Korea Tender Eligibility (면허·지역 제한) — Can You Even Bid?

Before price, before schedule, before anything: may your company bid on this tender at all?

Korean public bodies attach two kinds of gate to a tender — a licence / industry requirement and a region requirement. Miss either and the bid is rejected on submission. Roughly 2,600 restrictions are registered a day across the two.

Licence   식품판매업(집단급식소식품판매업)  code 5246   · 15 allowed industries
Licence   축산물판매업(식육판매업)          code 4010   · 1 allowed industry
Region    경기도            Construction
Region    경상북도          Construction

The upstream API splits these across two endpoints and packs name and code into one string (시약판매업/7468). This Actor merges the two and separates name from code, so you can filter by code rather than by fuzzy Korean text.

What you get

One record per restriction. A tender with two licence conditions and one region condition produces three records, keyed by notice_no + restriction_type + restriction_seq.

Field	Notes
restriction_type / _en	license → "Licence / industry", region → "Region"
required_license	{ name_ko, code } — the licence a bidder must hold
allowed_industries[]	{ name_ko, code } — industry registrations accepted
industry_fields[]	{ name_ko, code } — specialist fields, where applicable
region_ko	Permitted region, e.g. 경기도, 전남광주통합특별시 목포시
category_ko / category	물품 / 공사 / 용역 / 외자 → Goods / Construction / Services / Foreign
restriction_group_no, restriction_seq	Grouping when several conditions apply
notice_no, notice_seq, registered_at, url	Link back to the notice

Input

Every field is optional. The default is the last 7 days, both restriction types.

Field	Type	Notes
startDate / endDate	date	YYYY-MM-DD, Korea time
categories	array	license, region
keywords	array	Match a licence name, industry or region. Korean or English — 전기공사, 서울, 소프트웨어
maxItems	integer	Stop after N restrictions. 0 = no limit

Who this is for

• Bidders filtering the daily notice feed down to tenders they are actually allowed to enter — the single biggest time-saver in Korean procurement
• Bid-support tools that need to match a company's licences and location against open tenders automatically
• Market analysts measuring how restricted a category is, and which regions wall off their construction spend
• AI agents answering "is this client eligible for this tender?"

Notes

Source. 조달청 나라장터 입찰공고정보서비스, published on Korea's national open-data portal under an unrestricted licence (이용허락범위 제한 없음). Every record carries a source field and a url back to the original notice.

This is an API client, not a scraper. Data comes from the government's own REST API with a registered key, so nothing breaks when g2b.go.kr is redesigned.

No personal data. Contact details are stripped from free-text fields and are never emitted.
