Indonesia's 2012 Defence Law and Presidential Regulation 76/2014 prioritise the use of local materials and components by defence agencies, emphasising the procurement of locally produced goods and services whenever possible. Additionally, in cases where Indonesian government entities procure from foreign defence suppliers due to local supply limitations, regulations mandate "trade balancing" offsets. These offsets can include incorporating local content, production offsets, technology transfer, or a combination of these measures.

Government Regulation No. 71/2019 on the Provision of Electronic System and Transaction (Peraturan Pemerintah (PP) Nomor 71 Tahun 2019 Penyelenggaraan Sistem dan Transaksi Elektronik)
Government Regulation No. 71/2019 requires operators of electronic systems for public purposes to store electronic transaction data within Indonesia, unless the necessary technology is unavailable locally. Public Electronic System Operators (ESOs) include: (a) public bodies, such as central and regional executive, legislative, and judicial bodies, as well as any other entities established under statutory mandates; and (b) entities appointed by public bodies to operate electronic systems on their behalf.
Previously, Government Regulation No. 82, which was revoked by Regulation No. 71/2019, mandated that electronic system operators for public services connect their data to a data centre and a disaster recovery centre located within Indonesian territory for purposes of law enforcement and data protection (Art. 17). Although the term “public services” was not explicitly defined under GR 82, it was broadly interpreted by the Ministry of Communications and Informatics (MOCI) to include all services offered to the public via the Internet. This interpretation effectively extended local storage obligations to numerous private sector companies.

The Ministry of Finance Regulation No.115/PMK.06/2020, which replaces the Ministry of Finance Regulation No. 65/PMK.06/2016 mandates foreign entities to establish an Indonesian limited liability company before utilising the state-owned property for undertaking the public procurement of the infrastructure projects (including telecommunication infrastructure) under the public-private partnership scheme. This requirement has already been in place since 2016. Nevertheless, this represents a liberalisation for foreign companies in Indonesian public procurements since it previously required the prioritisation of domestic service suppliers.

The Ministry of Industry Regulation No. 02/M-IND/PER/1/2014, issued on 13 January 2014, replaced Regulation No. 15/M-IND/PER/2/2011 and introduced restrictions on public procurement to promote the use of domestic products. The regulation establishes a framework for categorising public goods and services based on the Domestic Component Level (TKDN) and the Company Utilization Point Rating (BMP), which evaluates suppliers' investments in Indonesia. The BMP considers factors such as support for micro and small enterprises, compliance with work, health, and environmental safety standards, and possession of a quality management certificate (Art. 1(8) of the regulation).
According to Art. 6, goods are classified into three categories based on the cumulative scores of TKDN and BMP:
- Obligatory Goods: These must have a cumulative score of over 40%, including at least 25% of TKDN.
- Maximised Goods: These must have a cumulative score of over 40%, including at least 15% of TKDN.
- Empowered Goods: These must achieve a TKDN score of at least 10%.
