How the Brazilian government buys medicines

Medicine purchases are among the most frequent in the country: city governments stock their primary-care pharmacies, hospitals replenish inventory, and public health consortia buy jointly to bring prices down. Suppliers need an Operating Authorization (AFE) from Anvisa (Brazil's health regulatory agency), a state or municipal health license and, almost always, proof that the product is registered with Anvisa. Distributors usually compete item by item, with thin margins and high volume.

What the tender notice usually requires

Typical activity code (CNAE): 46.44-3 (wholesale of medicines). Make sure the company's registered business purpose covers the activity before bidding — an incompatible CNAE is grounds for disqualification.
