<p>This  paper  explores  the  specific  legal  content  of  the  1979  and  1993  Agreements  on  Government Procurement  as  well  as  the  North  American  Free  Trade  Agreement's  Chapter  Ten  (Government Procurement).  One  chapter  addresses  the  use  of  free  trade  agreements,  associated  problems,  and  how the  agreements  have  been  applied  to  the  public  sector.  The  content  of  each  of  the  primary  documents  is analyzed  and  comparisons  made  between  the  documents  where  applicable.  Available  data  and  studies  are reviewed  to  determine  the  effect  of  the  1979  Agreement  on  Government  Procurement  on  the  current magnitude  of  public  procurement  contracts  and  the  possible  effects  on  the  future  bidding  potential  for suppliers  of  goods  and  services  in  the  international  government  procurement  marketplace.  Finally,  the prospect  for  the  continued  influence  of  free  trade  agreements  on  public  sector  contracting  is  examined.
