  "bluf": "The Jordan Government Procurement Bylaw No. 28 of 2019 (Nidham al-Mushtarayat al-Hukumiyya raqm 28 li-sanat 2019, in Arabic) issued by Council of Ministers Decision and published in the Official Gazette No. 5566 of 1 March 2019, effective 1 January 2020, is the principal Jordanian regulatory framework governing procurement of goods, services, and works by ministries, public departments, public institutions, government units, and other public entities financed by the State budget. The 2019 Bylaw replaced the prior Government Supplies By-Law No. 32 of 1993 (for goods and services) and the Government Tenders By-Law No. 71 of 1986 (for works) and consolidated the Jordanian procurement framework into a unified regime. The Government Procurement Department (GPD, Da'irat al-Lawazim al-Aamma) within the Ministry of Finance is the central procurement policy authority. The Jordan Online E-Procurement System (JONEPPS / jonepps.jo) operated by the GPD is the federal e-procurement platform. Procurement methods established by the 2019 Bylaw comprise (a) Open Tender (Munaqasa Aamma, the default open public tender), (b) Limited Tender (Munaqasa Mahduda, with prequalification or restricted to pre-approved suppliers), (c) Local Tender (Munaqasa Mahalliyya, restricted to local Jordanian suppliers in prescribed circumstances), (d) Direct Procurement (Shira'a Mubasher, sole-source under prescribed exceptions including emergency, sole supplier for technical reasons, prior failed tendering, and small-value below thresholds), (e) Two-Stage Tender (for complex acquisitions), (f) Framework Agreement (Ittifaq Itari), and (g) Reverse Auction (Mazaad Aksi for prescribed items). The 2019 Bylaw introduced strengthened integrity provisions including supplier debarment under Article 49, anti-corruption commitments, conflict of interest disclosure, and beneficial ownership disclosure. The Audit Bureau (Diwan al-Muhasaba) and the Integrity and Anti-Corruption Commission (JIACC, Hayat al-Nazaha wa Mukafaha al-Fasad) have audit and integrity oversight. Jordan is NOT a party to the WTO Government Procurement Agreement (GPA) but is an observer. Jordan is a party to the Greater Arab Free Trade Area (GAFTA), the US-Jordan Free Trade Agreement (2001), the EU-Jordan Association Agreement (2002), and the UNCAC.",
