Welcome to the Initiative for Software Choice

Government Procurement Protocols


Learn more about the Initiative for Software Choice, a global initiative promoting neutral government procurement, standards and public R&D policies for software!

To encourage continued software innovation and promote broad choice, governments are encouraged to consider the following neutral principles:

  • Procure software on its merits, not through categorical preferences
  • Promote broad availability of government funded research
  • Promote interoperability through platform-neutral standards
  • Maintain a choice of strong intellectual property protections
