Selling to German government entities is not an easy process. German government procurement is formally non-discriminatory and compliant with the WTO Government Procurement Agreement (GPA) and EU-wide legislation under the EU Public Procurement Directives. That said, it is a major challenge to compete head-to-head with major German or other EU suppliers who have established long-term ties with purchasing entities.  For information on EU procurement, please refer to the article in the the Country Commercial Guide for European Union at https://www.trade.gov/country-commercial-guides/eu-selling-public-sector.
