Sole-Source Award: open tenders (Inexigibilidade)

27 open tenders in Brazil under this method.

A sole-source award (inexigibilidade) applies when competition is impossible: an exclusive supplier, a renowned artist or a specialized technical service of notorious expertise. It is not a blank check — the agency must justify the choice and the price, and everything is published on the PNCP.

Tender notices are published in Portuguese, so descriptions appear as the agency wrote them. Search with English or Portuguese keywords — common English terms are translated automatically. New to Brazil? Start with how foreign companies can bid.
