How Public Procurement Works in United States

Public buyers in United States advertise the bulk of their contracts through SAM.gov (System for Award Management). Domestic tendering is governed by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), which sets the rules on competition, eligibility, and award, while internationally-funded projects additionally apply the procurement guidelines of the financing institution. Tender documents are generally issued in English, and contract values are denominated in the US dollar (USD).
