  "bluf": "The Dominican Republic Ley 340-06 sobre Compras y Contrataciones de Bienes, Servicios, Obras y Concesiones (Law 340-06 on Procurement and Contracting of Goods, Services, Works and Concessions) promulgated 18 August 2006 as amended by Ley 449-06 of 6 December 2006 and substantially modernised by Ley 47-20 sobre Alianzas Publico-Privadas and the Reglamento de Aplicacion approved by Decreto 543-12 of 6 September 2012 is the principal Dominican procurement framework governing procurement of goods, services, works, and concessions by entities of the Public Administration including the Executive Branch (Poder Ejecutivo), the Legislative Branch (Poder Legislativo), the Judicial Branch (Poder Judicial), Autonomous and Decentralized Entities, municipalities (Ayuntamientos), public-sector enterprises, and other entities financed by the State budget. The Direccion General de Contrataciones Publicas (DGCP / dgcp.gob.do) under the Ministry of Finance (Ministerio de Hacienda) is the central regulatory authority responsible for procurement regulation, oversight, compliance monitoring, supplier debarment, and operation of the public procurement portal. The Portal Transaccional (transaccionales.comprasdominicana.gob.do) operated by DGCP is the mandatory federal transactional e-procurement platform for in-scope procurement. The Tribunal Superior Administrativo (TSA) handles judicial review of procurement decisions. Procurement methods established by Ley 340-06 art. 16 and Decreto 543-12 art. 9 to 38 comprise (a) Licitacion Publica Nacional o Internacional (Public Tender National or International, the default open public procedure for prescribed-value acquisitions), (b) Licitacion Restringida (Restricted Tender, with prequalification), (c) Sorteo de Obras (Public Works Lottery, for prescribed civil works), (d) Comparacion de Precios (Price Comparison, for medium-value acquisitions), (e) Compras Menores (Minor Procurement, for small-value acquisitions), (f) Compras por Debajo del Umbral Minimo (Below Minimum Threshold Procurement, for very low-value), (g) Procedimiento de Excepcion (Exception Procedure, sole-source under prescribed exceptions in art. 6), and (h) Subasta Inversa (Reverse Auction, for standardised products). The Camara de Cuentas (Chamber of Accounts) conducts ex-post procurement audit. The Dominican Republic is a party to the CAFTA-DR and operates within that procurement framework.",
