The preference margin runs through Brazil's general public-procurement law (Lei nº 14,133/2021, Art. 26) and its implementing decree for manufactured-goods/national-technology preference (Decreto nº 11,889/2024). CIIA-PAC/CC — the inter-ministerial body under Casa Civil that runs procurement policy for Novo PAC (Brazil's flagship infrastructure/industrial program) — enumerates, item by item, which manufactured products are eligible for the margin. Resolução nº 3/2025 is the first list scoped specifically to healthcare equipment used in SUS primary and specialised care. Eligible bids from domestic manufacturers can beat foreign-equipment bids priced up to 10-20% lower, provided the manufacturer holds a BNDES Finame accreditation (the development bank's approved-supplier registry for domestically manufactured capital goods) and the product meets TECNAC national-technology content criteria.
This is a local-content/buy-national instrument, not a tariff or import restriction — foreign equipment is not excluded from bidding, but domestic bids get a structural price cushion in public tenders, which is the government's primary channel for healthcare-equipment purchasing.
