I think this word is being misused in this context. Could the author mean replicate? I'd appreciate suggestions.

Explanation:
I think that's what they mean here. See DRAE for definition of "plica" - plica f (Esp) sealed tender, sealed bid. Could be referring to outsourcing. Of course, maybe they do mean "replicate" - which country is this from?
