain more information on procurement opportunities, interested U.S. companies are encouraged to contact the U.S. Embassy in Dushanbe.
