Actually, as Mila Druwe says, the government is not allowed to
push/force a particular proposal (that would be against fair
compatition).

They can set some objective criteria though.

E.g. once the government finally moves over to ODF as the only real open
document format (as there exist no implementations of OOXML, and
probably never will), then the government can require compatibility with
ODF (so that people can communicate with the government efficiently).
