Public Procurement Law 47-25 enters force during Luis Abinader’s administration

Public Procurement Law 47-25 entered into force in January 2026, with stronger set-asides for MSMEs and mandatory use of the SECP. The figure is reported by Dirección General de Contrataciones Públicas (DGCP). During Luis Abinader’s administration, the new law changes how public purchasing is structured, including stronger provisions for MSMEs and mandatory use of the electronic procurement system. Its impact will depend on implementation, oversight and whether competition becomes broader and more transparent. Mandatory use of the SECP increases the role of digital records and standardized procedures in government purchasing.
