barangjasa

Barangjasa is an Indonesian term that functionally means goods and services, often written as barang/jasa or barang dan jasa in formal contexts. It is used to describe the two broad categories of purchasable outputs in business, government procurement, and budgeting: tangible items (barang) and intangible activities or outputs performed by others (jasa).

Barang refers to tangible, physical items that can be owned, stored, and transferred. Examples include electronics, furniture, vehicles, machinery, and other material goods. Jasa refers to intangible work delivered by a person or organization, such as consulting, maintenance, software development, construction work, training, transportation, or professional services. Some procurements cover a combination of both, known as mixed or turnkey contracts, where suppliers provide both goods and related services.

In procurement practice, especially in government and public sector contexts in Indonesia, the category barang/jasa appears on tender documents, procurement plans, and contract awards to indicate that the purchase may involve goods, services, or a combination. The evaluation of such procurements commonly considers price, quality, delivery or performance time, and after-sales service. Legal and regulatory frameworks may distinguish between procurement of goods versus services for budgeting, accounting, and tax purposes, but many contracts pool both under a single supplier arrangement.

In everyday business, the terms barang and jasa are frequently used separately to classify products on catalogs, marketplaces, or service portals. The combined form barangjasa is primarily a practical shorthand in planning and procurement contexts, rather than a distinct legal category.
