Venture Nara Product Designation Application

Venture Nara is the online marketplace for venture and start-up companies that the Public Procurement Service (PPS) operates under Article 29 of the Enforcement Decree of the Public Procurement Business Act, and the designation criteria and procedure are set out in the PPS notice "Regulations on the Designation and Management of Goods and Services Registered on Venture Nara". Eligible items are goods and services that venture companies, start-ups within 7 years of founding, youth companies whose representative is 39 or younger, social enterprises, social cooperatives, self-sufficiency enterprises, village enterprises and standard workplaces for persons with disabilities produce themselves or have produced by a domestic manufacturer on an OEM basis. Companies that are not small or medium-sized enterprises, companies that are closed, suspended or under sanctions as unjust bidders, semi-finished goods, products already listed in the Nara Marketplace shopping mall under the same item identification number, and products within 6 months of a designation cancellation may be excluded. Applications are filed in response to candidate recruitment notices issued by PPS and recommending institutions; the PPS Advanced Convergence Products Procurement Division reviews them and the Innovative Procurement Review Committee decides on designation. The designation takes effect once the product is registered on Venture Nara, and the designation period is 6 years from the initial designation date.

Procedure

Procedure

  1. 01

    Check eligibility and exclusions: First check the company-type certificate and SME status, then whether the product is made overseas, is a semi-finished good rather than a finished consumer product, or falls into categories difficult to supply as procurement goods such as food, agricultural and fishery products or medicines. Since eligibility is judged as of the designation date, also make sure the certificate does not expire during the review.

  2. 02

    Register bidding qualification and detailed item names: Register bidding qualification on Nara Marketplace (KONEPS) and register the detailed item name of the product as a manufactured item. OEM products registered as supplied items may still be allowed on Venture Nara, and companies already registered for bidding qualification are recognized as is.

  3. 03

    Obtain the item catalog number: Separately from bidding registration, request cataloging in the PPS catalog information system to receive a 16-digit item catalog number made up of an 8-digit classification number and an 8-digit identification number. A number already issued before designation is recognized as is.

  4. 04

    Prepare application documents: Prepare the document-submission pledge, the designation application, the product description, quality evidence, the pledge to deliver statutory and quality-certified products, and the price data summary. If there is no quality certificate or accredited test report, submit a quality management plan; all evidence must be issued before the application deadline.

  5. 05

    Apply according to the notice and supplement: Apply during the period and at the place stated in the candidate recruitment notice jointly issued by PPS and the recommending institutions. If a request for supplementation is not answered by the deadline, the review proceeds on the original documents only, and unclear documents are excluded from review.

  6. 06

    Review, product registration and certificate: Once designated through the Innovative Procurement Review Committee, the result is notified on the designation date and posted on the Venture Nara notice board. After registering company information, the supply commitment, product information and the registered unit price and receiving approval, the designation takes effect and the company receives a designation certificate and may use the designation mark on products and promotional materials.

Submitting false designation documents can lead to cancellation, after which the same product cannot reapply for 6 months, and exaggerated company or product information can bring a 6-month suspension, so certificate and test report details should be copied exactly as issued.
